Boulder Beer Singletrack Copper Ale

Brewed by Boulder Beer Company
Style: Amber Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

Location: Old rating from a 12 oz bottle from a trip to Denver Fall ’07

Overall Impression: No notes from this old rating, but lets put a score in for now, and I’ll update when I come across this beer again.

Sunny but hazy amber-yellow. Terrific bishop’s collar of lace at the top. Nice to look at. Some nice sweet and biscuity barley malt smell. Mild hop presence. Pleasant but not much to speak of in terms of variety. The taste is pleasant, sweetish barley. Minor citrusy hop that adds nice balance. Has a hoppy pilsnerish quality. A fine example of a light ale with a citrus kick. (Similar in many ways to Erie Brewing’s Mad Anthony.) The feel is creamy and medium bodied. Nice bod. It’s quite quaffable. Light but not watery; hoppy but not bitter.

Doughy and malty aroma...Slightly bitter finish. Overall, an average and ok beer.

Enjoyed on draft at the Belgian Cafe. Copper color, thin head but very strong lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, taste is on the malty side and lightly spiced. Not a ton of character in the palate but a nice lingering roasted malt taste.

Sampled at the 8th Annual Music City Brewer’s Festival. Caramel orange, off white foam. Aroma is dried fruits, pine hops, caramel. Taste is raisins, prunes, caramel, metal, citrus hop finish.

a perfectly adequate copper ale. taste somewhat malty with a strongier astrigency that i was expecting. heavy hoppy backnote. its ok, nothing special.

Uncomplicated, malty sweet with a touch of fruity hops. Lighter/medium bodied, finishes fruity and a tad dry. Easy drinking and good for a summer BBQ.

Bottle. Poured copper with thick white head. Little lacing. Slight malty aroma. Not unpleasant just very little of it. Medium body with malt and a little bitterness. Moderate middle of the tongue finish.
