Cooperstown Nine Man Ale

12 oz bottle. Pours a clear dark gold body with a one finger frothy white head that left some spotty lacing. The nose is pretty much all butter with just a little pale malt. Tons of butter on the flavor as well and not much else. Light bodied and slick in texture with a clingy finish. Garbage.

Pours golden with a good clarity, good head, and good lace... good looking beer eh? Aroma is faint and mildly floral. Flavor on the other hand is mild but well nuanced. Lightly hoppy flavors with a mild but pleasant graininess with some rose water hints..

Appearance has short-lived head. Clear honey-golden color. Carbonation visible. Able to see right through it, but doesn’t look light or thin. Some pretty good lace. Smell is dry malt, like a typical ale. Has a slightly toaste aroma. Also has a ncie, honey-coated sweetness. Flowery. Very good. Sweetly pilsnerish. Dry bitter ale malt topped with a sweet, flowery sweetness. Some honey and butterscotch (slightly). Sweetness is really pleasant, not overbearing. Summery and refreshing. Smooth and buttery. Creamy. Not at all thin or watery. Nicely sweet but dry as well. Well-balanced. A summer sipper.

Had this one bottled at the brewery in Milford, New York. Medium yellow pour, with a light, maple sweetness with a nice piney hoppiness, and a sharp finish,very nice!

12 ounce bottle from Glenville beverage. Pours a golden color. Head hea dthat disapears quickly, no lacing. I can small the hops. Taste is hoppy and has a little bite, kind of sharp in my mouth. If anything else is available , try the others first.

Pours a nice light golden and a decent white head- fades slightly. Aroma is traditional ringwod butter diacetyl with some herbal floral hops and some light bready pale malts. Doughy and bready flavor a bit slick with diacetyl , butter, and lightly hopped. Goes down ok. One of the more prominent diacetyl bombs of their lineup.

notes from 3/11/08. on tap from brewery tasting. Pale yellow in appearance, aroma is faint of hops. Quite simple, subdued hop flavor with slight end sweetness. Very drinkable, but nothing special.

Bottle. Pours amber with an off white head. Nice sweet aroma of caramel and fruit, peach and grape. Medium body and overcarbonated. Flavor starts a bit sweet with the slightest hint of hops and ends on a metallic note. Not that good.
