Cooperstown Nine Man Ale

Brewed by Cooperstown Brewing Co.
Style: Golden Ale/Blond Ale
Milford, New York USA

Bottle, from Halftime. Good nose, grassy lemon/lime, maybe a hint of clove. Big foam, and I usually pour so they don’t, beigey white colored. Hazy brownish orange color, a little sediment. Flavors are same as aromas. Thinner bodied, creamy mouthfeel, bitter finish, clovey thing shows up. Good beer, but I’m not crazy about the flavor .

Clear amber color with a tall chunky head that had a good hang time. Aroma was bready. No real strong hop presence, but just enough to keep this from being overly sweet. Well balanced, but a rather tame and easy drinking middle-of-the road ale.

4 oz sampler sampled at brewery, poured hard by the brewer, such a shame because at least 1 1/2 ounces were foam wash out. Decent taste with a light feel in the mouth. Finished with a stiff hop kick and a bitter aftertaste.

Pale yellow body with a fast diminishing white head. Toasty malt in the aroma with some fruity buttery caramel undertones. Flavour is mildly bitter, with an odd dry butterlike quality to the finish. Average body. Dull, but not unpleasant.

Pours clear yellow-orange with a frothy white head. Floral aroma. Sweet citrus fruity taste with a lot of fizz. After taste is a bit metallic.

Draft @ Brewery. Clear gold color with smallish thin head. Aroma was light toffee with a bit of caramel. Not much hop taste but more of a bitter lemon thing going on. Dull.

(Bottle) Pours a medium, foamy, non-dissipating almond-coloured head and a clear, lightly-carbonated, orange body. Nose of sweet malt and balanced hops. Flavour is an uneventful swing between very-mild hops and fizzy carbonated water. Little happening here for me.

Nice ale, very drinkable on a warm day after some yard work. Best way to describe is bitter sweet. Will not fill you up.
