Cooperstown Old Slugger

Brewed by Cooperstown Brewing Co.
Style: American Pale Ale
Milford, New York USA

Another disappointing beer from Cooperstown, just like two of the others I tasted this pale ale was way too heavy on the hops without enough malt to balance it out, harshly bitter flavor & finish, one good thing about this beer was the smooth & creamy body, this would have been a heck of a lot better with some maltiness to balance it all out

Bottle. This did not really taste like a pale ale. Too much yeast taste and not defintive aroma. Leaves too much of a bitter taste in the mouth.

Poured from bottle purchased at brewery. I smell hops and wheat, as expected. Maybe a bit shy on the hop content, but a decent mix with the malt. Clean hop, malt aftertaste. Good finish.

Pours a nice copper orange with a thick head that lasts. Aroma is earthy and a bit citrusy. Flavor is of decaying leaves, toffee, and apples, with a bit of a metallic finish, sub par.

[Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm] Clear amber, average head. Dusty aroma of citrus and melon. Light ly appley with sharp unpleasantly metallic mouthfeel. No malt flavour, too little hops and a fizzy quick finish. What went wrong here?

With a malty nose redolent with caramel and toffee and a clear amber visage, Olf Slugger is a solid American Pale. Fruity with a strong malty backbone, the Slugger is middling in the hop bitterness department. A first a bit thin, further quaffs yield a building flavor profile. Not complex, but solid.

A dark gold body with a frothy off white head. The aroma was oranges with apples and some toffee. The taste was crisp with apple core and some leaves. An interesting take on the style and I assume the yeast makes the difference. A little more English type character than many APA’s.

On draught at the brewery. Pours opaque brown/copper with a thin white head. Smells slightly rosey with some grape elements. Tastes malty with some light hoppy elements.
