Copper Creek Steam Beer

Tap at Copper Creek, Athens GA pours light amber, off white head. aroma is spicy, some floral hops taste, spicy hops, light roasted malts, finish with some bitterness and malt balance.

On tap at brewpub. Poured amber orange with a small white head. Aroma of fresh citrus and pine hops, sweet caramel malt. Taste is also malty, with a hop bitter finish. This is a hoppy brew for this style. But, it’s very drinkable and pretty enjoyable.

Another from the 2005 Classis city fest that I cannot read completely. Can only make out scors and the word "fruity". Oh well.

Definatly rivals Anchors steam beer, almost a clone in some regard. In fact, it may be better. Also, pretty light on the stomach so if you head in for two dollar tuesdays you can have quite a few of these and still have some room for the hot dog guy on the corner.

Not the best California Common I’ve ever had, but a well-balanced, refreshing beer. Good hoppiness and pleasing color.

had it at the brewpub. Not the most fantastic beer i’ve had, but I *think* this is my frist ever steam beer. had a nice copper color with some ruby highlights. Tasted much like an IPA to me, lots of hops and citrus characteristics, but, what seems to be the theme at the brewery, it was rounded out nicely and not overly bitter or astringent due to the very nice malt backbone. These guys seem to know what they’re doing.

this is a very interesting style. had it on tap at the brewpub in athens. amberish tone to it. had a decent amount of hops, more that i would have expected. these hops i speak of were layered over a solid malt base.
