Very little noticable hops, though they are there. The maltiness is more evident. Has some homebrew feelings. Not the best brew, but an easy drink.

Nice copper color with average bottle pour head. Malty on the nose. Nice malt to hop balance. Slight toasty/nutty flavor. Clean finish.

Deep copper color, moderate head. Crystal malt aromas with earthy/spicy hops hiding. Deep, full malt flavor with just enough hops to balance - again earthy and mildly spicy. Nice mouthfeel. Good session beer.

Pours copper as the name suggests. Less hops than I expected on the aroma of malts. White head that hangs around a bit. Aroma is mostly citrus and malts. Flavor is dry but sweet with some citrus on the back. A light brew with a little bit of bite. Not to bad all in all.

2004 bottle at Julio’s Spring Beer Fest, 4/02/05. Bright orange-rust-and-copper body, with a small white head, moderate retention. Aroma of lightly sweet vienna and/or pils malt, slight graininess, a bit of oranges and tangerines. Flavor is lightly dry, yet there is a moderately sweet, fruit and yeast mix, with some honey. A bit of metallic dryness, medium to medium-light body, rather thin on the end, but not terribly watery. A bit too much carbonation. Marmalade on English muffins?

Bottle: Nutty and tootsie roll aroma. Pours a dark transparent copper with an off-white head that has a little staying power. Nutty up front with a caramel, tootsie rol, and light bitterness in thel finish. Tastes pretty much the way it smells.

A nice light straw color woth a full head that offers a light floral aroma with a touch of honey. The taste is quite refreshing. Not a bad beer but not anything exciting enough for me to keep it around.

This is one time I’m glad the beer doesn’t taste like the lable says. Very nice beer. Alaskan Amber/Odell’s 90 Schilling are still my favorites but this is an excellent beer. Smooth and drinkable. Good malt and hops, Citrus hint makes this a very tasty beer. I’m very excited in sampling the rest of the variety that Otter Creek/Wolavers has to offer.
