Pumphouse Four Alarm Copper Ale

From the Jug at the Pumphouse Brewery & Restaurant, Longmont 08/10/2008 Some hop aroma. White head. Golden coloured and fruity with a crisp and slightly bitter malt finish.

Crushed with Jakebra at the brewpub. Very boozy. Interesting flavor, like alts generall do. The bourbon really shows through. Lots of bready malts in the finish kills the flavor. Still aight.

This beer is light colored, sweet and malty smelling. It tastes grassy, with a bit of wheat, malty, maybe a bit of caramel. Good, not great.

Tap @ Pumphouse: Poured a copper color with an off-white head. Odd citrus smell almost like their other wheat beers. Same yeast maybe? I don’t know. Citrusy flavor with some toasty caramel malt. Mild bitterness on the finish. Light body.

tap. copper pour. nice clarity and lacing. malt and hop aroma. a little more floral hop than a typical amber. creamy mouth. wheaty, caramel malts and lemon. a little thin.
