| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 5, 2005 Bottled. Pours copper with a small head. Smells caramelly. Tastes slightly botter with hints of hops on the finish. Great as a session beer at a barbeque. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Sep 8, 2004 Pours deep copper, with aroma of malt, tobacco, and caramel/toffee. Tastes malty, with toffee/caramel at the finish. The finish was also roasty and rauchy to an extent. This one was all over the place. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Mar 30, 2007 From a bottle I got at a local grocery store. This poured with a very very large head. When I popped the cap, it was relatively loud. Even my large tulip glass could not handle all the head. The body is dark copper with a dark khaki body. The aroma is sweet with pancakes and cherries. There is also a little bit of sweat socks. The taste is very dry with hints of nasty pear cores and some bell pepper. There is a weird sweet note through this one. Not too bad.

| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | May 3, 2004 Copper color with a light malty aroma. Taste isn’t sweet or hoppy. This was served just way too warm. Middle of the road would be a compliment. SledgeJr (2968), Omaha, Nebraska, USA
| 1.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 1/10 | 1/5 | 3/20 | Aug 6, 2006 In the bottle from HyVee Council Bluffs. New label and being marketed as simply "Copper Ale" now. Pours a cloudy brown with large floating chunks of debris. A muddy beige foamy head that errupts out of the glass due to excessive over-carbonation. Has an earthy, dirty astringent aroma. The flavor has a strong tartness that is not pleasant. In fact, a vinegar sourness. This beer has turned. Rancid. Down the drain. austinpowers (2828), New York, New York, USA
| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/20 | Jul 16, 2003 Updated: Nov 8, 2003My bottle read "Ramapo Valley Copper Ale" (apparently they just started bottling their beers). Anyway, like the four other Ramapo beers I tried, there's virtually no head and little carbonation. Guys, you need to work on quality control! Other than that, this is probably an unorthodox brown ale with a hint of sourness. The body is fairly malty and sweet. But something's just not right here! As of 11/03, I've learned that the bottled version of this beer has been recalled. Suttree (2740), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Mar 7, 2005 Very Nice spicy/sweet/nutty aroma. Nicely smooth, and toasty, flavor. Has a decent hop "pop" at the finish. Thanks to Lou18 for the trade! notalush (2682), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 18, 2003 [bottled - "Ramapo Valley Copper Ale"] I guess their second attempt at bottling their beers came out better, because this is a pretty decent beer - dark copper with a moderate head and medium carbonation - a little thin bodied, but the flavor is a pretty good mix of nuts and chocolate - mild hop finish - a touch of sweetness - nothing awe-inspiring, but quite drinkable.
