Commercial Description:
Copper-colored ale is medium-bodied and highly hopped. Its flavor is delightfully complex: tangy fruit at the start, with an assertive hop crispness and a long malty palate that one well-known beer writer has compared to the flavor of freshly-baked bread.

Amber pour with thin off white head. Aroma of hops and malt. Taste of hops and some maple nutty flavor. Great hoppy finish, thick for a pale.

Pale Amber Color with White Head. Subtle Musty Malt Aroma. Well Carbonated Malty Body. Subtle Sweet and Dry Malt. Balanced With Low-Keyed Hops... Dry, Sweet and Refreshing.

Firm hops, almost pushing it into IPA territory. Nice malt sweetness with a tiny hint of maple syrup.

I’d agre that this is a nicely balanced beer. Almost as hoppy as a ipa though. Has an almost musty aroma that is lovely. somewhat refreshing although your not gonna want to chug this one.

Orange/amber with a white head. Aroma of pine and sweet malt. Flavor is full and malty, with a spicy hop finish. Solid and enjoyable.

Light amber color. Smooth, hoppy bitter aftertaste but not in a bad way. Refreshing and well balanced. An ok beer.

Bottle. Caramel brown color. No head. Hoppy with hints of spices. Tastes very similarly, esp with pepper note.

Poure a darker golden color with good head and great lacing. Aroma was very sharp hops. Flavor was unbalanced at best, tasted like i was chewing on an orange rind with some pine on it. Needed some malts to balance out the hops.
