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.

A decent brew but has a bit of a watered down taste, but not nearly as dilluted as traditional American beer.

[bottle] Sweet, hoppy aroma. Clear orange color, with a minimal head. Nice earthy malt flavors, with some slight fruit and bright, grassy hops towards the end.

I love this brewery. A Pale Ale that was deep copper with a great hop nose with even a bit of toffee tossed in. A very tasty brew that was better that a shit load of IPA’s. Very nice brew indeed.

Not a very strong aroma, some yeast notes in there. A cloudy dark amber with a small head. This beer has a very thin, but strong nose that is biting. Then it turns into a subtle malt flavor. Its weird, but I guess it works. This is a very contemplative beer, not something that I’d like to enjoy by the fireside, or drink by the case, but something to save for a rainy day.

This beer came to me in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a ruby-caramel color with a medium sized yellow-tan head. The aroma is nutty malts and floral hops. The flavor is vague bitter fruity hops with a bit of nutty malts and a tangy finish. The beer is lacking in sufficient malt body and comes off as being a little thin.

A yeasty hoppy aroma from a heady pour into a mass of orange amber. Very nice medium bodied pale ale with pleasant bitterness that invites you to have another.

Coppery clear body. Creamy off-white head. Aroma is caramelly sugary malt with some hops thrown on top. Kind of basic. Flavor is a bit of the same but with some added light alfalfa. Okay beer, but no uniquness.
