A deep copper colored American style ESB (Extra Special Bitter) made with lots of crystal malt and dry hopped for that West Coast "bite". Our ESB yields an earthy, fruity aroma followed by a rich caramel, spicy flavor. The finish is slightly sweet and aromatic

[1] Review by Cybercat from Atlanta, GA, USA who has tried this beer many times. (9/2/2007 4:34:43 PM)
"Color is a rick dark red-brown with no cloudiness. Aroma is faint but has an interesting metallic hint (well, it is called COPPER head, eh?). Flavor is strongly hoppy, plenty of bitterness, with smoky undertones and a soupcon of metallic. This is a good beer to sip with dinner or stimulating conversation."

[2] Review by eaglefan538 from DE, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/15/2007 12:52:49 AM)
"Draft at the Sandy Springs location, poured a copper color with a very nice head and lacing, as good as you can get within this style. The aroma was herbal hops, biscuits, and esters. The flavor followed suit with some citrus notes, toffee, and light caramel also present. Mouthfeel was moderately bodied, on par for the style, and pretty crisp and clean. A nice brew."

[3] Review by aracauna from Adairsville, GA, USA who has tried this beer (1/15/2006 10:21:53 AM)
"This is a deep clear brown with a puffy cream of a light khaki head. There's plenty of caramelly malt in the aroma and tast, but there's not a lot of hop bitterness. Nice fruitiness. With a light hoppy finish that is a little lemon and a little herb. There's a very creamy mouthfeel that makes this a very satisfying beer."

"A darkish red appearance. Very malt aroma. A good balance of malt and hops. This beer contains a great deal of both. Flavor is mainly hops and dark fruit.
