Better than stealing $200,000 dollars and disappearing to the tropics the D.B. Cooper Copper brings mixture of toasted grain & light caramel notes with a range of floral, citrus and herbal hop notes all capped by a clean bitterness. D.B. is of course copper in color and clear, but because it is only lightly filtered there may be a bit of haze. Rounding out the appearance she has a great head stand with a frothy tan persistent head. Hop flavor is balanced with the malty caramel notes, and shows some citrus and floral notes.

At Home Break out the BBQ and match this up with a nice cut of beef. History Introduced in 2008 during pilot brewing. Why D.B. Cooper Copper? Here is why: D. B. Cooper is a an unidentified man who hijacked a Boeing 727 aircraft in the airspace between Portland, Oregon, and Seattle, Washington, on November 24, 1971, extorted $200,000 in ransom, and then parachuted to an uncertain fate. Despite an extensive manhunt and an ongoing FBI investigation, the perpetrator has never been located or positively identified. The case remains the only unsolved air piracy in American aviation history. The suspect purchased his airline ticket using the alias Dan Cooper, but due to a news media miscommunication he became known in popular lore as "D. B. Cooper". Hundreds of leads have been pursued in the ensuing years, but no conclusive evidence has ever surfaced regarding Cooper's true identity or whereabouts. Numerous theories of widely varying plausibility have been proposed by experts, reporters, and amateur enthusiasts. The discovery of a small cache of ransom bills in 1980 triggered renewed interest but ultimately only deepened the mystery, and the great majority of the ransom remains unrecovered.
