A copper colored ale, just like the name indicates. Head is off white, and consists of a generous pile of rocky foam. The aroma is sweet caramel notes, some cereal grains, and some spicy hop hints. Mouthfeel is full bodied, creamy. Flavour is slightly sweet with roasted malt character and finishes with a bitter kick.

Mild nose mostly carmel malts with a hint of spicy hops. Clear copper body is topped with a minimal, short lived head that leaves a tiny lace, the carbonation seems almost soda fizzy up the sides of the glass but does not seem to produce any additional head. Mouth is thin, watery and a touch flat in terms of carbonation. Taste is better then it looks. Lots of really nice malt, slightly sweet with hints of coffee and carmel and a touch of smoke, almost a light Rauchbier flavor. Minimal hop flavor balances the sweetness nicely with a bright high note in mid taste and their is a touch of grass towards the end and a slightly butter and vanilla finish. This is VERY drinkable, I wish the appearance was better attended to and the fizzy quality was dealt with.

Inviting aroma is mainly malty with a strongly yeasty overtone and a firm ribbon of peanut running through it. Pours a nice clear amber with a white head that is thick if not persistent. Taste is a bit wan - malty with an undertone of peanut, and tasty if not outstanding. Texture is fairly smooth and a little tingly, but nothing to write home about. Overall, not too shabby.

A murky copper body with a thin head. Aroma and flavors of cider vinegar, a slight fruity hop presence, and some malts. Mouthfeel was crisp, and dry. Overall it was o.k. but i didnt care for the vinegar presence.

an altbier! fuck ja!..a nice surprise, damn duff.. ..my saturday is getting better and better.. not an awfully complex beer and a tad confusing but very easy to drink.. the label needs to indicate this as an altbier, sales might improve... if you dig abit, there are some nice flavours, a good intro beer for a beginner craft beer person ..

Beginning with an attractive copper (duh!) colour beneath a head that really wasn't, the aroma gave up a delightful mix of hops and malt. Taste - well, I just flat out like it a lot, being rather like an amber ale with some hoppy bitterness to finish. Good, solid mouthfeel, too. Purchased on a whim in Astoria, Oregon. A fine, fine beer.

Poured a whiskey coulored copper with visable carbonation. Good lacing on the side of the glass with legs. The aroma and taste was of malt with hints of fruit and chocolate. Not a bad beer. I think it would drink better in cooler autum weather. Overall quite drinkable.

This one pours into the glass with a bright golden-amber body. A bigh white head settles rather quickly into a thin filmy halo around the beer. The aroma is definitely hoppy with a bitter accent. In fact the hops overwhelm in aroma and taste. I’d like this one if it had more balance from the mash.

From the bottle. Pours a crystal clear copper with a white head. Aroma is light and malty. Flavor is sweet, and very clean. Smooth mouthfeel. An okay beer, but not my kind of beer.
