Nephilium (448), Ohio, USA Jul 17, 2008 Nice sharp hop aroma when the bottle is opened. Pours a clear reddish-amber, with a quickly fading white head. Fairly grassy hop notes tied in with caramel malts. Nice middle of the road beer.
jrob21 (915), Atlanta, Georgia, USA Nov 30, 2008 Bottle back from Nashville. Pours a clear copper color with an aroma of caramel malt and nice floral hops. Caramel comes through to the flavor. The only hops you get though are on the finish with a grapefruit citrus and lasting metallic flavor. mwelsh13 (231), Maryland, USA Oct 19, 2008 MEdium copper color poured with a fluffy white head. Grassy aroma and bitterness. Medium malt backbone. Middle of the road pale ale. drfabulous (803), Columbia, Missouri, USA Oct 16, 2008 Lots of bitter. Hops. Most of the ingredients of a fairly basic APA. Nothing stands out good or bad. Probably the best beer I had on tap at the pub in Louisville. But BBC is more like our local Flat Branch in quality. Right down the middle of average. cheapdark (1655), Monacatootha, Pennsylvania, USA Sep 20, 2008 Clear orangey brown color. Sparkles nicely. tea froth head. Olfactory hoppy pine. Hoppy bitter initial impression and obnoxious at times. Borders on IPA territory. Bitter back throat linger gets more intense as session continues. Oily at times. Rude awakening, you forget this stuff quickly after a bottle, will not purchase again. Too much for this lager lover. bsm80 (105), Massapequa, New York, USA Sep 7, 2008 Bottle in Kentucky, orange copper had a malty odor but was quite balanced, another decent simple brew from BBC...I have also only tried the altbier from them but they have a few others just don’t see it too much up here in NY
