Location: Sampled at Tap NY, 4/27/13, Rater #100 of this beer!

Aroma: The nose is fairly light, some sweet malts, a bit of fruit, and some mild hops too
Appearance: It pours a clear golden-orange color with a decent sized white head
Flavor: The taste is on the lighter side, it is a little sweet, mildly bitter, and fairly dull
Palate: The body of this beer is light and it has a fairly unexciting mouthfeel to it as well
Overall Impression: I wasn’t super impressed by this Cooperstown beer either. It isn’t a terrible beer, but it is hardly memorable. Eh...

Bottle. Bottle was a huge gusher, spilling a quarter to a third of the bottle before I could get it into a glass. Finally pours a very hazed amber with a big fuzzy white head that eventually deflates. Smells horribly infected, big paper and old nastiness. Medium bodied, a touch lactic, infected and sweet. More old paper. Just bad.

Very lite aroma that is a little like canned peaches. Flavors ok starts out malty with a good bit of carbonation a finishes with malts and the hops push throw.

UPDATED: NOV 17, 2012 Picked up on a visit to the brewery while on vacation in the Cooperstown area. Heavy on the carbonation, like opening a champagne bottle. Be ready with a glass! Drinkable ale, but nothing spectacular. Pretty average.

My wife brought this one back from a trip to Rochester. Pretty tasty for style. +++ Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer gushed a murky apricot color with a large foamy yellow-tan head that faded quickly and left no lacing. The aroma was bread and candied golden fruits. The flavor was bread, honey and candied golden fruits. The beer turned a moderately dry and dusty on the long finish. Very overcarbonated which distracted from what was otherwise an enjoyable beer.

Bottle- Pours a nice golden color with a decent head with bits of lacing. Mild aroma of malt sweetness, citrus and fresh grain. Flavor is a mild caramel sweetness, bit of citrus and fresh grain. There is a nice mild bitterness and the finish is quite dry. Light body, smooth with an intangible character. Easy drinker. Good session beer.

Tap @ the Brewery, Cooperstown, NY. Served in taster glass. Also had in a 12 oz bottle from the brewery. Light thin white head, no lace to speak of. Nose is light bread malt, not much else. Taste is really bland. Buttered biscuit with a touch of wheat. This was my least favorite of all the Cooperstown brews. Weak but that really is what I expect from this style.

12 ounce bottle. Nice yellow color with a decent white head. Crisp, refreshing and drinkable.

Draught sample at the brewery. Pours very hazy yellow gold with a moderate white head. The aroma is mild malt with citrus and floral notes. The flavor is mild caramel with followed by some mild-moderate hops bitterness. This would be a good choice for quenching a thirst after doing some yard work. No problems.

Cloudy golden color with a small white head. Light fruity aroma with grass and some spice. Pretty light aroma. Flavor is mainly caramel with some floral aspects and some grassiness. Fairly watery, and light on the tongue. Solid beer that one could drink many of in an evening.
