I really loved this beer. When I was in Athens, I tried it at the Classic City Brew fest, then had a few more pints of it at the brewpub afterward. Instead of the boring, bland, thin light brown ale that most breweries seem to want to pass off as alts, Copper Creek brewed a clean, crisp ale with a very noticeable hop bite. Quite drinkable and quite tasty.
