Commercial Description:
Our Copperhead Ale is a copper colored German-style Altbier, with a light, malty sweetness and a pronounced hop flavor. Alt is the German word for old, referring to the older style of ale brewing. Altbier is Germany's pale ale. Copperhead Ale is top-fermented, making it an ale and it has a medium body. It has hints of maltiness and hoppiness in its aroma, with a definite hop flavor and a medium hop bitterness. Altbier is predominately brewed in the northern part of Germany, especially Dusseldorf and gets its "sweet roast" flavor and copper color from caramunich malts.

pours out a beautiful copper color. I thought this was going to be an amber, but i was wrong. Aroma was ok. was kind of bready with a mix of hops to it. flavor was similar. This was a fair beer and was rather refreshing.

Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is pretty sweet with mostly caramel malts. Slight citrus hop and bready aroma as well. Flavor isn’t very strong. What’s there is caramel malts, earthiness, and a hint of hops but not much.

Bottle courtesy of beachbum25. Pours copper with a white head. Smells of perfumy roses and earthy. Tastes of sweet caramel and slightly tarte.

Pours a beautiful clear light coppery color with a medium sized white head.  Aroma of bitter hops with a hint of grapefruit.  Taste is bitter with hops present and hints of faint citrus.

Not much aroma, appearance is light, but flavor is ok, pleasent on the palate. I had this one at Where Pigs Fly in Dover De. I choose it over Coors, the only other choice on the menu was Bud which I avoid like the plague. This brew went fine with the slab of ribs at this nice Dover eatery. Next time I eat there I’ll order it again, inless the put a new beer on the menu.

Served at a concert. Not the best nor the worse beer ive had at such a venue. Light brown pour with a pretty thick white head. Nothing to say that this beer sticks out from any other..
