Poured a rich copper with a thick pale head, good retention that clung nicely to the glass.
Smelled mostly of hops and caramel malts.
A little creamy in the mouth with a light hoppy taste, great taste.
A well balanced ale, goes down smooth; very drinkable.

Jul 8, 2008 12oz bottle pours a clear, effervescent, copper amber with a sudsy white head. Mild nose has aromas of cracker and biscuit, some metal, some citrus, and cookie dough. Flavor repeats many thing from the nose, crackers, biscuits, cookie dough with some added sweetness or toffee and something that strikes me as mineraly. Finish is slightly buttery which is nice. Pretty good, but also pretty standard.

does not count  Jul 7, 2008 When first poured, this beer shows promise. As the name suggest it looks coppery, bright, and metallic, so clear, in fact, that I can actually make out the reflections of objects in the room where I am drinking it. Appearance is far and away this beer’s best attribute. At colder temperatures the nose has strong citrus notes, lemon and grapefruit. As the beer warms, alcohol and honey and copper emerge as the dominant smells. The flavor is weak and undefined, hops and malt both fight to lead, but neither flavor has the strength to stand out. It’s a great beer to start out a night of tasting with, because it’s complex enough to stimulate your palate, but it leaves plenty of opportunities for other beers to shine.

Jul 4, 2008 Didn’t dig this one. Way to malty. Not balanced. Tasted like vanilla extract.

Jul 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours copper of course with an off-white head. Looks good aroma is good with malt, caramel, toffee and some hops. Unfortunatly this beer when down him from there. Flavor is metalic with faint hints of caramel malts, toffee, raisans and some malasses. Needs a nice dose of hops. Maybe this is an old bottle but ratings dont reflect that.

Jul 3, 2008 12 oz bottle. Really can’t come up with a word for the aroma. Small-ish head, good amount of carbonation, pretty balanced body, good mouthfeel and lasting finish. Pretty good beer in every aspect, except for the fact that the aroma escapes my vocabulary! Must try again.
