COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Ishmael is our richly-flavored American copper ale. This American interpretation of the altbiers of Düsseldorf is brewed with continental Munich malt, American-grown hops, and a clean-fermenting ale yeast to produce a slightly sweet and malty beer balanced by a firm bitterness.

Lukaduke (1017) - Portland, Maine, USA - MAY 11, 2013
Pours a rich copper color with a finger of big bubble fizz. The nose is bready with some rich caramel maltiness and a touch of grassy citrus. The palate follows the nose, rich bready notes, buckwheat honey and a crisp bitterness on the late palate that flows into a slightly chalky finish.

Aroma: Malty, Almond. Appearance: Orangish-Copper Taste: Nice cereal-malty flavour. Palate: Medium bodied Overall: I really enjoy this beer, especially in a time when everyone seems to be gravitating towards hoppy beers. Its nice to see a brewery create an easy drinking pleasant beer.

adamjackson (1229) - Lyme, New Hampshire, USA - DEC 2, 2012
1 finger nice clarity. Hint of amber. Some rye and orange and melons. Taste is high malty. Low IBU. Decent balance and on par for the style. It’s good. Would prefer a bit more fruit. Sort of dry melons and tangerines.

thornecb (3643) - Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - SEP 23, 2012
Pours deep copper-tinged mahogany into a snifter. White pancake head with little retention recedes to mottle surface. Sweet caramel aromas. Medium bodied with sweet roasted nuts, toffee, and caramel front to back. Mild bitter charred resin finish.

MaBeer1972 (1130) - Taunton, Massachusetts, USA - SEP 18, 2011
A slightly peppery medium copper brew. Good carbonation. Lightly sweet malty aromas. Flavor is very malty, on the sweet side, but also quite bready. Slight bitterness on the backside. Very good, but otherwise this could be great if it wasn’t so sweet.
