Commercial Description:
This hoppy, copper-colored ale is brewed with four malt varieties and five hop varieties. Ten pounds of hops are used, with five of these in the finish - bringing out beautiful hop flavor and aroma.

Flavor is moderately sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, lightly to moderately bitter. Finish is lightly sweet, lightly to moderately acidic, moderately bitter. Medium body, watery/velvety texture, lively carbonation. Decent.

Draft. Burnt copper with a frothy ivory head. Very faint, malt aroma with some nutty notes. Fruity and somewhat bitter. Pretty well hopped (bittering) but way too sweet. Sweet finish.

I’m almost 60 years old and this was the worst beer I’ve ever tasted. I can’t beleive they served it. It was so bad, I had to drink a pint of water to get the taste out of my mouth. It tasted like biting into a chunk of alum. All hops with a touch of barley.
