Commercial Description:
Copper-colored ale is medium-bodied and highly hopped. Its flavor is delightfully complex: tangy fruit at the start, with an assertive hop crispness and a long malty palate that one well-known beer writer has compared to the flavor of freshly-baked bread.

My favorite domestic beer. This beer has just the right balance between the sweet tasting malt and the hop bite. Just bitter enough to satisfy, but had a sweet pleasant aftertaste, that makes this quite a complex brew. Another great Smuttynose beer.

brown beer smells like caramel. Very refreshing. The finish is very dry. A little bit too hoppy.

Nice Ipa. Very well balanced flavor. Its made with cascade hops, but they are not overpowering. It has a hop crispness to it. Copper colored. I thought it was enjoyable.

New Holland had tons of head, Smuttynose didn’t have as much. Thats ok because Smuttynose is a different style but nonetheless a very very good beer. I’ve had two of this line previously and both were outstanding. This is no exception. Of the English Style this is the 2nd best EPA I’ve had to date.

Not your ordinary pale! Filtered. Deep, rich color, floral nose, zesty hop flavor with a strong lemony bitterness. Very full bodied. Reminiscent of Liberty Ale - it's richer, but not as carbonated. Very good!
