Snoqualmie Falls Copperhead Pale Ale

pours golden amber with a little carbination, and a thin off white head, that does not disapate during drinking. i can smell the hops and the malt not too strong, maybe a little caramel too. nice taste, lightly bitter, medium body, lightly creamy, aftertaste leaves the mouth slightly bitter which is a nice touch. overall a good beer, i’m happy with this one.

22oz bottle acquired in trade with Larry Pitonka (thanks!). Poured a medium and clear golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of citrus, light caramel, and lightly floral. Tastes of citrus, light caramel, and toasted malts. I thought this one had a decent sweet to bitter balance.

Thanks to hopdog for sharing. Pours a lightly cloudy golden orange with a smaller creamy bubbly head head. Aroma of citrus, some grapefruit, floral notes and some bready malts. Flavor of hops, various citrus, light hop bitterness and light grains.

Bottle: Fairly clear gold with a little residue floating around. Light floral hop aroma with hints of pepper. The taste is a bit off - eggs, sulphur, boards. It leaves a weird coating on your tongue . . . not for me. Thanks anyway BuckeyeBoy.

22oz Bottle Pours out a copperhead color. Topped with a white head. Aroma of hop. Not to bad.

Bottle: Clear light orange color with a modest white head. Aroma of citrus and floral hops. Taste is more citrus and fruity with some florals, hints of caramel, and sweet malt. Nice, crisp yet lingering finish. Thanks to Jeremy for sharing.

Draught pint at Redbones on 12/5/2006
Small white head tops a rusty, copper colored beer. Medium-high to high clarity. Retention is average, lacing is light.
Citric and sweaty hops combine in the nose, with toasty, lightly sourish malt notes trailing close behind. Fully passing notes of vanilla sugars and light honey are glimpsed. Candied oranges and lemon zest seem to add too much sour/bitter astringent like character. Medium strength of aroma, no alcohol/flaws noted.
Toasty malt wastes no time in asserting itself, much to the chagrin of the palate which has to cope with lacking amounts of sweet malts and further bittering hops (citrus mainly). Sweaty/hay-like flavors linger on the finish and there is a hard character from the crystal malts. By the end, it’s mostly IBUs and toastiness, fatiguing/boring the palate. Medium to medium-light body, but with a high amount of water/malt ratio. Moderate carbonation, no alcohol. Clean.

22 ounce bottle. The balance of this beer was pretty rediculas. Clear golden. Light grassy and bready aroma. Medium body. Easy to drink.
