Draught @ Headkeeper: This one pours a crystal clear, golden color. There was just a wisp of a white head on it. There was no lacing. The nose is lighter yet nice. Grassy and earthy hops, some malts. The taste is good. It is slightly bitter and dry. Earthy hops, some malts in background. Pretty good!

Pours a clear pale amber producing 3 fingers of off-white, frothy somewhat lasting head that leaves a thick ring with strings of lace. Aroma is biscuit, mildly toasted white bread with hints of butter, nuts, caramel, fruit, floral and grass. Taste is similar to the nose but sweeter with much more hop character than expected from the nose: honey and brown sugar joins the caramel on the sweet side with floral/herbal, citrus and resinous hops in the bitterness profile. Finishes a little dry, peppery and bittersweet which develops into a leafy, dark tea like bitterness in the aftertaste. Mouthfeel is medium bodied, silky, smooth and a little chewy with a moderate to high carbonation bite.

Pours a clear copper with 1/2 finger head with decent retention. Smells mildy hoppy and malty. Tastes earthy, malty, and bitter. Good mouthfeel. Feels bland overall.

Look- The ale poured an awesome darker red brown copper with no haze detectable. Looked like a great copper/amber ale.
Smell- Like they said, it is a hoppy copper ale, so nothing too suprising; you get a deep smell of malts and that hint of citrus hops at the end.
Taste- has a bit of that biscut character supplimented with sweet malt flavor. The hops taste of a subdued citrus and leaving just a hint of bitterness in your mouth. As it got warmer a hint of spicyness came out at the end.
Feel- It feels like a medium bodied and medium carbonated ale. very nice, not too thin not too thick.
Overall- This was a great buy, would easliy drink this ale any day. The hoppy flavor of this ale makes it stand out against other copper ales that I have had before. I have been on a IPA binge lately and this ale really hit the spot with it's sweet malt character and slight bitter bite of hops at the end.
