Picked up a couple bombers of this one-off when swinging by the brewpub coming out of Crater Lake.
Nice, semi-furious effervesce and solidly-retained, frothed-milk head when poured into my Junkyard Brewing snifter.
A little stickier, more heavy-saccharine nose than I expect, given that this is nominally a copper; indeed, it has the burnished, brassy color, but aroma- and flavor-wise it leans decidedly more Does release some nice earthy, wet-leaf and damp-nettles aromatic notes, but they're pretty bound up in the sugary malt-matrix. And I think I feel the same way about Cross Current's flavors: lots of, to borrow a phrase, cross-currents of sticky-red and darker charred-caramel malts, which are luckily underlied by some spicier hop notes—green peppercorn, aloe, wild sage—that establish first herbal, then bitter, finishing tones.
Sits pretty pleasant on the palate—if a bit sticky, which seems to be the substance of my principal, very mild objection to this beer—but overall it's a solid hoppy, lighter-viscosity red ale.
