With a rusty orange shade, Iron Spike Copper pours a thick and frothy cream coloured head. To the nose, caramel malts meet toasted spices with additional notes of chestnut and plum. Tastes of sweet caramel and butterscotch hit the palate first, followed by biscuit graininess, fruit, vanilla, rye, and spices. A nice hop bite comes forward mid-palate and lasts on the tongue. This medium to full-bodied ale is creamy and sweet with a lingering hoppy aftertaste.

As titled, pours a nice copper colour with a small head. Sweet caramel on the smell. The taste is also sweet with a hoppy malty background. Mouthfeel seems a bit thin.

Much better than the Blonde.
Rather bland/weak hopping for an American amber. Much more of an English character - malt forward, a bit low in the carbonation.
