Our American Amber Ale is famous for its balanced flavor and impeccable smoothness. Caramelized malts give this beer its sweet flavor and signature copper hue. Bravo hops attribute a slight bitterness to the finish.

Found an ancient bottle in the basement: It still pours a clear coppery amber color with a modest off-white head that slowly reduces and leaves lacing. The nose gets a light malt scent, followed by the mouth getting a nice bitterness over a roasted malt flavor with notes of caramel.

Nice color but indifferent taste. Nothing stands out.

Pour a 12 oz. can of Copper Head Ale into a clear pint glass and discover a truly copper colored liquid. There is ample carbonation, but very little head or glass lacing. Not particularly aromatic, there are some hints of malts and hops therein. The taste is mild, a little bit hoppy and a little bit malty. A slight dry hop finishes the swallow. Drinkable, but rather mediocre, unless this is a favorite style of beer.

Came in a can that listed 5% ABV. A fluffy 2-inch khaki-white head of foam that is quite resilient. Color is a beautiful amber-copper with good clarity. Scent comes across with some sweet maltiness, perhaps carmel with some hoppy notes. Taste is similar, but a bit more bitter throughout. Lingering bitterness remains. Enjoyable throughout!
