This dry and hoppy copper ale is packed full of our favorite Northwestern Hops from Perrault Farms (over 2lbs per barrel!), and copper-fied it with some dark crystal malts to make this tropical, earthy, and stoopidly slammable ale.

On Tap at Whole Foods, Boise Clear chestnut color with a creamy full light tan head. Big fresh citrusy hop aroma and a bittery hoppy flavor. Barley a malt profile, more like an IPA with a little chocolate malt added. Bold and tasty.
