Initially a vibrant floral and herbal hop aroma hits the nose above a subtle background of earthy caramel malts. The flavor does a reversal though, with a nice full rounded palate featuring burnt caramel malt, mild earthiness and a hint of smoke with floral hops skirting the edges. Finish is balanced. A very "down to earth" beer and highly similar to the Free State Copperhead Ale.

Deep amber with a thick off white head. Very smooth hops aroma....i mena very smooth. Everything with grace in the resinous overlays. Good attack of malts followed by restrained hops going all the way to post taste. Balance is the key word here...a good offering from René!
