Pours a copper with small white fizzy head. Not getting a lot on the nose. tastes a little caramel and bread. Slightly syrupy but easy drinking enough, not enough flavor to buy again, but i do have a six pack finish.

Location: 6 pack of 12 oz bottles from a Morton Williams in NYC

Aroma: Citrus, caramel, grains
Appearance: Copper, clear, thin white head
Flavor: Grainy sweetness, a little caramel (stronger in the nose then the taste) and a citrus finish
Palate: Medium (tending toward light) body, nice smooth drink
Overall Impression: Overall this is a decent springtime beer (though it was pretty cold in NYC last week). I guess its grouped as a specialty grain due to the rye taste, but otherwise I thought the labeling of copper ale was pretty accurate. Nice offering, will save a few for warmer days, and see how they do in that environment.

On tap at the Mad Mex in Robinson. Nice and bubbly sparkling pale lager appearance. Not much detectable aroma. No bad olfactory on the nose. Interesting mild hop and new leather tastes. Barely any carbonation. Has a pleasant saison attitude about it. Decent well mannered finish, overall not bad!

12oz bottle. Filtered amber-copper color. Nice head that fades away after a minute or two. I have no idea why this beer is listed as a specialty grain on RB. Pretty solid beer, relatively in the middle of the road flavor-wise. Some crisp hops completely balanced out by the toasty malt. Mouthfeel is almost too big for its britches, if you will. A little too heavy and thick, a rare criticism. Still has some nice caramel tones and hits the mark for the Copper Ale style, the semi undefined style that is.

Taster at brewpub. Orange/copper color, clear beer. A sweet nutty maltiness, some light floral hoppiness. Taste is mineral with light citrus fruit and lightly malty. Easy drinking and thirst quenching. A very nice mix of nutty lager and a lightly hopped American ale. I would say this is a Vienna/APA mix. Definitely returnable and recommended.7/3/6/3/14

Re-rate from growler: very different brew the 2nd time around. Still the same color but has a beautiful large head. Aroma has gone all the way hoppy and looses and of the lagered maltiness and nuttiness it had before. Aroma is all hops with light citrus, light pine and light sweet hops. Taste is similar and finishes with light bitterness and extremely easy drinking. A definite improvement.7/4/7/3/15

This year’s version is not the beer I had last year - I don’t remember rye being present, and now it’s the dominant flavor in the beer - much fuller body on this one, too - it’s a little bit sweet, but the rye and hop bitterness do a decent job og making it tolerable - not bad - //////// I’ve had several pints of this at this point, both from the tap and out of a growler, and I still can’t exactly pinpoint the style (the folks pulling the taps at the brewery didn’t really know) - all I can tell is that it is a dark-colored lager, so "american dark lager" it is - of course, this does not speak well for the beer - it lacks any distinct, defining characteristics - dark copper with minimal head, despite a fizzy body - lighty bready aroma, with hints of toasted grain and very faint whiffs of malt - light-bodied, with a moderate, spicy hop profile - buttery qualities mix fairly well with a slight nuttiness - the background offers faint hints of bock-ish malt flavors - this beer really isn’t sure what it wants to be when it grows up; all it knows is it wants you to drink it, and that’s okay with me - it’s a nice, quaffable spring beer, regardless of its lack of character.
