Not much going on here...... Other than another butter bomb. Diacetyl everywhere..... Light hops with butter, caramel malts with butter! The finish is very buttery! What a surprise!

Light rust and railway spike aroma. Copper pour like the name suggests. Light grain. Light bitterness. Tap at airport Hilton on enforced layover.

This ale poured a crystal clear, amber colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include caramel, perfume and a little maple. First swig was smooth and malty with light hop flavour/bitterness. Flavours of caramel and floral hops most prominent. Finish is lightly bitter with that malt flavour lingering.

Can - Caramel and pale malts. Clear copper with a decent white head. Lots of sweet caramel and not much else. A bit sweet for my tastes.

A hazed amber ale with a thick mocha head. In aroma, a rather grassy malt with light iron notes. In mouth, a rather watery nutty malt with herbal notes, faint hops, astringent notes, so-so. On tap at Arrow and Loon, July 18, 2012.
