Rooted in the battlefield of Lundy’s Lane, the Copper Beech tree at Drummond Hill Cemetery was a living memorial to freedom. Our Brewmaster taps into that same reverence to bestow daring to this fearless red ale.

Strong malt body with some caramel notes, finishes a little bitter.

This red poured a hazy, deep orange colour with a creamy, off white head. Nice lacing. Scents include biscuit, metal, malt, caramel and light toast. First swig was ok, slightly sharp initially with flavours of tea, caramel and metal. Finish was malty but a little thin with metal flavourings lingering.

Clean amber-copper colour with golden highlights, a light-beige head with an average stay and a fizzy, thin cap in the middle of the brew, from tiny bubble, livid carbonation. Toasted aromas with some nuttiness, caramel and malty-hay notes. The mouthfeel has a decent building, light dryness. The caramel malt is a base here in the flavours with a tad grassy-apple finish. Not a bad Red Ale, but lacking a little punch all-around.

Nutty, toffee malt, and hay aroma. Very dark copper with moderate tan head aroma. Moderately sweet nutty toffee malt, and mildly bitter hay/grass flavor. Nice body. Great beer.
