On tap at the brewpub. Comes to the table a hazy gold with a small white head that leaves lots of lace. Nice sweet caramel and light fruit with aromas of resinous pine and grapefruit pith. The flavor is sweet caramel, light fruits and a touch of diacytyl. Before the resinous citrus pith onslaught commences. Its a touch bitter at times. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet resinous mouthfeel. English American IPA hybrid that does neither very well.

On tap at the brewpub. Comes to the table a lightly hazy gold with a smallish white head that persists. Nice sweet bready pilsner malt nose with a hint of honey and floral spicy hops. The flavor is a touch on the sweet side with an almost under attenuated quality to it. Sweet honey caramel and pilsner malt with a touch of spicy hop and a hint of diacytyl. Light to medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a sweet bubbly mouthfeel. Its a touch sweet, but I could get behind a few of these.

Location: 22 oz bottle from Oak Tree (CT), 8/2/13
Aroma: The aroma is sweet for the style, with caramel/fruit, some booze, and some pine/fruit hop
Appearance: It pours a dark orange color with a huge (2 + fingers) foam of frothy beige head
Flavor: The taste is plus sweet, and mid-plus bitter, but the sweetness just makes it feel off-style
Palate: The body is medium-full, it is sticky, with lively carbonation, finishes dry and a touch hot
Overall Impression: This one wasn't a favorite for me. The hop presence is really just not that exciting, and there's too much sweetness. It's a fine beer, but it its toward the bottom of the style for me.

Sample at the brewpub (spelled "Steam Boch" on the board). The beer pours a clear dark amber color with a medium off-white head that dissipates steadily. Partial rings of lacing on the glass. Aroma of roasted malt and hops. Light to medium body with flavors of grainy malt, grassy hops and ripe fruit. The finish is sweet with an earthy malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 7.5
Sample at the brewpub (with "Not too" in front of it). Dark brown pour with a medium tan head that diminishes steadily to a film. Small patches of lacing on the glass. Aroma of chocolate, roasted malt and slight hops. Light-bodied with flavors of burnt malt, chocolate and grassy hops. The finish is sweet with a chocolate malt aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at the brewpub. Clear pale orange color with a medium bone white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing on the glass. Citrus, hops and malt in the nose. Light-bodied with flavors of hops, zesty citrus and sweet malt. The finish is hoppy with a grapefruit aftertaste. Decent overall.

Sample at the brewpub. Clear copper-orange color with a medium off-white head that recedes steadily. Stringy lacing. Aroma of hops, citrus and roast malt. Medium-bodied with flavors of citrusy hops, toasted malt and a bit of pine. The finish is moderately bitter with a hoppy aftertaste. Decent overall.
Dogbrick (24152) reviewed Copper Hill Kolsch from The Cambridge House 12 years ago
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 4 | Texture - 4 | Overall - 5
Sample at the brewpub. Pours a clear straw color with a thin and fizzy white head that evaporates quickly to a film. Spotty lacing on the glass. Aroma of grassy hops and malt. Light body with flavors of mildly bitter hops, biscuit malt and a solvent-like taste in the background. The finish is lightly bitter with a metallic hops aftertaste. Something off about this one.

Pours pale yellow into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Caramel and resin aromas. Dry with sweet caramel and sourdough upfront turning to grapefruit in the lasting pith finish.

really surprised i havent rated this before, and even more surprising is the flavor behind this beer. honestly, pours like a macro american adjunct lager, but the taste is nothing like it at all. extremely full bodied for a kolsch, hints of floral and hop notes with a fresh bread-like maltiness that both satisfies and keeps you wanting more. delicious on a hot summer night in Granby.
