look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4.5

Purchased a six pack from Martignetti's

Appearance = clear, shinny amber, thin head that fades to a layer of white film. Lots of bubbles rising up to the top. Looks refreshing and full of energy.

Smell = good smell of malty yeast mixed with a strong smell of bananna bread or other fresh baked goods.

Taste = Solid, strong taste of malt with hops to nicely balance it out. Lots of flavors and complexity here. Mouthfeel is a little thin and flat but it's not bad. Great drinkability..I could have several of these in a sitting. Taste is more bready and malty at first but the hops come in later to provide a good tangy aftertaste.

Overall = Solid offering from Otter Creek. Lots of flavor and complexity. Recommended.

A- Otter Copper pours slightly hazey, -but beautiful- golden-amber. The head is ample and fluffy. Lacing is good. This beer is great to look at.

S- The nose is caramel and malts.

T- A little caramel and malts is outshined by the metallic taste.

M- Low carbonation and light tongue weight pretty much sum up this beer.

Overall, this brew takes great pictures. It's great to look at, but, less rewarding to drink. It IS a good beer- I just don't love it. I'd drink it again- there just isn't anything distinguished or noteable about it.

Nice amber / copper color with decent head and mild to moderate carbonation. Mild fruity and caramel aroma. Bitter metallic and candy notes with a hint of caramel nuttiness and sweet alcohol in the background. It kind of falls flat a bit. Finishes with a bit more alcohol and floral notes.
