Notes:
Who needs precious metals, when you’ve got Copper?! This copper colored ale is a real crowd-pleaser. Copperhook strikes the perfect balance of smooth, rich, malty flavor you’d expect from a craft brew with a lighter body and hop profile that makes it a perfect “session” beer when you’ve got a long day ahead of knocking back a few with your buddies.

First off I hate the new bottles. Sorry. Pours a pale yellow with a low white head despite a vigorous pour. The head settles out quickly and just about disappears. Low aroma of honey and lemon. Light flavor of doughey malt, some biscuit and honey sweetness. Notes of corn, some floral hops and a peppery spice finish. Mild bitterness. Even mouthfeel, a bit thin. Lacking in complexity.

Palest amber with creamy parchment head that fades but rims and speckles.
Flinty grain, autumn leaf and faint orange peel and flower blossom nose.
Raspberry jam on granary toast up front with perfumed orange rind.
Apricot chutney ending and spicy woody linger.
Light, sticky, crisp.

Thin but clean and refreshing. Stubby bottle helps a vigorous pour that makes the head look good - no accident, I suspect. Hops are very EKG - if this were -1% ABV, it'd line up as a killer best bitter. As it is, too light in both body and color for the strength, though still very moreish.
