Name: Cotter Creek Copper Ale
Brewer: Otter Creek Brewing (Middleberry, VT)
Classification: Altbier
Alcohol: 5.4%
Thoughts: No real special story to start off this post. It was from a brewery I have never heard of before and I am a sucker for a good copper ale. So I decided to try it and see what came of it. The pour lives up to it's name. As you can see in the picture this is a picture perfect copper color and the head seems to have a light shade of copper in it as well. The smell has a subtle sweetness, but it doesn't really add much to the experience. The flavor of this beer was odd. There was caramel, toasted hops and tartness in the there, but it had a sour metallic aftertaste. I don't know if this was from the beer or from the bottle. But it was unpleasant. It had a good feel to it and was medium-bodied. Copper ales aren't really exciting beers, but this one was exciting even for a copper ale. Hopefully the beers I have coming up will have a little more enthusiasm for being a beer. This beer didn't seem to want to be drunk, digested and urinated out. How dare he!
Rating: 76/100
