COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Cooper's Cave Ale Company's flagship ale is an Irish Red Ale. Three English Malts and one Belgian Munich Malt make up the grain bill. It is a full bodied Red Ale packed with flavor, blended with American Nugget hops for bitterness and East Kent Golding for flavor and aroma. This ale has turned the heads of many "dyed in the wool" American lager drinkers. OSG 1.054 - IBU 35

Amber pour with hints of yeast and hop. Sweet caramel malts and no strong charecteristics seem to be a re occuring theme with this brewery. They don’t make any horrible beers, but they don’t make anything outstanding either.

deyholla (8606) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - MAY 1, 2011
Sampled from the tap at the brewpub. Poured a clear red with orange hue and a light brown head that dissipated slowly to the edges. Aroma was very sweet with caramel, sweet grains, butterscotch and chemicals. Flavor was similar overpowering butterscotch and chemicals, offensive.

22 oz. bottle. Pours a hazy amber with a thin-moderate off-white head that lasted through the first two sips and left scant lace. Mild aroma of malt and not much else. The flavor is somewhat weak malt that is at the same time a bit harsh. Mild bitterness at the finish. Light-medium bodied. It frankly amazes me that this brewer is able to stay in business given the body of work I have consumed. At "3", this is the highest I have rated one of their beers and the only one that I have bothered to finish the bottle.

Cletus (6355) - Connecticut, USA - JAN 11, 2009
Bomber. Pours reddish brown with a thin pinkish head. Smells of sweet malt and band aids. Tastes bitter and caramelly with lots of infectedness,

Slipstream (2255) - USA - OCT 23, 2007
UPDATED: APR 29, 2008 Yeasty, spicey aroma, with the musk of old cellars. Dark copper color with a light head. Full flavor and good on the palate, but pretty nasty going down - taste of peat and dirty socks, with rough hops in the finish. A little local brew that appears to need some improvement. I would like to give them another try - the bottle I had may have been stale or contaminated.

dirtymike (2016) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - JUN 12, 2004
Light amber haze in color with ruby highlights and a small off-white head. Spicy,fruity, pine tree aroma. Flavor is upfront bitterness,tangy malt and spicy hops.

Volgon (2763) - Manchester, New Hampshire, USA - JUN 7, 2004
Cloudy orange with ruby notes, small bubbled thin white head. Huge sweet attack in the nose (oranges) and in the flavor. Intersting, but way too sweet.

Had this one on draught in Lake George, New York. Fairly good red, quite hoppy, had an sour off note I couldn’t quite place. Otherwise, not too bad.
