On to the review!
Our candidate tonight is Blue Point Brewing Company's Spring Fling Ale.
It is labeled as a copper ale and that is a pretty apt descriptor of the beer. It poured a clear copper color, with a decent head that dissipated fairly quickly. On the drink it had some hop bite that carries through and good carbonation but all that yields to a copper aftertaste. Similar to sucking on a penny. That coppery aftertaste disappeared quickly though leaving a slight dryness in the mouth.
This is a smooth drinker, with enough character to see you through a night or sharing with friends but not really noteworthy. It comes in at 6% ABV so there is a little attitude to it for a spring seasonal. I put forth that it is worth picking up and trying at least once but I don't know if I will be making a return trip.
