Description: 

Baseball and beer. Few things are more ingrained in America's psyche than baseball and beer. The histories of both are laden with traditions and transcendence. Rascals and radicals. Celebration and shared experience. Treasured summertime moments with sun on our faces and a beer in our hands. The timeless game defines our past and guides our future.

Lightly golden-straw hue with a lasting thick, white head. Aromas of sweet malt, floral with slight citrus are followed by delicate herbal notes. Faintly sweet giving way to mellow, lightly floral hop flavor and notes of banana and pears from our signature house yeast. Nicely balanced with a clean herbal-hopped finish makes this an enjoyably, quaffable ale. (Description provided by company)

A cloudy pale amber with a full finger or so of a fine bubbly head. The head comes on pretty quickly in the pour and dissipates slowly.

A crisp and light malt nose, with a touch of light floral hoppiness. Very refreshing.

The flavors are similar to the nose, with a strong malt backbone and light hop flavors with a moderately low bitterness. A hint of some sweet and fruity ester flavors as well.

Unique. About a half to a full finger of the head sticks around, which gives a creamy texture which contrasts nicely to the medium light body and moderately high carbonation.

Some nice flavors and aroma along with a very unique and appealing body make the Ommegang Cooperstown Ale a great summer time beer.
