Enjoyed At: McMenamins Kennedy School
Serving Type: Poured from a tap, served in a 4oz. sampler glass
Lightly pink body with a hint of foam at the top. Sweet and slightly tart nose, fresh and fruity. Clear raspberry flavoring, but not too candy-like. The fresh raspberry is tart, but the flavor subsides quickly. Underlying malts are fairly thin, but not disappointing.

McMenamins - Copper Moon Pale Ale
Enjoyed At: McMenamins Kennedy School
Serving Type: Poured from a tap, served in a 4oz. sampler glass
This seasonal has a medium amber body that's clear with moderate red highlights. The beer is hoppy and minerally with a smooth mouthfeel. The carbonation is there, but at times the body seems to go a bit flat and watery. The finish is mildly herbal and grassy.

The ale pours a light golden orange with a foamy and frothy white head. Retention was mild and lacing was contained to the top rim of the glass. Mild hops and a very malty body. Honey sweetness was pervasive and left a slight astringency on the finish.
