I am not sure if the beer is called copper because of the color or metallic flavors.

The beer did pour a copper color but with little head to talk about.

The aroma was floral and hoppy but with underlying notes of sweetness in the background.

I found the aroma of the beer mirrored the taste very well.  There were some amber ale like caramel and toffee flavors which contrasted well with the grassy hops.  

But - there was this metal flavor in the examples I tried which from the name could be intentional?  It really did not detract too much from the beer.  It just tasted to me like someone dropped a few hundred pennies into the brew as the batch was fermenting. 

In addition, carbonation was light with the beer having a more watery texture. 

For what it is, this is decent beer.  Besides the metal flavor, the Copper Ale is a one dimensional beer and not complex.  What you smell is what you get.
