efrumtheidiot (173), Maryland, USA Nov 30, 2007 this is the most basic, standard beer southern tier brews, IMO. it’s only sold (supposedly) in chautauqua county, NY. it’s a nice brew, still beats the hell out of any big name beers, but it’s not as nice as southern tier’s other offerings. pours golden amber with a white head. aroma is light and malty, smells like a flowery lager, really. taste is malt with a smidge of hops, very light. mid-light body that finishes clean. a great beer if you don’t want to buy the mass-marketed piss that it shares the shelf with. cbkschubert (1469), Skyline, Arizona, USA Nov 16, 2007 22 oz. bottle my mother-in-law brought back from NY - Pours a very slighlty hazy light golden color with a one and a half finger thick white head. Very light, tiny bubbled carbonation. No lacing to speak of. Aroma is soapy with light grain and light esters. Flavor is lightly sweetened grain and light fruity esters. Light to medium body. Nothing fancy, but worth a try. Not sure if I want to drink the whole bottle. Cartoon_khaki (1105), Brantford, Ontario, Canada Sep 9, 2007 Clean light golden colour with thin white head. Light malty aroma with some kind of citrusy background. Flavour is mute, kind of a light acidic bready malt. Watery body. swoopjones (1018), Buffalo, New York, USA May 9, 2007 On tap @ Coles Buffalo NY a while ago. Was told this was made for the Southern Tier of NY & North West PA to combat Yeungling. Nothing real special like Yeungling. Caramely malty amber. Nothing great but nothing bad. I think thay accomplished their goal rudolf (1518), Buffalo, New York, USA Aug 27, 2006 Clear gold, thin white head. Nose is caramel malt, orange/lemon, light butterscotch, bready malt.
