Copper-orange pour with a frothy off-white head. Loads of grapefruit, orange and caramel aroma with a little amonia. Same notes come out in the flavor with an earthy malt presence and some flowery pine. Full body, creamy ans soft carbonation.

ellolovey (288) - Georgia, USA - MAY 29, 2013
Bomber. Pours a thick hazy amber with a foamy white head. Aroma of citrus and pine hops, and caramel and toffee malts. Smells amazingly sweet and citrusy all at the same time. Nice balance between sweet malts and bitter hops. Pine and citrus hit the palate first followed by caramel and toffee malts with a bit of earthiness in the finish. Bittersweet finish. Southern Tier has yet to let me down! This is a great way to finish a long work day.

Westmeister (990) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - APR 4, 2013
Draft. Pours a slightly hazy orange with chunky head. Aroma is sweet maltiness as one would expect from a ST IPA, with citrus and some peach. Taste is alost equal amounts of sweet caramel malt and orange, peach. In the end the sweetness overpowers the hop bite. Ok.
