Zinister (1199), Houston, Texas, USA Mar 14, 2009 Thanks to MrChopin for this beer. Pours gold with a frothy, rocky head. Spicy hops, pineapple, grain, grass and lemons on the nose. Flavor is crisp, spicy hops with well integrated malts. Clean dry finish. Very nice. Thanks Kevin! joshwilfong (771), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Mar 12, 2009 medium gold with thick white head. grassy and spicy hop aroma. solid but not overwhelming bitterness with some nice grassy and spicy hop notes from the Columbus and Amarillo hops finishing with some mild malt balance that is present, but not dominating. finish is nice and dry. a solid if not a leading version of a west coast style dry ipa MiP (8793), Sønderborg, Denmark Mar 12, 2009 Bottle, 8%. Quite caramelly aroma. Clear dark golden colour. Very small white head. Very good caramelly flavour, seems to come from the hops. Good grassy hop bite. roborb (59), Raleigh, North Carolina, USA Mar 11, 2009 22 oz bottle from MrChopin, thanks man!
This beer poured a light orange color with a long lasting 1 1/2 inch head. The aroma consisted of some pine and yeast. I found the beer to be very easy to drink since the alcohol was completely masked. I did not like the strong malt backbone on this beer. I found it to be over powering and distracting to the hop profile. It was a decent beer but not something that I would search out for again.
StFun (535), Indiana, USA Mar 11, 2009 Not for me. I should probably try this again, as I’m usually a big fan of Southern Tier. This one is rather simple, which was the intent, but turned me off. Pours a light yellow-orange color. Aroma is sharp metallic hops and water. Just a touch of yeast. Flavor is much the same, watery hops, with just a touch of yeast and grain. Very thin on the palate. cgarvieuk (4159), Edinburgh, Scotland Mar 9, 2009 Bottle at a mates house ... Thanks to Fonefan for this one ... Light amber ... big american pale ale hop nose ... resiny and syrupy ... some pine hop ... some of that pale ale hop ... medium bitterness ... that builds ... a little tart ... full of flavour. DrDavid (957), Johnson, Vermont, USA Mar 8, 2009 Bottle. Hoppy aroma, with fruit and some floral. Golden body, off-white head. Nicely bitter flavor profile, lots of hops, pine, citrus, lengthy finish. Excellent. gogaterz (20), Pennsylvania, USA Mar 6, 2009 Thin creamy lasting head. Hazy gold in color. A pleasant hoppy/grainy flavor. An earthy flavor on the palate. Overal a very good beer. I make sure to have a 22oz. bottle once or twice a month.
