Southern Tier Hoppe

22OZ Bomber: Pours a golden straw color with a murkiness to it.Smells of grassy hops, and a floral kick.Flavor is sweet with a peppery backbone. Palate was the best IMO it seems the more I have Southern Tier offerings the more I think that they no to make beer that has a great palate to it.Overall aghhh

22oz bomber from swoopjones. Fine aroma of pine, plenty of orange rind and tangerine citrus, some dirty malt and the smallest hint of cannabis. Pours bright cloudy orange with a very creamy white head leaving most excellent lacing. The malt takes more of a front seat approach on the tongue than on the nose. It’s not a straightforward sweet caramel malt, though. It’s much more dirty and earthy. Behind the malt there’s plenty of oily pine and robust citrus. Much like the other Southern Tier beers I’ve had, this one takes a more unusual approach to the style with excellent execution.

I’ve yet to be disappointed by a Southern Tier beer, and this one is no exception. Like other Southern Tier beers I’ve tried it has a brilliant and clear appearance and a clean and crisp hoppy flavor. The body of the beer is straw colored, but a brilliantly bright and clear beer with lots of soapy head. Aroma is a very crisp and piney hoppiness. Flavor is also very crisp hop bitterness that is more pine than fruit or grass. Mouthfeel is astringent and drying, belying the IBUs present here. Very good! I really enjoyed this beer; I’d recommend it. I split this bottle with SurlySober; not sure where he found it.

22 oz. bottle, from drewbeerme (I think). Pours slightly hazed, medium amber,with a large whitish head that leaves thick lacing. Nice aroma of summer fruits, floral and citrus hops, apricot and toasty malts. Sweetish, fruity malt character with hints of caramel, piney, floral and ashy hops, buit of honey and orange juice. Medium to full body and creamy carbonation. Nicely done.

Thanks to MPA for sharing. Clear yellow of color with a weak longlasting white head. An aroma of grapefruit, hops, pines and notes of malt. A flavor with notes of malt, liqurice, hops and grapefruit.

22 oz bottle received from SS ’07, holdenn. Pours clear orange with an average, rocky and bubbly white head, mostly lasting with good lacing. Aroma is average malt (lightly toasted grain, meal, cereal), heavy hops (flowers, pine, spruce), average yeast (dough, sweat) with notes of apricot, peach, and apple. Medium bodied, sticky texture, lively carbonation, and a bitter finish. Long duration, light sweetness, moderate acidity and bitterness.

So stoked to open and try this one! Here goes: Poured a pale tawny body, but as more poured, the color darkened to a light copper-amber. Lumpy thick whitish head that left a luxurious creamy lasting lacing way up the glass. Great grapefruity sweet IT quality nose that reminded me of Three Floyds’ Dreadknaught. Flavor was no Dreadkaught, but quite interesting and favorable/flavorful. Earthy, grassy, wheaty bitter and sweet flavor that was quite nice. And, quite unique. A little rough around the edges, but well worth the taste. NIce bubblegum finish that is much appreciated amidst a hop shortage.

Poured a lightly hazy, yellow amber color with a medium sized, white head that left nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of tangerine, light floral hops, vanilla, and citrus fruits. Taste of orange peel, citrus fruits, grass, toffee malts, and a moderate bitterness, with a bit of alcohol in the finish.
