Nov 22, 2007 650ml bomber, shared with VeloVampire - pours slight hazy gold with a smallish white head. Tonnes of grapefruit and citrus in the aroma, you could even smell is from a distance. Very robust and sweet. Flavour is very strong, incredibly similar to a dIPA...in fact, I don’t really understand exactly what differentiates this from a dIPA, but whatever. Lots of hops, though flavour is less sweetly citrusy than the aroma would lead you believe and instead has an earthier, piney hoppiness. Bitterness upfront with the alcohol extremely well hidden. A mild caramel-like malt base can be detected underneath all the hopping. Not terribly interesting, very similar to many other hop-crazy, big American beers, but good.

Nov 18, 2007 Pours a clear gold with a nice crème head. Nose is that syrupy sticky pine sweet tone. Flavor is that double IPA goodness. Hoppy and thick with that pine character to it. This is a traditional, if there is such a thing, DIPA. Hearty and robust with a consistently full flavor. If you want a great example of this style, then this is it. No need to look further. Feel has that thick and slick and somewhat sticky liquid feel. Decent level of carbonation. This gives it how you want to see it. A must try. Stellar.

Nov 11, 2007 Bottle. Molasses aroma with some hop; not my favorite. Hazy amber body with a thin, off-white head. Nice lace. Heavy alcohol presence. Excellent hop profile. Great finish. Really friggin’ excellent brew. Underrated. Southern Tier is a top notch brewer and a rising star.
