Southern Tier Hoppe

Pours a light golden brown with a nice amount of head just a bit less than half an inch. Hops strong on the palate along with a sweetness that stays around just like it should. Light to almost medium bodied. I would say that yes it is more like an American Strong Ale but with a really fun spin on it for eh more like an Imperial Pale. Either way of what it truly is, great for the summer and hey if you’re looking to get there fast then this is the beer for you.

Source: 22 oz bomber purchased at Friar Tuck’s in Bloomington.
Glass: Poured into my Tripel Karmeliet glass.
Appearance: Clear gold pour with a two finger white head.
Aroma: Caramel malt with grass and pine hops. Citrus present, but not dominant.
Flavor: Sweetish malt backbone with a grassy and earthy hop finish.
Palate: Medium body with solid carbonation and a clean mouthfeel.
Overall: Not sure what they were going for here. Good but not great.

Bottle. Moderate malt aromas of cereal and grain, moderate to heavy hops of perfume and orange, light soap for the yeast, with background notes of alcohol, fresh cut fruits like melon, pineapple and berry, and a faint spicy note. Head is small, frothy, white, with fair lacing and is mostly diminishing. Color is hazy amber. Flavor starts moderately sweet and lightly acidic, then finishes lightly sweet. Palate is medium, oily, with a lively carbonation and finishes lightly alcoholic. This American Strong surprised me. It’s very easy drinking, yet it’s packed with a huge array of tastes.

Nice brew. Golden amber in color with a very thin white foam on top. Smell is piney citrus and a little alcohol. Still you can’t tell this has 8% so be careful with it.

22 oz bottle from brewery. Pours a light golden with a creamy white head that stays. Aromas of amarillo hops that is of a citrus nature and almost fruity, with a hint of wheat. The aromas carry over well to the flavors here with the amarillo coming through in its citrus nature with a little pine note and ends bitter sweet bearing a touch of wheat. Good.

Bottle at Tuulensuu, Tampere - thanks, Pat! Mid-gold beer with a chamomile aroma. American hop taste (not Cascade). Mild hops in the aftertaste. Chamomile stands out for me in the taste also, accompanied by light malts, for a fairly soft taste. Finish is slightly grassy hops mainly. Not a ’wow’ but refreshing. Unusually, Phil did not share this.
