Apr 24, 2009 Updated: Apr 26, 2009355 mL Bottle. The label states 6, not 6.5 octane as stated in this RB listing. Deep gold body with a frothy slightly off-white head that settles to a thin but tenacious rocky layer that laces the sides beautifully and leaves a "set of foam ribs" down the sides of the glass with every sip. Resiny hops dominate the intense aroma with notes of pine, grass, grapefruit rind, and floral. Flavor! What a slap in the tongue! Hops, hops, hops, oh... what shall we celebrate with this one? A hoppy birthday? Well mine is not until July but I have this beer marked to have instead of a birthday cake. The intense hops do make way for the rich sweet malt and crystal malt that express right away after the swallow with fruity hints and a note of grapefruit. Intense yet not complicated. The hop bitter expresses in the aftertaste and then lingers in the finish in an astringent way that... get me another one, now! This beer rocks and rolls! Hey you brewers down there the other side of Lake Erie: you can make some top-notch beer and you’ve proven it with this one. Southern Tier, I’ve been to your website and I look forward to sampling more of your excellent beers. Keep up the great work :D

Apr 20, 2009 This IPA is simple, straightr to the style and just fantastic. A nose full of hops and small amounts of caramel and a flavour dominated by ultra clean hop flavour, circling around the citrus/flower combo. Extremely balanced and clean with a nice subdued fruitiness and a clean, cleansing bitterness. This beer really proves, that there is no need to go extreme to be extremely good!

Apr 16, 2009 Bottle. Pours translucent amber with a flocculent white head that subsides quickly leaving modest lacing. Aroma is mellifluous, pine resin, sweet citrus, apple, slightly biscuit, and perhaps some Vienna malt. Flavor is honey, orange, pine resin, grapefruit, slight malty kick after the bitterness. Pretty good actually.
