Jun 9, 2008 Bottle from the Southern Tier mixpack. The aroma is very floral and hoppy, malty much more malty than I thought it would be, great aftertaste would buy again, I am kind of upset that when the mixpacks handles broke and I dropped it that this was the only oen of the 11 that broke. Unfortunate haha

Jun 6, 2008 Bottle: pours dark copper, nice aroma of hops with molasses/carmel notes. After the smell, I knew I would like this beer. Taste is similiar to aroma. Initiial hop taste gives way to a slight carmel malt sweetness that gives way to a lingering hop flavor. This is a nice IPA and the subtle sweetness keeps you intrigued.

Jun 2, 2008 Bottle: Poured a deep orangey color ale with a medium foamy head with average retention and no lacing. Aroma of mild bitter hops are dominating. Taste is a mix between some bitter hops and a nice caramel malt base. Full body with OK carbonation. Well done but nothing that really stands out for the myriad of IPA offering in the US.

May 31, 2008 12 oz bottle
This has been sitting around for a while in the fridge. I finally decided to do a bit of thinning and crack it open. I hope I can get to the next bottle soon. It’s not special but as is usual for most Southern Tier beers it gets the job done.
Aroma / Appearance - A basic white head typical of a standard IPA floated above the carbonated bronze body. Spruce, floor wax and caramel are the basic elements. I found nothing exceptional but it was enough.
Flavor / Palate - The chewy mouthfeel was a little thick with hints of honey and tree mulch. Moist until a slightly dry finish it is typical of most IPAs I have tried. Without being special it gets the job done.
