3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a tall glass. Pours a nice off golden color with a nice white head that lasts a decent while. Aroma is nice and malty with some caramel, with a decent hoppy aroma of pine, citrus, maybe yeasty. Flavor is decently smooth with a moderate to heavy sweatness with an average bitter duration at the end. Notes of citrus, pine, malt, and yeast. Body is medium overall with average carbonation. Overall a solid beer.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 10/20
Grapefruit with notes of pine and malt comprise the aroma. A clear amber pour with a quickly disappearing white head and clingy lacing. The taste is hop froward but nicely balanced by a malty bread-like flavor. Grapefruit, pine, bread, grain. As expected, a nice bitter finish completes the impression. Medium body with crisp carbonatin. Overall, a refreshing and balanced IPA that is easily drinkable - sadly I only have one.

On cask. Light, mildly hoppy aroma, fresh. Amber pour. Very smooth, but not as hoppy as I prefer

355mL bottle. Pours deep golden with an almost non existent aroma (slight skunk). Has a nice confronting bitterness although its backed by a lack of flavour and complexity. DOB on the bottle is 3.1.13 so surely the hop flavours and aroma wouldn’t be zero.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle at home 16th May 2013. Nice American style IPA, sweetish, like it more bitter. Lovely drink though
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
A good American IPA that is more restrained on the hop side of the hop-malt balance. While I personally prefer the hoppier West Coast variety this East Coast example of the breed would appeal to many others and would not see me turning one down.
2.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours dark gold in the glass. Citrusy malt aroma. Herbal bitter soapy flavor. The soapy bitter taste lasts. Overall, i might have to rerate. Maybe i got a bad beer or there was some residual soap in my glass. Not sure...

3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle. Glad ST has made it down to Texas, now send down some damn choklat, mokah and java, dammit! Clear copper pour with a small head. Aroma is pine, cereal, grain. Flavor is pine, faint citrus and soap. Not super floral. Mid dry finish.
4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Another great American IPA. It is well hopped and 7.3% alc. The picture of Southern Tier label does not look like that anymore, could do with an update.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Between fragrance, mouthfeel, taste and yummy lingering aftertaste, this is a solid and balanced ipa and at 7.3 it packs enough weight to lighten your mood if the edge needs to be taken off.
