Aug 30, 2008 Another "surprise" IPA for me, as I had never heard of this brewer before. I always love it when a beer "wows" me upon first sip. Pours a classic IPA orange/amber with some hazyness and good lacing. The aroma is very strong, with classic pine and citrus on the finish. The taste follows suit, with a very strong hoppyness as well as balanced carbonation and malt. I will definitely be getting Southern Tier again. Cheers!

Aug 28, 2008 Not bad. there has been a lot of noise about this brewery in the area since its arrival here. I’m not sure I share the enthusiasm. Nevertheless, it is a good IPA with solid hop delivery.

Aug 27, 2008 Dark amber pour almost copper. Lots of bubbles. Very visually stimulating. Blood Orange zest on the nose. Citrus and pine for flavor with a malty backbone. Crisp and clean.

Aug 27, 2008 12 oz bottle given to me by csbosox. Pour is hazed orange golden with a big 3 inch off white head. Very nice cascading settling. Very slow to fall, when it does, nice sticky lacing. Aroma is fresh citrus (grapefruit) hops and sweet caramel maltiness. Nicely balanced nose. Taste is resin, bitter citrus hops, with some pine, which I hadn’t t pick up on in the nose. The malt picks up mid palate, and carries to the finish where the hop bitterness picks back up. There is a touch of earthy grassiness to the after taste, which I like. Nice IPA. Thanks Chris.

Aug 26, 2008 Amber orangeish color, with a beige head, sweet toasty, caramel malt nose with a very nice candied peach, tangerine floral hop orange peel citrusy aroma folloes through on a medium-bodied palate with a sweet toasted, caramelized malt, fruity marmalade character, from the good flowery hop fruity, peachy, mandarin accent, with a grassy, minty note, leading towards a leafy hop bitterness finish.
