JohnQPublic (157), Brooklyn, New York, USA Jun 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark gold with a nice, long lasting, fluffy white head. Aroma is sweet citrus hops. Taste is sweet malt, subdued citrus hops, with a mild bitterness on the finish. Nice drinkable take on the style.
TheRealBastard (94), New Jersey, USA Aug 27, 2008 Terrible. Too thin and boring. Should be called Bert and Ernie’s instead. This beer is way to thin and dry. No flavor. I got a corn bomb from this one. Stay away. DrBayern (935), Morehead City, North Carolina, USA Aug 24, 2008 Date: 08/24/08, 12 oz. bottle
Aroma - Toffee, light grain, hints of spice and earth,
Appearance - Clear gold, full white head settling slowly to a persistent thin layer in a few minutes, sliding rings of lace.
Flavor - Solid, softly sweet light malt backbone, gentle bitterness enters slowly, but leaves it’s mark in a pleasing dry finish that rounds off the malt well.
Palate - Medium body and carbonation, very smooth, sliding down easily and leaving a clean palate
Overall - Under appreciated, as is the case with many of Southern Tier’s offerings. Very smooth, drinkable, and with an attractive subtlety, this is a fine session beer. afireinside96 (410), Mountville, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 22, 2008 12oz bottle served in a stem glass. Pale gold in color with a large white head. Smells of pine and strawberry. Pine, citrus, hop spiciness, and berry are noticeable in the flavor. Nothing over the top, well rounded bitterness, a tad unusual for an APA. Fairly dry for the style as well. Good, not great. verymerrymonk (200), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Aug 8, 2008 Pour is a clear gold with a thin white head. A slightly citrusy, simple IPA. Very easy drinker - more enjoyable than my score reflects. Acknud (588), Morganfield, Kentucky, USA Aug 5, 2008 Gold pour with a small white head. Aroma of faint citrus hops and malt. Taste is fairly bland. It needs a little more hop kick.
