jmikolich (405), Athens, Ohio, USA Apr 12, 2008 12oz, again from sampler, a bit old tasting, but not bad, tastes like an APA , nothing spectacular, a little bit of hops a little bit of malt but super easy to drink and a great macro alternative. Bungalo22 (326), Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA Apr 5, 2008 Updated: Apr 6, 2008Poured from a bottle. Light yellow on pour, little lacing. Nice hoppy aroma. I would say a great session IPA beer at a halfway decent price. The balance is smooth but it doesn’t bowl you over with its completness. I put this one in the middle of the road. xnoxhatex (1305), Grand Rapids/Chicago, Michigan, USA Apr 3, 2008 Bottle from West Lakeview Liquors, Chicago. Clear light amber with small white head. Aroma is mild citrus hops with balanced caramel backbone. Caramel and nuttiness upfront with some bubblegum, and citrus hops. Medium thin body and creamy. Nice for an APA. StFun (535), Indiana, USA Apr 2, 2008 Another nice find from the Cincy roadtrip! If Southern Tier makes a bad beer, I’ve yet to try it! Even at 66 percentile, this one is still a keeper! Lots and lots of hops in this one, but without the metallic aftertaste. Good malt character as well, but the beer is thin and refreshing. Weak enough to not overpower, but enough to add to the flavor. I could see this being a fantastic session brew. keepersj12 (774), Sicklerville, New Jersey, USA Apr 1, 2008 Pretty decent attempt. Nice hop aroma with some sweet malts thrown in. Flavor is sweet malt with the hops at the back end. Beautiful amber pour. Nice clean and crisp. JonR888710 (999), Cochabamba, Bolivia Apr 1, 2008 Pours a golden brown with a white-bread colored head, pretty thick. Smells of floral, and sweet apricot hops. Taste is a little soapy, sweet hops. Pretty decent beer. bdigital (585), Ft Wayne, Indiana, USA Mar 31, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy orange color with a minimal white head. Spiced-citrus aroma with some mild floral hop notes, light malts. Medium bodied. Flavor pretty much follows the nose. Decent, nothing great. WickerBrew (312), Chicago, Illinois, USA Mar 28, 2008 I dont know if I can say anything good or bad about this beer. Its just a light, crisp, slightly hopped ale. Nothing fantastic, but for something to swig on I suppose this works out. Usually Southern Tier stuff is happily priced as well, which helps.
