Southern Tier Phin & Matts Extraordinary Ale

Bottled. Amber coloured. Unclear. Off white small dense head. Smell of pine, fruits, citus and light wood. Flavour is citric, caramelly, fruity, spiced and pined, Medium bodied. dry. Ends on a light bitter and sweet note. Quite refreshing.

Pours a hazy golden orange color with slight yellowish hues when held to a light source and a 1.5 finger foamy white head that quickly dissipates into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing. Very faint floral hop aroma with some citrus notes and a caramel malt backbone. Very bland. Once again the flavor is bland and uninspiring. Watered down and thin bodied with subtle floral and citrus hops and a caramel malt backbone. This beer is well balanced but is pretty boring with not much interesting going on. The hops are not very bitter and only have a slight touch of citrus fruit. A pretty drinkable session beer but I wouldn’t seek it out again.

Medium amber color with a decent foamy head. Spicy flowery hops aroma. Flavor is fruity hops with a hit of spicy sweet malt. Lightly bitter finish accompanies a palate that feels like medium but still comes across as a bit watery. Not bad just seems lacking in a few key areas.

Bottle. Very pale copper color with a bit of lace. Flowery hop aroma: citrus, sweet amlts, a bit of honey. Very fruity. Light palate; flavor of sweet pale malts, citrus and light fruits, honey. Very floral and generally sweet, slightly metallic, with light bitterness. Very drinkable but not challengng or as serious as many of their others. Rater bland.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is amber. Aroma and taste are rich hops, flowers, malt and citrus. Nice bitter finish.

Bottle. Poured golden yellow with a small white head. A nice mix of malt and hops in the aroma. Hops are more defined in the flavor, but not overwhelming. A pretty good beer, nothing extraordinary, but smooth and refreshing.

Golden look with a creamy white head. Nice hop aroma of flowers an grape. Flavor is delicate with some sweet fruity notes and a mild hop bitterness. I vent down fast!

Bottle. Pours a clear light orange with a small ring of white head. Aroma of sweet caramel malt, crystal malt. dark fruits and raisin. Flavor is very similar with sweet, grainy malt, some dark fruits. Ok, drinkable, but boring. 6/4/6/3/13 Ɠ.2/5)
