Southern Tier Phin & Matts Extraordinary Ale

12 oz bottle from Shadey. Amber color. No real aroma. Flavor is fairly typical for this style. Lightly hopped, clean, refreshing, easy drinking. Not bad, but nothing here stands out.

Brownish color, no head. Smell is sweet and grassy with a little bit of a hop flavor. Taste is fruity and refreshing. Something is weird tasting, but I do not know what it is. Not a bad beer, but damn, give me Sierra Nevada.

Red-amber; small, frothy, white head; head becomes a small ring but can be brought back briefly with some moderate swirling. Grassy, earthy, piney hops in the nose; light caramel. Flavor is largely hoppy; some apple is hidden in there as well. Medium-thin body; medium carbonation. Overall, quite solid.

carmel, hops, apricot, some banana, apple, some fruit and nut granola flavoras.

bought it for the packaging...cause sometimes i’m a sucker - found it to be a lot better than i expected...kind of like a sierra nevada pale ale without the bitterness in the finish

Clear amber/orange with a small head. Aroma of orange and pine. Taste is heavily orange-citrus. A little caramel. Nice. Light to medium body. Nicely bitter ending.

On tap @ Coles Buffalo, NY. Nice American pale. Easy drinking & enjoyable. Could use a better name though

Draft at KClinger’s. Textbook amber beer with a thin sticky top. Well hopped ... oily, resiny, piney. Vicscuous! Excellent hoppy little ale.
