Southern Tier Gemini

Brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Company
Style: Imperial/Double IPA
Lakewood, New York USA

Pours a semi hazy amber color with mdium sized white head that leaves abundant anounts of lacing. Aroma is very piney, resinous and earthy with bits of grapefruit poking through. Taste is resinous piney hops, earth, caramel, and citrus. The ST house flavor makes an appearance as well. I prefer more citrus and floral IPAs and DIPAs then earth and piney. Alcohol is well hidden.

Bottle. Body-honey body with a very thick ring of bubbles and an island of bubbles. Nose-very big sweet PNW hops, grapefruit, clean, very aggressive nose even for an IIPA. Taste-not nearly as sweet and sticky as the nose would indicate, good tasting malts, medium t medium high bitterness, unsweet perfumey, very hoppy (of course), light Pine-Sol, watered down grapefruit juice. Finishes slightly acidic and sharp. Nice for what it is.

Hazy gold body with an off white head. The aroma was strong grapefruit with some dry wheat. There was also toffee and bread crust. The taste was grapefruit and walnuts. There was also some light toast with the sweet finish. It was definitely more of the Un Earthly, but like a muted version of it.

Bomber: Nice big hoppy nose, citrus, piney hops, and nice malty undetones. Appearance is a nice softly cloudy almost translucent golden color with a medium sized carbonated white head. Taste is really nicely complex with the upfront hops that turn into a nice malt mixture and then finishes nicely dry with a hop backing. Overall, very nice brew. The mixture of the Hoppe and Unearthly I’m really digging. Cheers!

22oz bottle given to me by BrianK on DLD08. another thanks.....poured a lively and muddy golden orange with a thin soapy off-white head. this one almost overflowed out of the bottle and overall, it seems to be overly carbonated..... aroma consisted of some biscuity malt and citrusy hops. not sure if this is the most fresh bottle as the hops could have been more prominent.....flavorwise, the hops come through in spades. an abundance of citrusy hops shine with very little to no bitterness which is just fine by me. just a slight tinge of bitterness in the finish but it was barely noticed. some malt to it but again, very subtle carbonation level was fitting and the mouthfeel was pretty nice...... would like to try this again fresh but it still was very good.

Poured an unfiltered golden orange and leveld white head. Very nice hop profile of citrus and floral aromas, but not in balance with the lacking of malt. Decent beer, don’t know if it was worth the trouble getting that stupid wax off the bottle.

Pours a cloudy orange color with a thin white head. Good aroma of fruity and floral hops with some sweetness. Good flavor of floral, fruity hops, sweetness, wheat (?) and a mild bitter finish. The body is medium with a creamy texture and moderate carbonation. Very good.

Poured a cloduy light orange with a white head. Aroma was of tons of different hops, so devine I couldnt give it less than a 10. Flavour was much the same but wish it was a bit less sticky maltiness.
