orange color with dissipating. nice citrus sweet hop aroma. not overly hopped, but sweet malt takes over as the main flavor. decent balance, but id like to see a heavier hand on the hopping. Slightly interesting, but not mind blowing. I was hoping for a bit more

mostly clear copper pour with a very small head. Aroma holds pine, citrus, definite sweetness to the hop character- also some caramel malt. Flavor is quite sweet, with a lot of sweet malt character, but it’s not unbalanced in my opinion. Hop character could be increased, but it’s still solidly present. A very solid DIPA overall, and another good brew from Southern Tier.

Cloudy amber pour with small head and minimal lacing. Aroma is grassy and floral with grapefruit and lemon notes. Malt sweetness is caramel in its nature. Flavor is sweet and sharp with lots of bitterness, citrus, and caramel. Borderline cloying, but still palatable. Palate is somewhat syrupy leaving a dryish bitter finish. A bit sweet, but very enjoyable.

Bottle, nice orange color with a good white head. Aroma is nice hops,. The flavors are some what sweet but hoppy. I really enjoyed this beer but my notes weren’t very good. I wish I could find Hoppe and Unearthly to try separately.

660ml bottle (Pikkulintu, Helsinki) - shared by sayravai and Tbone - thanks!
Orange, healthy head. Very sweet hoppy aroma, sherbet too. Massively sweet body. Very fruity fruity hoppy taste - smooth stickiness. Covers the alcohol very well. Even though this is very sweet, it’s well in balance. High drinkability, very good for its potency.

Bottled@Kaisla (0,66 ltr). Clear golden color, steady creamy white head, some lace. Aroma has rye and light cat piss. Sweet rye-bready and hoppy flavor. Low bitterness, oily mouthfeel. Combination of Hoppe and Unearthy should be more interesting. Sweet....

(Bottled) Slightly hazy amber with a smallish, bubbly head. Aroma of berries, caramely malt, nutty-resiny aromatic hops. Flavor of caramely, sweetish malt, aromatic hops, not that much bitterness, some vegetables, quite well hidden alcohol. Medium body, soft carbonation. Didn’t find the original beers that interesting, so it’s no surprise, that their blend is not much better.
