Commercial Description:
“blended hoppe & unearthly” High in the winter sky, two parallel stick figures are visible & known as “the twins,” or the constellation Gemini. The astronauts of the 1960s flew as teams of two in a program named after the celestial pairing. At Southern Tier, we have our own fraternal twins, Hoppe & Unearthly. Blended together & placed in this vessel, the mission of our Gemini is to travel high & take passengers on a journey far into the heavens. 10.5% abv • 5.8ºL

Bottle from Matt at River’s Bend. Poured hazy amber color with a large frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Heavy sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium to full body with slick texture and soft carbonation. Heavy smooth bittersweet grapefruit flavor with a heavy bittersweet finish of long duration.This is a standout beer and good choice for 3000.

Bottle. Big thanks to msante79 for this one. Piney citrus aroma. Tastes of citrus, pine, honey and malt. Finishes nicely bitter. Well done IIPA.

Breadlike malt aroma with a citrus pineapple background, some gingerbread and cookie. Bubbly tan head with a clear golden amber body. Fairly thick on the tongue, creamy with flavors of hops, Malt is strong enough for a rich balance. Alcohol seems buried somewhere in there. Caramel sweetness is present. Very good.

Bottle thanks to zathrus13. Wax was fun trying to get off. Pours with a large, creamy, tight bubbled, off-white head. Slightly chil hazed golden yellow body. Head sticks like glue, both to the top of the beer and the side of the glass. Aroma has lots of candi, caramel, apricot and tangarine hops. Really a room filling aroma. Taste is sweet at strong with some light citrus and faded fruity malts bringing up the rear. Alcohol is well hidden. Creamy smooth mouthfeel, light bubbles. Great beer!

650ml bottle as shown. Right off the bat I was excited for this bad boy being that un*earthly is as if god himself was pouring beer in my mouth. The wax is a total bitch to remove. Once opened, this possesses some of the intensity but it more refined in that the unfiltered hop adds more of a body to the brew. Awesome.

500ml bomber bottle split with Ann. Unless you count trying to open corked bottles without a corkscrew, this beer is one of the hardest to open that I’ve ever had. Wax really did the job in terms of sealing it. Glowing, murky orange color. Very piny evergreen aroma. Equally piny taste, a little syrupy. Lots of hop character. Great balance of flavors compliments the high alcohol well. Awesome dry hop character. Excellent beer.
