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

Deep orange color with a moderate to large white head. Aroma contains some pine, orange, alcohol, and lemons. The flavor is rather bitter with a good malt presence. I taste oranges, lemons, pine needles, whipped cream,.....update I didnt finish the damn rating. The finish was rather bitter with some alcohol showing through. Overall a good beer.

After spending five minutes cutting off the top I finally got this one open. Very slightly hazy orange/amber with a 2 inch white head that lasts for some time leaving some nice lacing. Smell is sweet candied citrus fruits(grapefruit, orange). Much sweeter and maltier smelling than expected. Taste is huge sweet citrus fruits, slight pine and a moderate caramel maltiness and floral perfuminess. Slightly syrupy and heavy with alcohol becoming more and more present. A good IIPA.

Bottle courtesy of Sparky27...THANKS Eric!!! Light golden orange body with a solid white head that leaves a decent amount of lacing. Aroma is primarily nectarine, tangerine, and lemon rind with hints of douglas fir. Flavor is sweeter than expected, although you can definitely taste the sharp hops and alcohol bite. A great beer...wish it was readily available in AZ!!!

Clear amber with a frothy tan head that lingers. Big aromas of ganja bud, piney hops. Medium body with a frothy mouthfeel. Nice flavors of caramel with juicy piney hops meshing nicely. Has a mildly bitter boozy taste to finish. Really enjoyed this one.

A hoppy aroma with notes of grass. The flavor is nice and hoppy again there is notes of grass - the flavor is nicely balanced.
