Apr 25, 2007 Pours a golden/light orange color with a white head. Aroma is of citrus and pine hops, wheat, and some sweet malts. Flavor is huge of the citrus and pine hops up front that give way to it’s sweeter tones. Seems to be a little thin on the finish but still a decent brew.

Apr 18, 2007 Updated: May 6, 2007Nice label on this bottle. Dependable clear yellow pale lager colors and head. Smells a little sweet with a sense of strong ale, perhaps lemon. Strongish malt on back of tongue. Good non overpowering fizz. Do I detect a hop bite? Overall a pretty good beer except for the mild and medium uvula personalities. I was expected something a little different for a label with a sun on it. Doesn’t wheat beer have sludge on the bottom? Hey! This ain’t Founders! Oh, now I see the word hop on the front!? Seems to have more hops than wheat. Similar in satisfaction to Arcadia Sun and JW Dundee’s Hefe. I’ve tasted pale lagers that are more wheatlike than this.

Mar 24, 2007 12 oz bottle thanks to beerlord. Cloudy orange, orange rind aroma, thin white head. The hops jump up on the first sip, kind of like biting an orange rind. Tart mouthfeel, a nice summer brew.

Mar 21, 2007 Light straw colored, almost the color of megaswill, thin white head. Nice hop boquet, not overpowering, flowery. Nice hop flavor but not excessivly bitter, a touch of orange chocolate comes through. Medium mouth feel. Brussels lace adorns the glass till empty. Nice beer.

Mar 21, 2007 Southern Tier Hop Sun
12 oz bottle
Brewed circa summer 06, consumed 03/07
Moderate pour in a weizen glass
Poured a hazy amber with a large quickly diminishing bubbly white head with fair lacing.
Smelt of sour oranges, lemons, and coriander.
Taste was upfront moderate bitter sweet and strong sour orange candy followed by a strong bitter grassy hops and sour lemon rinds on an average length finish.
Palate was light bodied, watery to dry, effervescent and moderately astringent.
Overall, why so sour? Age and lager yeast could have been a factor. I will try again when fresh.

Mar 15, 2007 Updated: May 27, 2008Pale amber with a slight cloud, little to no head when poured. Grassy hop aroma and a light malt to keep things in balance. The wheat element is light, but present. Slightly metallic. Great lemony citrus flavors from the hops. A nice flavorful session beer.
