Imperial americal ale loaded with hops but without the edgy Indian nip at the end of the sip. Also a bit of the earthy and peppery notes I’ve enjoyed in other southern tier offerings.

Dec 2, 2009 Strong aroma of dried hay, with strawberries, and rose hips. Clear golden, medium white head, constant streams of carbonation, good lacing. Medium body, hay and toffee flavor, with strawberry notes detectable. Peppery celery finish. Intense, with fair balance and a bit of fruitiness, considering the base style. Still, this beer is mainly about the bitter. I like it.

Nov 29, 2009 Bomber. Pours a clear golden yellow with a Serious white head. Aroma of citrus hops. Some taste of lemon or graperuit and some sweet maltiness. L ight body and an oily texture Great finish and very refreshing. For a beer named hoppe it’s not overly hoppy and the 8% alcohol is pretty well hidden.

Nov 23, 2009 Updated: Nov 30, 2009For a hop bomb this sure was malty. I felt the malts almost overpowered the beer. Great malt profile it is though, and the hops are all grapefruity which mean mmmm for me. Not sweet though not dry, there’s a wetness from the maltiness that doesn’t get too sweet and stays pleasant throughout. Nice one.

Nov 19, 2009 Medium offwhite head. Yellow body. Harmonic floral honey, fruit, and malts aroma. Very impressive. Dry-sweet citric peachy gasoline taste with herbal notes. Mid-bodied. Sharpish chalky mouthfeel. Dry-sweetish strawy banana aftertaste disappears quickly. Relatively mild and balanced for the alcohol. (0.65l bottle from DavidL.)

Nov 16, 2009 A nose of grape, lemon and alcohol. Taste is of grape, grass, metal and cucumber. Finish is bitter and alcoholic. This brew was so so.

Nov 9, 2009 22 oz. bottle from Jungle Jim’s. Pours a cloudy gold color with a small white head. Aroma of wheat, yeast, sweet malts, bread, straw, and just a little alcohol. The alcohol is also well masked in the flavor, which also has notes of bread, wheat, yeast, sweet malts, light citrus fruits, straw, and grass. Sweet, malty, and crisp. Light-medum bodied, with a wheaty mouthfeel. Alcohol more apparent as it warms. Bitter finish. Southern Tier continues to deliver.

Nov 7, 2009 Bomber. Minimalism???? are they insane or just being sarcastic. A strong version of SNPA with some wheat an yeast tang going on. This bomber emptied far too quickly.
