12 oz. bottle. Clear orange pour with a quickly dissipating white head. A little lacing here. Caramel aroma. Citrus and caramel notes in the front end. Mild hop finish. Excellent example of the style.

Aug 12, 2008 12oz Bottle: Coppery amber w/ a biege head. Pleasant grapefruit hop aroma w/ an underlying layer of sweet malts. Flavor is sweet up front followed by bitter hops that sustain through the finish. Spicy hop flavor lingers w/ a syrupy sweet stickiness that hangs around for a bit. Pretty good.

Aug 10, 2008 In short: A sweet sugary extra-crisp IPA. Good beer but too sweet/sugary for its own good.
How: Bottle 12oz. Consumed fresh as soon as I got it from the brewery
The look: Clear dark-golden topped by a very small off-white head
In long: Nose of citrus fruit flavoured candies and some coniferous notes. Taste is surprisingly sweet. The beer doesn’t have that heavy caramelized malts body, instead it has that boring sugary/candy sugar flavour. Then comes some hard-barley candies. Fruity hops profile with some fruity hops with some citrus fruits, grapefruits and a little orange. There are hops in this beer, probably a whole lots of hops but the beer is just too sweet/candy for the hops. In the land of over-hopped beers if there’s a brewery that I suspected could do an overly sweet IPA it is Southern Tier. Yet another extra-sweet product from Southern Tier, if these guys could make women…

Aug 10, 2008 Pours a clear golden amber with a small bubbly white head that dissipates quickly to a collar of foam leaving spotty lacing. The smell is earthy and subtle with pine hops and a solid malt backbone dominating. The taste mirrors the smell with a grassy hop kick up front before the malts take over in the middle. The pine hops kick in a little in the finish with only the slightest bitterness lingering between sips. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and a little sticky with modest carbonation. This is decent IPA and very drinkable with a subtle, less overpowering hop profile.

Aug 10, 2008 Love this stuff.
Great Pine Cone / Pine Needle Hop taste, the hops will stick to you due to it having that resin type feel to it.
ABV hidden with in this quality beer.
My 2nd favorate beer for these guys, a great 6 pack to buy / try out if your a hop head.

Aug 9, 2008 Updated: Aug 15, 2008Very hoppy aroma, super hopped. Clean white head dissipates slowly, leaving some lace. Nice amber, orangy copper colour. Enjoyable!
