Golden pour with an off-white moderate head. Decent amount of hops, spice, and citrus. Crisp and dry with the hops dominating the flavor. Very good.

Dec 12, 2009 Poured a bright copper color with a fluffy white head that left a good amount of lacing. Wonderful fruity, citrus aroma. Good flavors of orange, grapefruit, and toffee. It was a little bit thin, but overall a solid IPA.

Dec 5, 2009 This is a very solid IPA. For a while I’d heard about the wildness of the Southern Tiers and I finally found some, and certainly they did not disappoint. This is unique in the world of IPAs, pretty subdued on the hops and a very "wet" flavor, but masks the substantial abv% quite well. It reminds me of Sierra Nevada Torpedo; but less hopped and better balanced. The smell is wonderful, piney-sweetish and slightly citrusy. Appearance and mouth are run-of-the-mill for IPAs. Very sessionable (most IPAs are to me but this one more than most). I will drink the bejesus out of this brew for as long as I can get it.

Nov 28, 2009 12oz bottle from Chevy Chase in DC. Triple-hopped, huh? Just like Miller Lite! Pours a clear golden color with a medium-sized white head and some lacing. Aroma is sweet pale malt, grain, floral and citrus hops. Flavor is a little grainy and sweet with lots of pale malt and some citrusy hops. Medium body with lively carbonation and some hop resins on the palate.

Nov 19, 2009 Pours a bright, clear, yellowish copper from the 12oz. bottle: Nose of citrusy, grassy hops. Taste is similar with more of a malted balance than an overload of hops. I live for that severe overload. Lightly carbonated and bodied, this ale unfortunately feels a little lackluster. Drinkability: A vibrant and solid IPA, but may fall short to hopheads. Rebuy: I mean, it’s SoTi and an IPA! Of course I’m buying again. #201 on 19112009, DG.
