Southern Tier Mild Ale

Formerly brewed at Southern Tier Brewing Company
Style: Mild Ale
Lakewood, New York USA

Hazy Orange, no head. Aroma of Orange marmalade and honey. Slight honey flavor a, some mild pine hop notes, as well some citrus flavors. A hint of sweet, then a dry finish. Very tasty. Thanks to Springslicker for this one!

I really enjoyed this beer. I’ve only tried about six milds. This would fall in the middle of the pack... my favorite of the style being Moorhouse Black Cat . This is a very light, refreshing amber ale. Small, fizzy, off-white head. Crisp, clean aroma and perfectly balanced flavor. Notes of iced-tea and straw in both. Light-bodied and watery with fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, clean finish. Perfect with food, much like a Vienna... only better as it’s an ale. Thanks to springslicker for the bottle.

I wasn’t too sure what I had purchased. A true mild Ale is very hard to find in the U.S. and the better examples I had had were all homebrews. This pours a clear medium amber body with a foamy white head. The aroma is malty with a mild hop backing. The flavor is nutty malt sweetness that rounds out nicely with just a touch of hops. Very smooth and drinkable. Flavorful, medium bodied and somewhat filling. A malted milk ball in a glass.

Poured reddish amber with medium whtie head...aroma was malty and lemony...taste was nicely balanced between malts, nuts, lemons, subtle hops...finish was more apparent hops...decent brew

Bottle, from Halftime.Good nose, honey, bread dough, toffee/carmel, something familiar I just not remembering. orangy copper color, small to no head. Sweet bitter flavors, carmel, nutty, some citrus, orange/grapefruit. Medium body, lite creamy mouthfeel. Sweet bitter finish. I dig it, nice brew.

My impression from trying a bunch of Southern Tier products is that they are a nicely solid brewer who have been steadily growing on me. This was my first time trying this particular offering. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a medium amber color with a large creamy tan head. The aroma was sweet and malty. The flavor was sweet an malty with a bit of toasted malt and nut on the finish. A decently drinkable brew but nothing to seek out. Decent.

Color, a clear, bright orange, beneath a satisfactory,1/2" white head. Aroma, soft, fresh, hints of citrus, lightly flowering into a greater fruit bouquet Tiny hops up front, tasty malt, light body, thoroughly mellow. Very true to the style as I understand, but more substantial than some of those very-mild milds I’ve had. Not bad at all.

[12 oz. bottle] Clear amber color with a thin white head and very little carbonation. Aroma is very fruity with hints of malt. Very mild flavor of malts with a touch of sweetness and citrus and a slightly bitter hoppy bite at the end. Very interesting beer.
