Southern Tier Uber Sun

Bottled at Oliver Twist, Stockholm. Clear pale golden, minimal head. Fruity nose with some vague vegetables. Sweet and amazingly thin for an 8% beer. Metal is the predominant feature, though citric hops tries in vain to cover it. It’s edgy and aggresive with no thirst quenching qualities whatsoever. As there are also near no flavour to savour, beside sweaty lightly orange hops. An imperially boring beer.

(22oz bottle) Crystal clear apple juice body with small off-white head. Aroma is medium sweet, floral, orange/grapefruit, light clove. Taste is moderately sweet, orange, grassy, light banana. Creamy medium-full body. Seems like a wheaty IIPA.

Sticky, light white head covers the clear golden hue. Straight-on citrus: orange and flowery, slightly earthy hops are apparently all centennial. Subtle wheatiness from the nose appears broader in mouth. Quite crisp-bodied. Cohesive hop choice for the recipe. Aromatic. Minty, leafy finish with a salty tinge to its bitterness – but more aromatic than bitter oriented hop schedule. Made to be drinkable by the pint and it works. Tasty and well integrated ingredients.

Pours a clear bright golden with a thin, wispy white head. Aroma of fresh, piny earthy hops and some pale malt. Starts with a mild sweetness and a big, fresh resiny hoppy presence toward a crisp, fairly balanced finish. A nice American strong ale.
