Dec 13, 2009 A: To be honest I don’t know. I drank this baby right from the bottle as I bobbed in the surf of the Atlantic Ocean.
S: Wow for a summer wheat brew there are sure a lot of hops noted in this one. There is a wonderful citrus piney aroma. There is a slight bit of wheatyness and yeast, but the hops rule here.
T: Wow what a summer brew. This reminds me of a 3 Floyd’s brew. What Southern Tier has done is create a solid summer wheat brew and then hop the shit out of it. Wonderful man.
M: Medium bodied with a wonderful finish.

Dec 12, 2009 American strong ale is the ’catch all’ for Wheat wine....I guess. I really good beer. I have nothing to compare it to, which I guess is a omage to Southern Tier. So, standing alone....I like it.

Dec 4, 2009 Pours out a rich golden color with an almost non existent head. Aroma has notes of dark fruit, citrus, grass, grain and a little honey. Light, semi sweet wheat flavors with some notes of grain and a slight bitter hop character. Body is medium-light with a smooth lasting finish that carries the wheat sweetness well.

Dec 4, 2009 Pour is clear golden straw with a small white head that recedes somewhat slowly. Aroma is lemony citrus, orange, straw, grass, resin, and some nasal warming booze. Aroma is primarily hop oriented with a very light sweet malt note. Flavor is far sweeter than the aroma would suggest. Heather, hay, straw, caramel, bread, and large amounts of citrus hop dominate the flavor. Palate is a bit thin- quite smooth and slippery though. Finish is semi-boozy, crisp, and clean. Very unique take on the style.

Dec 4, 2009 Dark gold pour with with a small white head. Aroma holds a nice hop character, with notes of earth, grapefruit, and orange zest. Also some definite booze presence in the smell, and a bit of grain. Wheat character definitely comes out in the flavor, along with many of the aforementioned hop characteristics. Some caramel and alcohol presence. Pretty nice combination of sweetness and earthy and herbal hops, but lacks a certain distinctiveness. Palate is pretty light overall, goes down smoothly, though the 8% is noticeable. Solid brew overall.

Dec 3, 2009 Bottle shared by JoeTheYounger. Pours a clear straw color with a thin white film. Aroma is fresh fruit, lemon, and that kind of musty first rain of the year smell. Flavor is citrusy with a soapy bitterness and some band aids. Medium bodied with moderate carbonation.
