I got this bottle in a trade with jwc215. Thanks Joe!

This pours a clear light yellow gold with a 1 finger head of foam with some lacing.

The smell has a big fresh hop nose to it. I also get a light graininess.

The taste..well that surprised me. The fresh hop nose that I got is here in the taste but the supporting cast of grain, bready/earthy malt, and nice fruity flavours offsets it and brings it more in to style. Nice. The more sips I take, the less I notice the hop presence and I'm digging it.

Close to medium bodied with a light carbonation, this one is growing on me fast. Drinkability for me is huge on this one. What a delightful brew!

Bottom line: Yum! I had my doubts when I took my first whiff but my first taste *told* me that this is a well crafted ESB. Look, my glass is empty already. Bummer.

Clear straw colored with a close-cropped but durable white cap.
Whiffs of biscuit malts, wet hay, and lemon rinds, then comes the deeper- rooted, unmistakable, resin-drenched reefer and spruce and ruby grapefruit and lime leaf scents of Amarillo.
Enters with a firm pale maltiness, built from English muffins. Only the vaguest glints of stewed pear provide any sort of fruitiness. Brisk through the middle, with a near-lager like persona, except for that sweet cream and doughy yeast influx. The hops hit full of dried grass and lime juice. The British accent of the Goldings cede to the Amarillos, who are still the star, but their leafy resinous and smoky ganja notions are fairly subdued, even if still the featured article.
It packaged in a light body with a steady, but gentle bead. This is built as a hop-forward quaffer. And it succeeds wholly.
Don't put too much emphasis on the label's claim of "quadrupulus humulus lupulus", that isn't what it's about. Fans of Amarillos, (as this instantly reminds of Tyranena's Bitter Woman), or hoppy session brews (like Rogue's Youngers Special Bitter or FFF Pride and Joy) will find a kindred spirit here.

I picked up two 6-packs of this in Columbus, $9.99 each. First off it must be said that this is not an ESB (the style currently entered on BA). This strikes me as an APA or something of that ilk. The beer is crystal clear, golden colored, with a thin 1-finger head that laces onto the glass. The aroma is all amarillo hops, at least as far as I can tell. Based on smell alone I don't think I could distinguish this from Gumballhead (which is not a bad thing). I'm getting lots of citrus like grapefruit, orange, and maybe some non-citrus mango. The taste is nearly equal to the smell, and again it reminds me a lot of Gumballhead. Lots of sweetness from the hops and abundant malt based on mouthfeel, slightly bitter aftertaste which seems to come from the hops again. The body is on the thicker side for such a light looking and smelling beer. This is a big winner from Southern Tier, definitely worth a repeat.

i reckon this is far better on tap than in the bottle, but nevertheless, it pours a mostly clear pumpkin ale color with a khaki head thick as hell and about an inch tall. the nose is a little bland, maybe my bottle is a little older than is optimal, but it smells like wheat and pale malt, with fresh hops on the floral side. the flavor is a little sweet, caramely from the malt but still a little bitter and fruity from some generous hop additions. a little light on the carbonation i thought, but with a nice round medium body and a smooth feel from start to finish. this is a highly drinkable fall beer, despite its higer abv, id gladly down a 6er. its somehow filling and refreshing at the same time, everything a fall beer should be, and nothing that it shouldnt. much prefered on tap though.

A - A perfectly clear, copper colored body topped by a dense head of white foam. The head settles slowly and leaves thick lace on the glass.

S - A warm aroma of toasted malt with some light, pine hops and a hint of red apple.

T - Toasted bread notes of sweet malt up front with a bit of toffee. More bready grain in the middle as some musty hop flavor begins to appear. The hop flavor continues to intensify through the finish as sweet, toasted malt and toffee reach a peak. Moderate bitterness is just enough to balance the malt and lingers in the aftertaste with the musty hop flavor and toasted malt that dries out as it slowly fades away.

M - Medium body, moderate carbonation, and a slightly sweet finish.

D - Very nice, this ESB manages to hit all the right notes and it remains quite drinkable despite being a significantly stronger than average example of the style. Interestingly it has a somewhat American hop aroma, but the hops turn a bit more musty and British in the flavor. The malt character is well done as well; there is a huge note of toasted malt with just the right amount of sweetness to keep it form becoming burnt tasting and cloying in the finish as it has a tendency to do in some drier beers. I would happily recommend this beer and drink it again.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. 6-pack of the 2007 offering purchased at The Village Pump, College Park MD for $8.99

A: A crystal clear yellowish-orange brew that looks fairly light, steady stream of carbonation contributing to a thick, beautiful head that leaves a nice lace as it subsides slowly

S: Hops. This is my first wet hop beer and i think i can tell the difference between a "regular" hop and a wet hopped beer. There's a fairly strong citrus aroma but with a twist - there's some grassy notes in there

T: The balance is in favor of the hops but the grassy characteristics do add to the brew. This is a *very* tasty beer, difficult to put down

M: The carbonation feels good but the stand-out part is the thick, persistent, resiny taste. Thoroughly enjoyable

D: Excellent. I find it difficult to put the glass down. A thirst quencher that doubles up as a sipper, depending on what you are in the mood for.

12 oz bottle poured into a nonic. No date or info.

A - A tall pour unchains a bold head stacking up to three fingers. Light bone in color and well-retained, it leaves broken rings of thick lace. The color is a beautiful clear and well-carbonated golden amber.

S - Flaky biscuit-like English malts provide a pretty sturdy backbone for the plethora of hops on the nose. Floral and citrusy notes touch on dandelion, lemon, and grapefruit giving the aroma a very nice appeal and balance.

T - Good balance continues in to the flavor with a largely earthy, grassy, and dry leaf hop flavor that hints at citrus notes. The malt backing provides good support with a dry, lightly toasted biscuit flavor.

M - Smooth in texture and medium in body, Harvest evokes feelings of fall with it's crisp and dry, moderately bitter finish.

D - A good ESP, in fact, one of my favorites of the style I'd say, it's a nice drinking fall beer that has good balance and a harmonious flavor profile.

Another Southern Tier brew via BeerTruth.

A: Nice light hay yellow color with a big head that dies down to next to nothing. A steady stream of bubbles rise to the top to keep what's left of the head hanging around

S: Wow I have mentioned before and I will say it again next to 3 Floyd's Southern Tier has gone hop crazy. This is a very hopped fall brew. Immediately you can smell the floral hops. There is underlying bisciuty maltiness, but the hops are straightforward. Can't wait to taste.

T: Wow wonderful fall brew. I am not typically a big fan of fall brews, but this one is done right. Surprisingly the malt is up front here where it needs to be. Nice toasty, biscuity malt right at the start. It doesn’t hang around long though before being overtaken by the hops. Nice light citrus and hay hops. Very nice! One of the most complex fall brews I have ever consumed.

M: Light and Sparkling just like you would expect it to be.

D: Yeah, it was a 12 ouncer, but they could bottle this one by the bomber.

Overall: I am sooo impressed with Southern Tier. I was introduced to them thru the Jah-Va which I adored. I told my boy BeerTruth to send me more, and send more he did. He went out of his way to put together a great package of ST brews. I have had several already and have a few to go. All of which have been wonderful. He is in search of a few more for me, once those babies have been shipped I will feel as though I have taken the tour of the best ST has to offer, and believe me I am very impressed.

Bravo ST, for going above and beyond what you would expect a beer to be.

937th Review on BA
Bottle to Pint
12 oz

Bottled 7/28/11
Thanks to @mjtiernan for this one

App- Pours the color of chestnut and amber. A one finger fast receding off white head fell with good lace and cling to a bit of a petri dish head of bubbles.

Smell- A good combination of aromatics but a little small compared to Three Floyds and Fullers. Nice notes of malt, caramel, earthiness, oranges and white pepper.

Taste- More skewed to a malty IPA for me. Still not sold on this style. If you say bitter make it bitter. Well this was tasty with good lush citrus some caramel soft muted malts and a bit of wheat flavor.

Mouth- Medium bodied and medium carbonation. Residual malts with damp orange and a touch of caramel sweet.

Drink- Tasty, but not wowing! I like this in 12oz format. Easy drinking and flavorful. 6.7% is well hidden making a potent beer but smooth none the less.

Growler filled at Big Z beverage in Huntington, NY and served in a standard pint glass.

Clear golden yellow color with a fluffy white head of foam that left a sheet of lacing all down the glass.
The smell is grassy/piney hops.
The taste starts out with a citrus sweetness, similar to a tangerine, before a dry bitterness finishes things off.
Medium bodied with good carbonation.
Moderate abv and good taste makes this brew very drinkable.

A - Pretty nice dark amber, not too dark but little head due to old beer for a holiday season.

S - Smells pretty nice, with an abundance of hops and malts that play together it smells like a party in my glass.

T - Wow almost reminds me of a 2xIPA version of an Oktoberfest. With slight grain and caramel malt along side of some citrus hops, I am enjoying this brew.

M - Medium to light and very drinkable.

D - Wow it seems that ST has got it right on this one. With a nice malt backing the hops it almost makes it as drinkable as 2XIPA but not as much since it is old. Will have to try next years fresh batch.

Yummm-ooo!!! Wow, great beer! Poured with a big, foamy, frothy, thick, white head and good lace. Color is 18 k yellow gold. Aroma is very fresh, citrus hop. Flavor is super fresh hop but not so citrus, more earthy & chewy hop, some malt, and bread. Body is good, a little soft. Carbonation is good. Finish is excellent. Satisfying yet leaves me with a yearning for more, and more, and....

Pours a dark copper-brown with 1/4" of head with nice retention. Very clear with noticeable carbonation. There's a nice mellow citrus smell from the hops in the nose along with some mellow malt. Taste is actually quite hoppy. Nice citrusy hop character up front with a smooth light malt character follows. Well balanced though the hops definitely take center stage here. Mouthfeel is crisp and smooth; very drinkable.

This is a nice alternative to the pumpkin and marzen soaked market that fall brings. It's definitely a hop heads fall beer.

On tap at Al's of Hampden on 9/18/09.

A - Clear golden/amber body with moderate carbonation and one-finger creamy off-white cap that reduced to a quarter inch ring of retention and left some spotty lace around the glass.

S - Fresh wet hops with plenty of citrus notes and a hint of floral characteristics. Malt character suggests sweet caramel and toasted grans. Subtle alcohol notes also enter into the mix as the liquid warmed up a bit. Quite a zesty aroma overall.

T - Melange of fresh, oily hops with a bold citrus character as well as a backing of sappy pine and some floral attributes. This got quite sappy as the liquid reached room temperature.

M - Wet and sticky with a light oily texture and medium body. Carbonation is moderate overall. Subtle alcohol warmth on the palate. Finishes with lingering bitterness on the tongue.

D - This is one flavorful Harvest Ale, especially fresh on tap. It also produced some tasty hop burps. One of the best of its kind for sure.

On tap at Al's of Hampden--nice to have this on tap, for when fresh it is the best harvest ale out there.

A-Brilliant, light golden yellow with a medium bright white head that reduces slightly and deposits spotty lace.

S-FRESH citrus hop smack up front--but not overwhelming. Light touch of spiciness in the background. All of this hop goodness is nicely suppported by a light, but present sweet biscuit aroma.

T-Mmmm, mmmm....FRESH, citrus hops with a touch of spice. Light biscuit malt base simply comes along for the ride. This one is all about the freshness of whole hops!

M-Medium-light to maybe even light bodied. This is fine with me as it is super sharp and crisp with LONG lingering hop bitterness that never becomes annoying as it quickly fades between sips only to be established again with the next quaff!

D-Without a doubt my most favorite harvest ale out there. Fairly low ABV and that sharp citrus hop zing that I love. There must be Amarillo hops in here....my number one hop variety! Simply outstanding and a brew I look forward to enjoying every fall!

Pours a hazy golden straw color with a wispy pure white head that settles into a light ring. The aroma is of nice juicy hops, nice citrus profile, very fresh aroma. Pretty much all hops. The taste is more of the same. A good grapefruit citrus hop flavor, some lemon and pine, and a barely noticable malt body however it does a good job balancing out the hops. The brew has a moderate feel, tingly carbonation and only finishes slightly bitter which is surprising considering all of the hop flavor. This is a very enjoyable brew, probably a bit hoppy for the style but it works well. Recommended.

Served on tap at Rattle N Hum in New York, NY

A: Pours a light to medium copper in color and light amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a finger tall

S: Light to moderate aromas of pine/resin hops with a light amount of caramel malt sweetness.

T: This beer is very well balanced between the malty sweetness and hop bitterness. There is a light amount of caramel malt sweetness with pine/resin and citrus hops flavors. Light amounts of bitterness that fade pretty quickly.

M: Light bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Smooth.

O: This beer is very enjoyable and is very easy to drink - slightly too strong to be sessionable but from a taste/smell perspective I want to have several of these. For some reason, this seems like a great beer for an early fall cool evening.

A 12oz single bottle into a glass, nearing the autumn season.

STHA goes in the glass with a golden semi rusted old penny look with a very dismal cap up top that is a lighter shade of white. No stick.

Being an ESB in style I was expecting a mountain of malt, but it was hops instead. Smell is pretty herbal with some pine backing and quite a bit of earf. The malt peeks out with some bisc.

Taste is opposite for an ESB as the hops take center stage. It's not west coast citrusy but more earthy with pine, grass and floral ability. Any citrus from the green guys is drowned out by these elements. Malt makes a small play and narrowly balances the playing field, although a lot of grass in aftertaste.

Not as smooth as ESB's off the pump at Memphis taproom, or the bottle for that matter, but im not docking points here as im not a fan of that shit anyway. Body is a step up from light with some bubbles and life on the tounge. Im not digging the aftertaste as it's long.

Not really an ESB IMO but it's all good by me, hoppy pale ale with English malt is what im thinking. Glad I found this within a month of bottling as it's quite delicious and flavorful in it's own Southern Tier way without all the alcohol. I would do a sixer of this on a Sunday in a second.

This beer is a clear golden color with a white-ish head. It's a malty, lightly hopped smell, with some fresh earth, grain, and fruit (peach and apricot, maybe). The taste is very well balanced. Some toasted sweetness in the front, followed by a hop bitterness...some herbal flavors. Interesting beer, very drinkable and full in flavor.

Pours an autumnal rusty-colored leaf, while a slight, off-white head sits above the liquid. Dots and rounded bleeps and bloops of lace splatter the glass.

This is a hopped-up, fresh, clean, breezy aroma that would never be mistaken for an English ESB. Reminds me of Three Floyds' "ESB" (Lord Admiral Nelson) and several non-"ESB" beers by Surly maybe. Just a super-fragrant, fruity, clean (that word again) hop-centric nose. Simple, a bit vinous, and with only the slightest hint of grain, and that also being clean and straightforward. No bigness or heaviness in sight (smell).

Taste is nearly astringent in its bitterness. A nice bitterness, for sure, being a meeting point between citrus peel (lemon, lime), and a super-earthy, not harsh but strained sort of graininess, and the most bitter nut flavor. I like, but unlike all higher gravity Southern Tier bombers, could never fully enjoy a bomber size of THIS, which is why I'm glad it comes in 12 oz. bottles.

Nice smooth yet bubbly, tickling, generously carbonated texture. Between the astringent citrus finish and the feel, it takes me back to that standard of U.S. standards, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, in the feel department, and in some ways taste, too.

Funny, this one pleases on every level although falls behind just a couple steps where Southern Tier usually excels: taste. Just a little too one-dimensional. And who the hell called this an ESB? Someone at Southern Tier? Really? Do I need to crawl to their website to find out? Nah, I won't bother, but it's not an ESB even though it's bitter. But quite good for what it is, whatever it is. (Somewhere between an American west coast amber and pale ale hybrid? Far away from England, that's for sure.)

This beer pours a clear light golden color. The head is one inch in height, and recedes quickly into a small cap of lacing. The aroma is of pine resin, and fresh grapefruit. It is so fresh smelling it makes me feel as though I am actually in a forest of pine and grapefruit trees. The taste is similar in character, but not as strong as the aroma. There is also a hint of orange in the finish. Bitterness is well integrated. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Overall, this is a fine beer that I would surely drink again.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a 20oz imperial pint. Thanks to HeatherAnn for the assist!

A: Pours a crystal-clear, pale-golden color that's capped by a bubbly/frothy, slightly off-white head that seems to retain for ages. As the glass drains, ropey sheets of sticky lace are left behind.

S: Greeted immediately by strong grapefruit/lemon aromas which is followed closely by some toasted and slightly sweet malt. Biscuits. Aroma also contains elements of pine and cut grass. Was expecting mild ESB aromas and was caught off guard by the level of hops coming from this.

T: See above. All of the aforementioned hop qualities are present here (grapefruit, pine, lemon, fresh cut grass...) and the toasted, sweet, and bready malt keeps everything in proper order.

M: Starts off very sticky and oily. The middle takes on a slightly thick and rounded maltiness that seagues into a dry, spicy, and bitter hoppy finish.

D: What a nice surprise. The listed style of ESB had me expecting one thing and this delivered something completely different. I like surprises!

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, bottled on 7/17/2012. Pours slightly hazy golden orange color with a nice 1-2 finger dense off white head with excellent retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty foamy lacing clings down the glass. Aromas of caramel, grapefruit, orange zest, toast, biscuit, nuttiness, floral, grass, and light herbal spiciness. Damn nice aromas with good balance, strength, and complexity. Taste of caramel, grapefruit, orange zest, toast, biscuit, nuttiness, pine, floral, grass, and herbal spiciness. Fair amount of pine bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of caramel, citrus, pine, toast, biscuit, nuttiness, floral, and herbal spiciness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice flavor complexity and balance; with a great malt/hop bitterness balance; zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a fairly creamy and crisp mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with hardly any warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is an excellent ESB! Great malt/hop flavor balance and complexity; and extremely smooth to drink for the ABV level. Definitely one of the best ESBs I have had. Highly enjoyable offering.

Appearance - has a golden straw color with good clarity. A solid finger of head forms up, creamy with some cratering and good good sticky lace.

Aroma - the fresh pine jumps out of the bottle and glass. Resiny, intense, and very appealing.

Taste - the biscuity malt is tasty albeit slightly lacking in depth. The hops have a light b.o. element and a good piny dimension as in the nose. Not a whole bunch else. A medicinal taste begins to build but gets diluted on the way. Instead, there is just a good, simple but fairly intense, fruity hop flavor from start to finish. Ends with a nice malt/hop balance.

Mouthfeel - crisply carbonated, slightly thin body.

Drinkability - a tasty ale, a little much for extended sessions but worth a sixer.
