look: 3 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5

A&S - Pours a clear gold with a finger of white head with light lacing. Standard IPA aromas, with nothing jumping out at you. You got some light malt, some carmel tones, fresh citrus and earthy hops, as well as some sweet fruit.

T&M - Hits fizzy with a really attractive carmel, malty front with a hint of alcohol. Some fresh juicy hop flavor comes through a bit but no bitterness is present at this point. The beer then settles down and the bitterness begins to grow. Finish is very bitter and smokey, which takes away from the malty backbone and throws off the drinkability/mouthfeel.

O - A good light bodied IPA that somehow comes in at 7.3. Its very pleasant and juicy but that overly bitter finish threw me off. I look forward to the DIPA as the extra malt will hopefully compliment the fruity hop flavor they had going. If it was locally distributed i'd probably buy it every so often, however it is nothing I would go out of my way for. Try it if you can find it, and definitely try everything else Southern Tier has to offer! Cheers!

Extremely easy to drink. Perfect balance, clean taste, no heaviness. Poured from a bottle into a tall glass -- medium head, nice, light amber appearance, not too fizzy. No distinctive aroma. The bitterness is just right, refreshing and stimulating. It's just lacking some heft or intensity -- the aftertaste is a bit watery .
