12 ounce bottle from State Line. Pours a slightly hazy golden with a large frothy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of floral, citrus hops and caramel malt. The taste is caramel malt, floral, spicy, citrusy, pithy hops. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness. About what you’d expect.

Thanks Bill for sending.
Date of birth was 10/20/10 etched in the back of the bottle.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a bronzed slight transparency. Slim finger-ed white speckled head left foamy clingy rings.
The smell had a big sharp zesty piney spice. Gently letting in some light citrus.
The taste was mainly zesty sweet with a slight sharp glossy pine. A mainly piney aftertaste leads to a sweet dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation was sharp like an AIPA but a gentle smoothness as it warmed on my tongue.
Overall, this was a very good offering from Southern Tier. I’d definitely have it again.
