Description
For us, good living means exploring – the opposite of “comfortable.” It’s not just about craft, but about questing, questioning, transforming “What If” into “Here’s How,” by way of an experiment so crazy, it just might work.

Exploration is the line from local beer maker to World-Class Brewer. It’s a pioneer impulse, and it sets the authentic, rural heartbeat of Southern Tier. It’s how we got here. And by the time others catch up, it’ll be why we’re already somewhere else.

From our wildly innovative founder, Phin DeMink, who’s still a daily inspiration, to the new generation of brewers, thinkers, and drinkers who share our pursuit of what’s next, we keep honing the creative edge of brewing discovery.

So this is an open invitation, to anyone who gives a damn about the difference between a well-crafted beer and a stunningly satisfying encounter with the new. Join us on the road less traveled.

Aromas are caramel, pumpkin spice, floral. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, mildly sweet and add in some metallic. Fairly subdued for a pumpkin beer and that's nice.

From a can pour is dirty hazy pale. Slight blackberry nose. First taste impression is that its just another dull fruit beer with some lemonade added to help increase the tartness. Lemonade seems like an adjunct afterthought in this one. Although it has decent carbonation and the lemon helps out with the texture, its still can't hide that its a dull fruit beer. It never recovers. In the middle, I'm wondering where is the blackberry? Yes, there was a blackberry aroma but its totally lacking in the taste, the lemonade is the overriding factor here. Well, in the end I can tell there is some beer in here. Oh well, on the finish, I guess it aint too bad but instead of ST trying to make a thousand different beers and trying to sell them, even if they are half ass; they should try to focus on what they do best. Anybody know what that is?
