Southern Tier 2XONE

X marks the spot

Poured into pint glass

A: Outstanding. Yellowish copper I guess with floating sediment.

S: Not much to get excited about. Bready malts, sugar, caramel. Hops on the nose similar to other pale ales.

T: Sweet and tasty, not bad . . .very drinkable with a nice bitter finish

M: light bodied, ok.

O: A good American Pale Ale . . . Not great. Southern Tier knows how to brew solid beer and 2XONE is another solid beer. I probably won't revisit this one but I would love to see it canned and the abv dropped a tad.

A: a hazy burnt orange color with some lovely caramel notes. Not much head, only a thin white foam

S: ripe mango, blood orange, orange zest, sticky caramel, lemongrass, sweet malts, fresh dough, light pineapple

T: sweet tropical fruits upfront- mango, passionfruit, papaya, pineapple. Those are followed by a big malt sweetness and some nice light toffee notes. Behind that is some light bitterness: a citrusy bitterness that works nicely with the malts

M: on the fuller side of medium. Light carbonation

O: really impressed with this. This has great tropical fruit notes, and excellent use of malts. It's on the sweeter side for the style, which I absolutely love. If you like the tropical fruit flavors, you will love this. They take the stage over bitterness

Initial pour produces a sort of uneven head, but it eventually settles with a nice ring that laces nicely. Body is solid, too. Malty in the aroma and taste. The issue for me is that it is not too strong in either the aroma or taste department. Again, the body is solid, so I would be very content with this if my other options were limited. But all things being otherwise equal, the taste of this is too bland.
