Another good APA from southern tier. There isn't anything about this beer that stands out as excellent, but everything works together very well. There is a noticeable amount of hop flavor and bitterness, but it is far from hoppy. Easy drinking. What a basic APA should be.

DL and JK bought just one bottle to try; as usual Southern Tier, which is obviously an excellent brewery, made another delicious ale -- and nice to try their version of a straight-up APA. Well, DL said it reminded him of a Pils,it is crisp and refreshing that way, yes like a summer ale, and I see that other reviewers here said the same. It is not very distinctive, however, so I prob. wouldn't go out of my way to purchase it; but it's certainly very drinkable! Why are there so few reviews here, btw?? It must not be easily acquired, out of state.

 

 

 

 

Really good American ale. Maybe it has something to with their "bottle conditioning."Not really sure how that works. I guess they let the final fermentation occur in the bottle. Super refreshing. Great summer ale!
