Lemon Drop Sun
Southern Tier Brewing Company

 

 

Lemon Drop Sun brewed by Southern Tier Brewing Company, with an ABV 5.10% This American Pale Wheat Ale pours out of a 12oz glass bottle into a pint beer glass. There is a nice golden amber color with a nice white head, the head sticks around for awhile. Nice amount of lacing to this brew, it sticks to the side of the glass well. The smell of Lemon Drop Sun is rich with lemon citrus, with hop bitterness, with earthy grains and malts. There is a lot going in this brew so far, it is really inviting. Now for the taste , it is bold with flavors. You first pick up on the lemon them a easy going hop bitterness with earthy grains and malts. There is nothing overpowering about this brew, it has a super nice balance to it. It goes down nice an some. This brew would go nice on a hot summer day or with lunch. The body of Lemon Drop Sun is a solid medium. Just the right amount of lemon and hops. The mouth feel is Bold, Rich, Lemon, Hoppy, Clean, and Refreshing. Overall I'm going to give Lemon Drop Sun a 4.25 out of 5. I would definitely look this brew up again giving the opportunity to. Southern Tier Brewing Company, did a real nice job with American Pale Wheat Ale.

 

Poured out of a 12 oz bottle into one of my weizen glasses, this beer pours a clear, light to medium golden color with lots of streams of little bubbles fairly rapidly and continuously rising to the beer's surface. Has a big white head well over an inch thick when first poured. Settles eventually to a very thick ring lining the inside of the glass along with a thick surface coating of foam and pretty good lacing. Aromas of some bready, grainy malts, some wheat, along with some grassyness and certainly some lemon. The taste is pretty much the same, with some bready, grainy malts along with definite wheat and certainly some citrus lemon. Not much discernible hops here, just a slight bitterness. An okay flavor profile overall, but not great. Has a fairly crisp, surprisingly smooth and slightly frothy, medium bodied mouthfeel with moderate carbonation. Has a clean finish with a lemony aftertaste. Not a bad summertime beer.

12oz bottle into a tulip. DOB 3/12/18, so a little over 3 months old.

careful pour produces a golden yellow body with medium carbonation. The small but persistent white head leaves a little lacing.

there is a definite aroma of lemon.

the combination of lemon, wheat, and hay, is, to this palate, too much to the lemon side, and dries out the mouth.

mouth is medium, finish is dry & lemony.

overall, the balance doesn't work well for me. it does get a little easier later in the drink, but not one i would chose again. slamming the rest of the six pack after cutting the grass is the likely fate of this beer.

 

 

 

Bright, slightly crisp yellow beer with a light touch of lemon no head. Light aromatic lemon sent smells slightly heavier than typical yellow beers. Good all night beer or beer pong beer. Better than the lighter domestic beers for sure. Would buy again. Slight Coronaesque vibe. Goes down smooth with no filling sensation.
