  Phin and Matt's poured a a gold color with a small, white head.  The nose was malty and the malt was even more apparent on the first sip.  The middle is smooth and there are some hops on the finish.  I believe that Southern Tier is trying to create a session beer that does not sacrifice the great taste of some of the higher ABV beers, but is not as rich and overwhelming.  Overall, I love their idea and I like this beer, but I still think it is lacking just a little something right in the middle. 

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
