My mom was in town visiting my little Emerson and after a few errands we decided it would be a good idea to stop at the Mews for lunch. While I was sitting there trying to decide what beer to have I remembered my buddy Kevin recommending the Southern Tier 2X IPA.
- Appearance: Poured a nice golden amber color with a light frothy head that disappeared quickly
- Smell: Probably my favorite part, citrus fruit, (oranges and grapefruit) and slight piney hoppy aroma
- Taste: Surprisingly balanced in flavor considering the overpowering citrus aroma. Malty and grainy at first however it quickly transforms and the citrus hops and piney hops come through finishing with a decent amount of bitterness and a very piney hoppy aftertaste.
- Feel: Medium bodied, with a medium amount of carbonation.
- Overall: This beer is definitely for the IPA lover and not for the casual beer drinker. If you haven't had and IPA before I wouldn't start with this. Not my favorite IPA however it has decent drinkability and I would buy it again. I would have liked the citrus hop flavor to come through a bit more and a little less of a bite on the finish. Cheers!
