Brewed By/In: Southern Tier Brewing Company / Lakewood, NY
ABV: 6.7%
Best Served In: English Pint
Characteristics: Bitter, piney aromas. Golden color. Initial hoppy hits to the palate, but cuts to a dry, fruity (mostly grapefruit) finish. Fleeting head - barely lasted 30 seconds from the bottle. Zippy carbonation but with thin, unsatisfying mouthfeel.
Food-pairing: Spinach salads with a citrus/honey dressing.
Overall: 7.5 - not terrible, but not incredibly eventful. Really enjoyed the carbonation. Certainly an extra special bitter as those notes flow from scent to swallow.
Thought that this was an appropriate finish to the fall as I begin to collect my winter selections. Let's raise a glass to B101's all Christmas, all the time. Slainte!
