850th Ratebeer rating – Southern Tier Hoppe

While I have not been keeping this site up to date lately, I have not stopped drinking/collecting beer. I was excited to make my 850th Ratebeer rating this afternoon… Southern Tier Brewing Company’s Hoppe Imperial Pale Ale.

This beer pours a hazy orange/amber in color with a small white head that quickly fades. Not much carbonation. Aroma is decent mix of citrus/grapefruit hops and slightly sweet maltiness. Flavor is a nicely balanced mix of grassy and citrus hops and a goodly amount of caramel malts. Slight sweet until the hop bitterness kicks in. I liked this one…
