Southern Tier Brewing CO. - Farmers Tan Imperial Pale Ale Review




Type: Imperial Pale Ale

ABV: 9%

Packaging: 22oz. Bottle

Sight: Crystal clear bright yellow with a slight hue of orange is topped with a fluffy white head that starts an inch thick and wanes to a thin film on the surface

Aroma: Sweetness of Grapefruit is the dominant pop on first breath. Other citrus come through(lemon and light orange), along with a bit of breadiness.

Taste: Grapefruit and wheat come through strong...Almost sweet and tingly-dry enough to remind me of a white wine. The alcohol of 9% is there but not as strong as you might think...It is subtle and holds the tongue well.

Overall: The easiest way to describe this beer is like this..."A lemonhead in a shot of pure-grain"...Maybe not that dramatic but you get the picture. Very citrusy and slightly bready. Very refreshing, and although alcoholie(sp.)it still is definitely a sessionable beer(mostly because of the light to medium body). Beware though of that 9% alcohol, it might bite you in the butt.

Score: 8.5/10
