Beer I Actually Like

Today I figured I would review a beer that I have not only sampled, but enjoyed, and hold in a high regard! Ain't that some shit?

Southern Tier Imperial Pumking Ale

Price: About $7


This beer is amazing, even though I'm a bit ahead of schedule. It's creamy, delicious, and pays homage to a pagan Celtic spirit, which is always fun. To get in the early Halloween spirit, I watched the Lars von Trier movie "Antichrist" and drank this beer which was pretty intense. So now, to come down a bit, I'm having a Foster's and watching The Big Lebowski.

                                                         "FILL THIS WITH BEER"

Anyway, I've blindly enjoyed pretty much every beer I've had from Southern Tier, and this one was no exception. This might be the best pumpkin beer I've ever had, it's not too sweet, it doesn't have heavy nutmeg flavor, and it gets you good and crunk like 2002 era Lil Jon.

                                                  some things that are not dead, should be

The main problem I find with most types of pumpkin beer is the aforementioned heinous amounts of nutmeg that is usually crammed into said beer. This beer has more of a caramel flavor, and light carbonation. Also, the color is pretty.

                                                      If you drink too much.... pumpkins.

Overall, I figured it was a fun idea to review a quality beer. Southern Tier is an amazing brewing company, I might just have to review their 2X IPA. Which means.... drinking.
