This beer sports an awesome floral nose. Very hoppy and strong but smoooooth... no bitter taste at all. Lots of hops in this one, florally taste, but not as much as another super hoppy brew, 120 Minute IPA. There is a tasty sweetness like pumpkin pie? Not exactly pumpkin taste though. This is another great cold day warmer-upper. There is again a slight citrus taste, maybe a hint of grapefruit. Despite the super hopping of this beer, no bitter after tatse. The after taste grew a bit as drank the beer, but still very minor. 11% alcohol by volume, this baby is sold in 22 oz. bottles. Checking the Southern Tier website this concoction clocks in at 153 IBU's!!! Holy crap! That is unheard of! The biggest I had heard before this was 120 IBU's in the 120 Minute IPA from Dogfish Head. Either way, another success for Southern Tier Brewing. To quote Borat Sagdiyev, "ahhh, much success!"
Overall beer rating 3 beer bottles out of 4.

How can it have 153 IBU's but not be bitter.
By definition, an IBU is a measurment of bitterness.
