My grading scale

It is subjective, but I think you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from:

1-3 "Horrible" : NEVER BUY THIS!!!! (Or buy it just to see what crappy beer tastes like.)

4-5 "Ok" : These beers need a little work. Usually from a company known for another type of brew.

6-7 "Good": It's ok, for now.

8-9 "Great" : Try this at least once, you'll be happy you did :D

10!!!!! "Godly" = This is attainable, but the most subjective of all grades. If I ever give a beer a 10 it'll be because it blows your mind.

Southern Tier Un*Earthly Imperial IPA

I needed to find a sharp tasting, and I saw this imperial IPA.  I'm a slight hippy, in an engineering program hoping to work for a company in a field that's earth friendly.  I do get excited about this stuff.

Look/Pour/Smell - HOPS!!! It's nice and heavy look as the bubbles sink.  The head is strong.  The smell is nice and sweet.

Taste - For how intimidating the hops smell, the malt is so strong, especially in this 11% alcohol, that they really balance themselves.  The hops are sweet, citrus, and pine which is the full combination.

Rating - 9
This is a really great IPA, and it's in a hotly fought genre of IPAs.  It will not let you down.
