Day 350: Farmer's Tan

Name: Farmer's Tan

Brewer: Southern Tier Brewing Co. (Lakewood, NY)

Classification: Imperial Pilsner

Alcohol: 9%

Thoughts: If you've been following the blog you know I have had issues with Southern Tier, but I decided to give them a chance hoping the third time would be a charm. And to tell you the honest truth, it was. Actually, it REALLY was! Farmer's Tan is an amazing Imperial Pilsner that pours a delicious gold with a wispy, white head. The smell was bursting with grassy hops and light malts. It is certainly crisp and refreshing. There is a stronger hop presence than I expected. Sweet and fruity, the apple juice from the smell is definitely there. The finish is bitter from the hops. It is like a really good pilsner, just imperialistic.
