Southern Tier Unearthly Imperial India Pale Ale @ Clark Street Ale House


Appearance: Light orange, translucent, medium foamy head

Smell: bitter, some fruit (orange? peach?)

Taste: very fruity, with an old-cheese aftertaste


Mouthfeel: some lingering lacing, even coating

Drinkability: Well, it depends on how fond of moldy cheese one is. It's plenty smooth, but that aftertaste is a jarring bolt upright. I couldn't handle more than one of these in a row, and I doubt I'll seek another out anytime soon.


Serving type: tap

Grade: D


From the brewer:

Unearthly is a manifestation of the brewer’s craft; skillfully balancing art and the forces of nature to produce a divine liquid. Delicately pour a taste into a fluted glass. Smell the enchanting aromas of the hops waft forward as your first sip divulges this beer’s fervent soul. To underestimate Unearthly is to trifle with the mysteries of the universe, so please consume wisely. 9.8% abv • 15.6ÂșL • Imperial India Pale Ale • 22 oz / 1/2 keg / 1/6 keg"
