unEarthly poured a semi-hazy, golden orange color with almost no head.  The aroma has some real ripe fruit, with a huge blast of hops.  The body is creamy and smooth, with a decent amount of malt and strong sweetness from fruity esters.  The hops start to show through in the middle and become stronger which lead to a really hoppy finish that throughly dries out the palate.  Overall, this is a a very, very good beer.  unEarthly is wonderfully balanced, excellent example of what an "Imperial" beer should be.  The beer is smooth, has plenty of flavor, and the alcohol is abrely noticeable.  The label reccomends that unEarthly should be served at 42 degrees which is a little colder than most craft brews but is the perfect temperature for this beer.  A great beer from Southern Tier.     

The ultimate resource for beer drinkers!
