Southern Tier is a regional brewer that I never got around to trying. I saw it at the grocery and since I'm kind of in an IPA kick, I decided to give it a try. You have to work a little to head nice head on it, but the first thing I noticed was how ale-y it was. It was creamy and filling, not as much as a Beamish but more than a Goose Island. It also wasn't as hoppy but had a more toasted taste to it. I would not have a problem describing Goose Island's IPA as "crisp", and this wasn't. Which isn't a bad thing. I think it'd be a nice beer to have as the months cool and head into fall, drank with something hot and hearty.
