Commercial Description:
IPA stands for India Pale Ale and ours is an American version of the classic style. IPA’s namesake lies in its colonial roots. British soldiers on their way to India dark a lot of beer, but found it would go stale on the long voyages. Meanwhile, brewers knew that by adding more hops, the beer would stay fresh. Voila! A new style was born and it is one we are proud to brew. Southern Tier IPA is a triple-hopped on its journey to your glass for a fully aromatic experience.

Pours a golden copper, creamy off-white head with excellent lacing. Aroma is hoppy, pine and a little citrus. The flavor is hops, bitter, pine, grapefruit, lasting on the tongue. A decent IPA.

Great grassy, citrus hopping with a real nice bitter finish but there’s a little something missing here which keeps this from being one of the great A.P.A.s. I hate to say this but it’s a little too focused on the hops without quite enough backbone. Still worth trying. A few times.

Copper color with a medium head. Orangey aroma with some light pine and sweet caramel malt. The hop profile switches in the flavor, favoring pine over citrus. Moderately acidic and a little vinous. Solid IPA.

On tap at the Golden Rail. Pours a clear dark amber with a faint white head. Citrus hops, with a piney and pineapple sweetness. Medium bodied with a sweet citrus hop note. Finishes with a nice grapefruit bitter.

Bottle. Great medium dark orange amber with slight hue, good lacing. Some sediment. Nose is of fresh florals, just cut, also has notes of caramel. Mouth is aggressively floral and spicy with some notes of cilantro and celery. Ripe and clean carbonation. Long bitter dry burn of a finish. Very big for the breweries regular IPA. For the style, excellent.

Taste 2/9 bottle. Looks: Caramel body with a thick top. Aroma: Nice hop blend aroma. Taste: Floral and citrus hops with spice. Beginning and finish are good, just a little unfocused in the middle.
