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.

A hazy orange pour with small white head. Sweet floral and citrus hop aroma. It has a lively mouthfeel, grassy flavor, and long bitter finish.

355ml bottle from De Molen beer shop. Copper amber colour. Pretty decent IPA, Good piney hoppy aroma, ok malts in the middle, bit of unsubtle alcohol, then more leafy piney hops on the end. Just something not quite smooth about it, maybe just a bit too boozy?? Some juicy malts. Good aroma, decent attempt, but as I say, the heat is just a bit obvious.

Bottle... Poured a clear orange with a white head. Aroma of hops both floral and bittering with noticeable malts creating a dark sweetness. Very balanced IPA, vibrant, sweet, grassy, and earthy. Finished with a bouquet of hops and sweet fruits.

I don’t know how I haven’t rated this beer before. Pours copper with an small off white head. Aroma of citrus and grassy hops. Decent malt balance with some nice bitterness at the end. Solid IPA.

Golden pour with an off-white moderate head. Decent amount of hops, spice, and citrus. Crisp and dry with the hops dominating the flavor. Very good.

Bottle pours clear copper color with off white head. Aroma is grass, flowery hops, and caramel malt. Luscious mouthfeel. Flavors are typical IPA with grass and some lemon with a semi sweet finish. A decent brew.

Bottle, 12 fl. oz. Pours a golden beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is hops with notes of sweetness. The flavor is hops with citrus and grapefruit. The palate leaves good bitterness. Overall a really good beer.

12oz - Large floral nose, good gold color, nice lace, enough malt to support a strong hop hit. One of the better IPAs, and for me likely traveled the least.
