Southern Tier IPA

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.

Hazy amber gold with bubbbly head that disappears with some lace. Floral, candy sweet grapefruit, pine and a little resin on the nose. Bright and sweet on the tip of the tongue, Hop bitterness opens up with a piney, grassy, citrussy bitterness. Finishes clean with a prickly grassy bitterness on the flat of the tongue, and peppery alcohol. A very nice easy drinking ipa, much less hop character than southern tiers other ipa’s. Very good, but doesn’t stand out.

Bottle at 3 Små Rum in Gothenburg, April 2009. Nice hoppy aroma and a pleasant bitter taste with hops and caramel. The finish was crisp.

Bottle. Poured medium orange with medium white head. Little lacing. Full piney, citrusy aroma. Tangerine, hop and a bit of malt flavour. Lasting hop finish. Refreshing after a busy day

Bottle: Poured an amber color with a white head. The aroma was floral hops. The flavor is citrus, hops, and flowers. Overall, an above average IPA.

Bottle from Cracked Kettle. Bold orange with lasting head. Sweet and malty nose with ginger notes. Taste of malts, lots of grapefruit and hops. Dry and then alcy finish. Nice one.

12 oz bottle. Pours a nice clear amber color. Thick pearly head. Aroma is very floral. Flavor is a nice grapefruit and hops, with a very crisp finish. A great IPA.
