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.

The standard to which IPA brewers should aspire to. I’ve never been a huge fan of IPA’s (thanks for you Alexander Keith!), but this was very pleasant in every regard and I am now interested in trying other IPA’s far more than before. Hope you guys like hoppy beers, wow.

Pours a clear golden color with light off white head. Aroma is light citrus and malt with aromas of sugar cookie dough. Taste is mild citrus, caramel and again, sweet bread or sugar cookie malt. Moderate carbonation and easy finish. A good IPA.

Pours a bubbly golden color with a medium frothy white head that leaves a lot of webbed lacing. Aroma is amarillo, vanilla, grass, and piney hops. Taste is amarillo, grassy and piney hops, and leaves a bitter finish. A solid brew.

12oz bottle. Pours a mostly clear light orange amber with a small off white head. Good pine and citrus on the nose. flavor carried a nice balance of hops and sweet malt. Finish was slightly bitter, clean and crisp.

At Rhino. Deep honey gold with some haze. Bright tropical fruit hops. A happy hoppy nose with mango, papaya, and pineapple. Soft carbonation. Slight chewiness. The flavor of the hops are earthier than the nose tells. Lots of pine. Solid malt backbone asserts itself very well. Slightly roasty, even. Nice.

Poured an amber color with an off white head. Aroma was of a good amount of citreusy hops and some nice sweet notes as well. Flavor was averagely hopped, not overly bitter, but enough to make it a good ipa

Hoppy nose, good hoppiness up front with a balanced finish... This is not an aggressive IPA, not excessively hoppy, doesnt finish excessively malty, it’s a good ipa that doesnt feel the need to push any boundries...

Pours orange with a white head. Aroma of hops, citrus, and some yeast. Taste is very hoppy, without being too bitter. Nice flavor backed very well by the malts. Good carbonation make this beer easy to drink. Nothing overly amazing, but damned tasty.
