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 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.

Bottle. Pours a clear golden orange with a fizzy head. Aroma of citrusy hops, with earthy/grassy notes. The flavor is nicely hoppy; bitter, with citrus and pine notes. A bit of a soapy aftertaste, but not too bad. A solid IPA.

12oz bottle from Badbeer. Pours hazy amber with a moderate size white head, spider web lace. Smells earthy and resiny hoppy, lemony citrus with a hint of some sweet malts. Tastes resiny and lemony hoppy, very tasty with some lingering, sweet malt flavors. Medium body, good carbonation.

From bottle. Part of a Dayton Beer Tasting July event. Poured amber with a high frothy head. Aromas of floral hops and citrus. Starts out with stone fruit flavors mixing onto toffee and caramel. Good finish.

Bottle. Good caramelly aroma. Almost clear copper colour. Small stable white head. Good grassy, spicy and caramelly hop flavour. Slightly sweet, but in OK balance.

Appearance and aroma are true to the IPA style. This beer is an amber/yellow color, with a stong white head. The aroma is mainly of earthy, floral hops. Some malt sweetnes is evident. The flavor is not a strong as i might have thought. Still, it is a good balance of floral, somewhat piney hops, and malt sweetness. The brew has a medium mouthfeel. The finish is a lingering, pleasing montage of hops, not citrus, but piney, floral, earthy hops. Solid IPA overall.

Bottle. This stuff is a treat. Do not serve too cold. Has a nice frothy head, amber colour. This bottle is fragrant: floral aromas in the hops, orange zest, bread. Mouthfeel is medium, pleasant. Tastes fresh. Flavour starts with apricot, peach and grapefruit, then there is hop bitterness, biscuit, toffee, then a bitter finish.
