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.

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.

Drank it with the 60 minute and they seemed pretty similar with the bitterness being a bit harsher in this one with a less-well-rounded taste. Both were very enjoyable though.
