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.

tkrjukoff (2286) - SWEDEN - DEC 27, 2011

wlajwl (1479) - Iowa, USA - DEC 21, 2011
In aroma its a mix of grapefruit/citrus and a balanced malt profile. The flavor is dry and hoppy up front with an underlying sweetness to it. A bit sweeter than most IPAs but decent all around.

DrinkEmUpJones (540) - Georgia, USA - DEC 20, 2011
Semi-clear golden yellow color with great white lacing. A musky and yeasty aroma with some hints of lemon. A little funky on the palate but a slight creaminess that makes this IPA quite unique. There is some lemon on the palate and the hops are relatively mild. I could dig this beer at most times of the year. There is also a little bit of a lingering of sweetness.

shrubber85 (4843) - Greenville, Indiana, USA - DEC 17, 2011
Bottle. Slightly sour malt and orange peel/pine hops aroma. Golden yellow color with moderate head. Light barley malt and lightly (especially for an IPA) bitter orange peel flavor. An okay beer but really pretty underwhelming.

BenH (528) - Edinburgh, SCOTLAND - DEC 11, 2011
From bottle. Pours amber orange with decent white head. Nice hop aroma, quite floral. Resinous hop taste with little malt present. Bitter finish. An excellent well rounded ipa

blafa (447) - Helsingborg, SWEDEN - DEC 7, 2011
Draught at Bishop Arms - Mollbergs. Helsingborg, November 2011.
Pours clear orange with a creamy vanishing head. Hoppy aromas with sweet caramel and peaches, some overripe fruits and grass. To sweet and too malty. Long sweet malty flavour with some bitter hops. To sweet for me, Southern Tiers hoppy ales doesn’t work for me.

PackPride (56) - Raleigh, North Carolina, USA - DEC 1, 2011
Aroma is of alcohol and citrus. Appearance pours a nice amber color with a white head. Taste is of citrus, herbs. Overall a very good beer.
