Southern Tier IPA

In general , I think this is a very good IPA. Very drinkable. The hop aromas where outstanding. Would recommend to any IPA lovers.

12 oz bottle. Golden with amber hues and a big white head. Strong floral hop aroma. Solid maltiness behind the good hop bitterness. Lingering bitter finish.

pours cloudy amber with thin head. mostly air, with perhaps a hint of citrus. not bitter, soft citrus taste. not offensive, just not exciting. the finish is filling. i can’t point to any specific failure in this beer. it just seemed pretty tame to me for an ipa.

May 2007, Updated June 2008 - Pour was golden yellow with one finger head and outstanding lacing. Aroma of grapefruit/citrus hops. Flavor was a nice blend of sweet citrus with some mild grassy notes. Citrus was primarily grapefruit with some orangey notes. Sweet and not overly bitter, but with a crisp bite at the end. Medium/high level of hop bitterness. Thick, oily mouthfeel was the most memorable aspect, but also might keep this from great drinkability.

Heres an IPA i really enjoyed. Rusty amber color. moderate lacing. Interesting nose of floral hops. Very sweet flavor. Well balanced with a clean finish.

Bottle at just the right temperature in a pilsner gtulip glass. Light red straw color fairly clear with very little head, less than a quarter inch. Also only a slight hops aroma. Dry straightforward hops, not too aromatic, some slight hint of mint and obvious alcohol. Thirst quenching, with a full pallette and only a slight bitter aftertaste. A big hop beer for sure.

This would best be called a pale ale, as it lacked the hoppiness of an IPA. Mild hops, fairly crisp and smooth, but overall, forgettable at best.

also had this with maniac. a very nice ipa well balanced between the piney hops and malt with a nice clean finish. the most balanced ipa i have had so far, not as strong as some but nice. pours a clear copper color with a nice fluffy head, good lacing, and carbonation.
