Southern Tier IPA

12 oz. brown bottle. No freshness date seen. Pours out a hazy orange color, with a sticky white head. Aromas are of piney hops, not much else. Flavors are pretty standard fare. Typical American IPA in my book. Nothing special here.

Pours an orange copper with a medium off-white head that fades to a small cap. The aroma is of full grapefruity hops and subtle toffee malt in the background. The hops smell very fresh but lack a resiny or piney quality that would help cut the sweetness. The flavour too is very sweet with moderately acidic, grapefruity hops and a caramel malt backbone. The mouthfeel is chewy and the palate is drying. Strait forward but delicious.

This beer pours a decent head with a nice orange color to it. the head dwindles but still has nice laceing around the glass. It has a nice aroma of pine, hops and grapefruit hops. As you drink it there is some nice strong intense flavors of hops and mild malt with a nice citrus grapefruit flavor on the back of your palate. Personally i like the orange peel on the finish.

From a bottle (different label than in picture). Gold-orange color with nice off-white lacy head. Body and carbonation levels are acceptable. This is definitely a balanced IPA, not overly bitter. Grapefruit and pine is offset by a bit of sweetness. Leaves a great aftertaste. Very good.

Tight! not like your mom. You havn’t experienced an IPA until you’ve chugged one as fast as you can while driving 120 miles per hour in the wrong lane. But I’m beggining to think Indians never really drank this stuff.

This one was a real head turner for me. Bottle: Quick pour yields deep copper with a dense white foamy head. Head settles sloooooowly. Nose is of whole hops, medium aroma. Probably dry hopped. Robust full body is balenced expertly between the quenching malts and lively hops. Welll melded and thought through. Hop finish is strong and rounds quietly down to a noce tingle of a finish. Long lasting sparse legs let you know that a great beer was in the glass not too long ago. Very nice.

bottle from rudolf: pours a clear orangecooper with a small white head that lingers. aroma of grapefruit hops and some caramel malt. flavour is a nice balance of citrus (grapefruit hops) and sweet caramel malts. finishes with a bitter hop that is not overpowering or lasting. very niceand happy with the balance.

Bottle courtesy of eaglefan538. Good pine and citrus hop aromas. Copper body with average head. Flavor of grapefriut and juicy chewy malt hit the spot as they say. A quality refreshment to quench the palate. Thanks Brian.
