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.

I’ve already reviewed 2 southern tier APAs today, this is more of the same but a little bigger. I like my pale ales with a little more malt backbone. This one is just ok.

12 oz bottle from shadey. Clear orange amber color with med white head. Aroma was a lot of orange and other citrus hops with caramel and sweet malt. Flavor was mildly citrus bitterness with a mild pine finish, also pretty hefty malt backbone to balance out this beer pretty well. Medium body with low carb. Pretty nice American style IPA. I’m not sure me and Drewbeerme got a bottle from the same six pack though because mine smelled and tasted fine.

Muchos gracias shadey. Pours a copper amber with a thin yellowish head. Very nice nose. Sweet hops, cascades make sense, peach/apricot fruit, and an almost peppery aroma. The flavor was a bit weak, mild bitterness, some sweetness, and mild fruit. Tasted like the nose toned down a lot. The palate was weak for an IPA.

12oz bottle via shadey shared with bikesandbeer. Orange amber with a thick creamy tan head that has since faded since I ran away from the computer. Light and sweet hoppy nose. Taste is sweet, lightly hoppy and a very subtle bitterness. This is a pretty tasty IPA, not bad at all.

Pour is copper with a smallish light tan head. Aroma has muddled caramel malt, orange / pine hops and some sweetness. The flavor is seet caramel malt, citrus and pine. A bit more bitter finish. Medium bodied with medium carbonation. Decent American IPA.
