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.

A solid IPA. Quite carbonated, hoppy on the nose. Medium malty body and medium to high level hops. Not too bitter. Quite refreshing.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Nicely balanced and very drinkable for an IPA... well done, Southern Tier!

Pours dark amber with a white head. Aroma is lots of hop, citrus, floral, and a little maltiness. Flavor is nice piney hops with a good bit of malt to balance things.

What in the hell? This is fucking amazing! Who in the hell do these folk think they are? Obviously i have never had to many good IPA’s, but this is fucking incredible! It poured out a golden orange, light yellow head. Smellt of grass, sweet bread dough, marijuana, and tasted just the same! The balance was perfect, it went down so well. Cheers to a well crafted beer!

Bottle. Nice copper color with descent head that leaves some lace. Citrusy piney hops with doughy malt character on the nose. Flavor is refreshing and balanced with resinous hops but smooth, not really overwhelmingly biting. Nice oake malt backbone too. A bit of booze in there too. Medium body with soft carbonation. Overall: solid.

Amber color with medium white head. Aroma of malt and pepper. Nice body, good bitter fresh hop flavor throughout with a long lasting bitter finish. Not too over the top.
