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.

This beer pours a maroon color with orange highlights that has a clear body and leaves a thick tan head that leaves this beer quickly. The aroma is very faint, some caramel sweetness, and a weak presence of hops aroma. The taste more than makes up for the smell the taste is fantastic, starts bitter with a blast of grapefruit quickly followed by a smooth balancing of caramel and a nice crisp tartness to round out the flavors. The finish is soft and sweet but leaves you with a memorable bitterness bite.

Bottle from Ølbutikken. Light amber, thin head. Strong pine forest and grass aroma. Fine balance between malty body and oily bitterness, a bit too much perfume in the tail. But wow!

Clear amber sporting a large, frothy, durable off white head - very nice. Spicy aroma with some orange and lemon as well. Medium body, light carbonation, and a smooth feel. Some caramel sweetness that is kept well in check by peppery spice and citusy bitterness. Finsihes dry with a lingering thirst quenching bitterness. A very smooth and drinkable IPA.

Not too fruity, not too bitter, it’s a wonderful beer to drink without food.

Pours deep amber into a shaker. Head quickly recedes to skim the surface. Citrus and pine notes. Well balanced with up front malts which quickly turn to a lasting bitter hop finish.

12oz bottle, 6.0% a/v Nice coppery red colour with a thick offwhite head. The aroma is citrus and pine, definitely one of the american C hops. Very smooth taste well balanced with a definite hop kick in the aftertaste. Very weighty in the mouthfeel and a satisfying drink. This is a great IPA if you love your hops!

12oz bottle. Pours amber orange with a medium off-white head. Nice refreshing aroma of orange citrus with pine and honey. Flavor is more one-dimensional, emphasizing pine and floral hops. Pleasant lingering hop bitterness with a dry smooth finish. Not bad overall.

from crackedkettle.com - pours a slightly hazy dark orange colour with a modest foam left; solid aroma of quince marmalade, apricots and cream; rounded and juicy palate; medium to full malt body; a robust but not overwhelming bitterness introduces a long fruity and hoppy finish - another very nice beer from this brewery
