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.

Pours amber with a foamy finger’s length lasting head. Smells of meadows, hay, grapefruit, oranges, and flowers. Tastes bitter with some minor caramel notes, pepper and floral notes. Lasting, nice carbonated mouthfeel.

This IPA is simple, straightr to the style and just fantastic. A nose full of hops and small amounts of caramel and a flavour dominated by ultra clean hop flavour, circling around the citrus/flower combo. Extremely balanced and clean with a nice subdued fruitiness and a clean, cleansing bitterness. This beer really proves, that there is no need to go extreme to be extremely good!

Pours with a short head and a amber color. Mouthful tastes rather thin. Nice hop character, not an intro microbrew, but something a non-craft beer drinker should be able to handle, and a beer that experienced craft drinkers should enjoy.

On tap at Mr Goodbars in Buffalo. I had almost given up hope of finding a good IPA in the region until I tried this one. What a fantastic surprise. On the more bitter end of the IPA continuum, but that tends to be my preference.

This IPA is very, very good--and I can’t wait to get my hands on more. The pour is a light golden color with an off-white head. The smell is terrific--plenty of citrus and pine hops. You can tell from the first whiff that this is going to be en enjoyable brew. The taste is a great balance of hops and malt. The level of bitterness is almost perfect--and is kept in check by the great caramel malt backbone.

Gift from neighbor (Non-ratebeerian, mowed his lawn when he went home to NY, a six of this was part of payment. I love a neighbor that gives good gifts. )Dark orange-amber yet very clear and clean, filtered, average size orange-cream colored head. Very citrusy bouquet bitter hops aroma, strong, welcoming. Solid bitterness, grapefruit zestiness. Extreme IPA yet very drinkable. Goes down smooth, finishes clean and leaves you wanting to grab another.

12oz bottle. Pour clear amber in color with small white head, which does not last long. Aroma of citrus hops and grapefruit. Taste of grapefruit and light malt with bitter after taste.
