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.

Bottle: Pours a golden color with a nice white head. The nose is toasty with a rich biscuit and grapefruit note. Some earthiness and grass in the flavor. A light mouthfeel and a moderate body with a deeper toastiness than you get with most IPAs. Not too hoppy but a good pleasant crispness that keeps you interested.

Pours hazy light orange/copper. Little head, some lacing. Nose- rich malts and woody hops. Taste- cookie and caramel malts give solid backbone. Hop kick is there with earthy, grassy bitter hops. Not getting much of a citrus kick out of them. Finish is dry. Medium bodies with just enough carbonation.

This was a delightful little nugget. Poured a dark, cloudy copper with a medium head and disappeared pretty quickly. This one had quite a strong smell with a mix of hops and caramel with the flavor being about the same deal. It seemed a different IPA with the caramel being about as strong as the hops. It’s interesting and quite well done.

Bottle. Deep orange with a large frothy white head. Very strong floral and citrus hop, with mild biscuit malts too. Nicely balanced, with a crisp bitter finish. Solid example of an American style IPA.

Bouteille de 355 ml bu au Beer Bistro à Toronto, le 11/7/08. Couleur paille ambrée, petit collet. Arome bien houblonné, arome de pêches et d’agrumes, presque pas amère. Goût d’houblon caramelisé, bien amère avec une finission de fruits secs. Un IPA agéable et savoureuse!
