Commercial Description:
IPAs are more highly hopped and a bit stronger than traditional pale ales. There are two distinct styles - English and American. English IPAs tend to be more subtle and a bit maltier while American IPAs have a bolder hop character.
Southampton brewmaster Phil Markowski has combined the best of both styles in his IPA. He’s crafted an ale with the bold citrusy hop character of an American IPA and the maltier, more refined flavor of an English IPA. Although the defining characteristic of Southampton IPA is balance, its incredible blend of three American and two British hop varieties is sure to please any hophead!

Poured very pale with a white head. Aroma was light citrus and earthiness. Flavor had a nice light hoppiness that was real easy to drink. A light bitterness was there to back it all up. Solid beer overall that you could drink a lot of without knowing it. Very well balanced.

Pours a crisp, clean amber with a nice head and good lacing. Smell wasn’t as hoppy as I hoped for. I could smell pine, citrus and some earthy tones. There was too much malt for an IPA, and the hops aren’t as apparent as they should have been. I did taste some of the classic IPA notes like citrus and pines. Overall, not a bad beer, but this doesn’t hold a candle to some of the big IPAs out there.

Aroma is malty with grassy woody piney hops. Flavor is about the same plus an orange peel kinda aftertaste-hop profile is slightly limited despite the description. Not bad but with so many good IPAs out, its tough competition.

Aroma has a little too much malts. Taste is not too hoppy at first, but has a good grainy quality. Decent enough to have again.

Nice sessionable IPA, if a bit tame. The body’s a light, slightly hazed amber capped with a modest, creamy head that laces in sheets. The aroma’s sweet oranges and tangerines with a hit of lemon zest. Fortunately the hop bitterness picks up a bit in the flavor, but it’s fairly evenly balanced with the caramel from the malt. Okay.

It’s always good to drink new york, and if it’s a good beer as well all the better. It looks good in the glass, with a decent amount of head. I’m not much of a pale ale person, but this is a representative example of the style that’s pleasant to nonhopheads.
