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!

A very good IPA. The hops/malt combo are good...the pour was good...everything about the beer was good and on target...just not great or above target.

Not bad at all. Starts off with a decent balance of hops and malts, but tapers off quickly with a variety of hops. An interesting beer. Also had a littel citrusy flavor to it.

This is a hazy golden colored ale with a wispy, but lasting head. This my first SH brew to my knowledge. Spiciness dominates over floral in the hop department, with just enough malt to balance the beer out. Saratoga Springs does good job pasteurizing the many contract beers that are made there and this South Hampton IPA is one of the better brews I have ever tried from that brewery. The finish is earthy and woody, with a little bit of aged gouda.

12 oz bottle. Clear orangey brass with a slim white head. Dough, grass and light malts. Bready orange peel and lemon quinine. Some drying. Medium carb, medium light. Nothing special.

Darkish golden in color with a medium sized off-white head. Aroma is nicely hopped... what there is of it, anyway, as it is a tad faint. Taste is bitter thin and watery with few of the floral charms of its aroma. $2/12oz

12 oz bottle. I thought this was a pretty good IPA. Lots of hops on the aroma and more in the flavor. Apricot like in the nose and more citrus and floral in the aroma. Just like a good IPA should be.

Pours a hazy gold into a shaker. Offwhite foamy head top hats and volcanos. Upfront sweet malts quickly overtaken by a strong and lasting bitter rind and alcohol burn finish.
