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!

Classic IPA looks with a nice piney-citrus aroma. Taste is lighter and maltier than most standard IPAs but good. Not the rockin hop bitterness and taste that I prefer, but good nonetheless. A somewhat average IPA

Bottle. Poured copper color with a large frothy white head that was mostly lasting with good lacing. Moderate sour citrus hoppy aroma. Medium body with a slick texture. Medium citrus bitter and a medium smooth bitter finish of moderate duration. Solid drinkable beer.

Ah, a beautiful golden amber very little head, foamy, off white. Citrus aroma, to me, this smells like an IPA. Smooth, spicy, bitterness. Bitterness seems to build with every drink and wraps your tongue. Extreme hops in this one. Medium bodied. Slight warming finish. Not my favorite IPA but enjoyable.

Tap at SPH 8.21.06 A nice IPA. More the American style of doing IPA’s which would make them...not really an IPA. But still, a decent example of the overall style. Nothing spectacular, but highly drinkable.

Sampled at the Odds and Ends Tasting at Dogbrick’s. Golden color with a big beige head. Only a slight hop aroma. Mild hop flavor. Ok.

Sampled at the Odds and Ends Tasting on 8/16/06: Clear golden color with a medium thin off-white head and thin spotty lacing. The aroma is hoppy with muted pine and citrus in the background. Medium-bodied with mild hops and malt flavors, as well as a bit of citrus. The finish is dry and short, with a mildly bitter hops aftertaste. Above average overall, although not by much. Seems like there should be more to this.

draught: pours a light copperish orange with good head. Aroma is of citrussy hops and malt. Flavor has a Nice balance, but could have been hoppier for an ipa. Some earthy taste in the finish. palate is a little lacking, but okay. Overall good ipa. I liked it. Not in the Stone, Hopdevil, or neggut necter league.

Nice aromatic citrus-bread. On the deep-golden side with a short white head. Refreshing, fresh, orange hop with medium bitters shapening like provo on the tongue leaving a modest bittersweet grapfreuit+orange finish.
