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.

[Sampled with the duo: Svoger & Svogergylp on Orř.] Hazy orange-amber look with offwhite head. Notes of caramel, hops, pines, and flowerpark. Grapy and refreshing. Good to food.

12oz bottle. Pours amber orange with a medium off-white head. Nice refreshing aroma of orange citrus with pine and honey. Flavor is more one-dimensional, emphasizing pine and floral hops. Pleasant lingering hop bitterness with a dry smooth finish. Not bad overall.

Bottle (33 cl) at Café 3 smĺ rum, Göteborg, Sweden. Clear amber, small white head. Earthy potatoe-ish malt aroma, piney citrus hops. Medium bodied and smooth. A bit restrained bitterness. A quite boring IPA.

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours copper with a white head and a grapefruit hop aroma. This one has a well balanced flavor with the assertive hops one expects from an IPA accented with grapefruit and a touch of pine and enough malt to hold it up. I really liked the mouthfeel on this one. The medium body and smooth carbonation leads into a bitter finish. The sum of the parts is greater than each one and my overall impression is of an excellent IPA.

Bottle. hazy/cloudy with fast disapering head. Aroma tea with lemo and honey. The taste is too sweet, not enough CO2, boring.

(Bottle) A good IPA. Cool, clean tasting, this IPA actually has many of the qualities that usually makes me prefer APA’s over IPA’s...something about the hops is cleaner and less heavy. Not terribly complex. This one is very hoppy and has less richness to the malt...but at least it is not too heavy. I would take this over most American IPA’s any day, although I’d not put it in the "best of the best" category.
