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 clear amber with a fluffy one finger white head. Aroma is grapefruit, hint of biscuity malt. Taste starts off with biscuit, then come the citrus hops -- not as bright as some ipas, but still a nice, firm, prickly hop presence and bitterness. Finish is nice and bitter. Mouthfeel is a bit creamy, classic. Nice example.

Exactly what i was looking for. Bright copper colour, strong grapefruit and floral aromas. a very soft fruity mouthfeel but great hops flavor. nice retention in the head, very little lacing. overall pleasent brew.

Bottle courtesy of mcferc4...THANKS AGAIN ROB!!! Very tasty little brew...kind of wish this one was a bomber!!! Nice citrus and resin aroma with just enough sweetness. Copper colored with a two-fingered white head. Flavor is pretty well balanced...not in the same category as AleSmith and maybe not even Great Divide but a tasty IPA non-the-less. I’ve really enjoyed everything from this brewery.

Bottle from the Southern Tier mixpack. The aroma is very floral and hoppy, malty much more malty than I thought it would be, great aftertaste would buy again, I am kind of upset that when the mixpacks handles broke and I dropped it that this was the only oen of the 11 that broke. Unfortunate haha

Bottle courtesy of GMCC2181 Pours a clear amber with one finger white head. Nose is malt and mild citrus hops. Palate is much the same with a slight resin finish. Medium mouth feel with minimal lacing. Decent session IPA. Thanks G!

Bottle: pours dark copper, nice aroma of hops with molasses/carmel notes. After the smell, I knew I would like this beer. Taste is similiar to aroma. Initiial hop taste gives way to a slight carmel malt sweetness that gives way to a lingering hop flavor. This is a nice IPA and the subtle sweetness keeps you intrigued.
