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.

May 2007, Updated June 2008 - Pour was golden yellow with one finger head and outstanding lacing. Aroma of grapefruit/citrus hops. Flavor was a nice blend of sweet citrus with some mild grassy notes. Citrus was primarily grapefruit with some orangey notes. Sweet and not overly bitter, but with a crisp bite at the end. Medium/high level of hop bitterness. Thick, oily mouthfeel was the most memorable aspect, but also might keep this from great drinkability.

Bottle at just the right temperature in a pilsner gtulip glass. Light red straw color fairly clear with very little head, less than a quarter inch. Also only a slight hops aroma. Dry straightforward hops, not too aromatic, some slight hint of mint and obvious alcohol. Thirst quenching, with a full pallette and only a slight bitter aftertaste. A big hop beer for sure.

This would best be called a pale ale, as it lacked the hoppiness of an IPA. Mild hops, fairly crisp and smooth, but overall, forgettable at best.

also had this with maniac. a very nice ipa well balanced between the piney hops and malt with a nice clean finish. the most balanced ipa i have had so far, not as strong as some but nice. pours a clear copper color with a nice fluffy head, good lacing, and carbonation.

12oz bottle. Beautiful hops and floral scent. A bit too basic for me. Majority of the taste is hop with little supporting cast. A bit watery. Orange light brownish with a strong head. A decent IPA
