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.

Pours a beautiful orange. Hoppy with a predominant grapefruit flavor. A very fresh and refreshing beer. A great beer to start the night with. A very solid offering, if unspectacular.

Bottle. Pours a dark orange with small white head. The aroma is clean hops. The taste is smooth balanced hop flavor with not much going on, but great solid IPA.

Raffraichissante et légère IPA. Légers arômes de houblon et de fruits (poires-pèches). Semblable pour le goût. Sec en finale, mais pas trop houblonnée en arrière goût.

Bottled 355ml. Ordered from crackedkettle.com. It pours a clear amber beer with a small off-white head. Interesting hoppy aroma with green tea, turkish delight, jarred pickles, overripe orange, quite a lot of melissa, coriander and some grapefruit showing up. Surprisingly low bitterness in the taste. Sweet. The malt is too present to my liking. Decent hop profile. Medium bodied. Subtle. Hints of turkish delight, melissa, rose, raisin, green tea and grapefruit. Low carbonation. Leafy. Some sticky spotty lacework. A lot of liquorice allsorts and mint appearing in the finish which is dryish. A very gentle IPA.

Bottle (cellphone rating). Dark golden with an off white head. Aroma of resin, spruce and caramel. A slightly fruity sweetness in flavour with a sirupy feel. Some freshness and lemon as well. A bit clayey in it’s bitterness despite of a light body.

A solid IPA. Quite carbonated, hoppy on the nose. Medium malty body and medium to high level hops. Not too bitter. Quite refreshing.

12oz bottle poured into a pint glass. Nicely balanced and very drinkable for an IPA... well done, Southern Tier!

Pours dark amber with a white head. Aroma is lots of hop, citrus, floral, and a little maltiness. Flavor is nice piney hops with a good bit of malt to balance things.
