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.

What in the hell? This is fucking amazing! Who in the hell do these folk think they are? Obviously i have never had to many good IPA’s, but this is fucking incredible! It poured out a golden orange, light yellow head. Smellt of grass, sweet bread dough, marijuana, and tasted just the same! The balance was perfect, it went down so well. Cheers to a well crafted beer!

Bottle. Nice copper color with descent head that leaves some lace. Citrusy piney hops with doughy malt character on the nose. Flavor is refreshing and balanced with resinous hops but smooth, not really overwhelmingly biting. Nice oake malt backbone too. A bit of booze in there too. Medium body with soft carbonation. Overall: solid.

Amber color with medium white head. Aroma of malt and pepper. Nice body, good bitter fresh hop flavor throughout with a long lasting bitter finish. Not too over the top.

12 oz. bottle from Ludlow Wines. Pours a clean copper with a frothy off white head that doesn’t stick around long. Pine. Nice aroma of hops, fruit, and spices. Flavor is sweet and bitter with a good punch of hops and a slight soapiness. Dry finish and pleasant aftertaste. Very straightforward, solid IPA.

Pour is a orange with a small white head. Aroma is a nice whiff of pine with some caramel malts. Flavor is more hoppy but not much else comes out of this one. I’ll always give a nice hoppy IPA a decent rating but this one was missing something. Its full of hops but not much body.

a very balanced beer with a powerful hop aroma. This beer is packed with flavours of nuts, fruit and caramel with a moderate amount of hop finish. definitely on the light-bodied side making it a very easy-drinking IPA.

I enjoyed this fine beverage in a 20 oz oversized pint glass at the blue tusk in syracuse, NY. It had a very subtle and nicely balanced hop vibe to it. It kind of had an english ale smoothness to it. It was a nice beer to finish the evening with. Very chill floral aroma as well.
