We pronounce it “sta-leep-ah”; you pronounce it how you like. STLIPA, which is the acronym for St. Louis India Pale Ale, is actually a DIPA (Double or Imperial IPA, double the stats of a traditional IPA). It showcases prominent grapefruit, pine, and floral hop aroma and a sufficient malt backbone to balance the hop bitterness. We hope it’s one you'll include in your set of favorite DIPA’s from one of the best beer cities in the world St. Louis.

OT-M BIF bottle from sethdude. Pours hazy light amber with a slight beige head. Aroma is hoppy, but not burning the nose, tho clearly there’s a lot of hop. Full bodied. Flavor is a light caramel with enough hop to start a burn immediately. Lots of hop. Earthy. Floral. Resin. Not getting citrus. Lots of hop. Kind of complex. Pretty dry. Pretty hoppy. Bitter, but not killing NW so. I do think this might embalm tissues it comes in contact with. Killer brew.

Bottle. Pour is a clear copper with a nice head and aromas of grain, caramel and smooth citrusy hops. Not a lot of hop punch to the nose, but it comes through interestingly in the flavor. It is sweet, but doesn’t have a syrupy mouthfeel, which allows the orange and other citrus hop flavors to come through. Almost a pineapple and tangerine edge to it.

Bottle (no freshness date indicated), but marked as Revolution Series 3. Pours with a very hazy orange hued body with a medium sized, just barely off-white head with decent retention and good lace. Aromas are of sticky citrus, pine, slightly noble, earthy and spicy. Not exactly your typical west coast DIPA hop profile, but not horrible either. Reasonably fresh smelling. Mild ester, lightly biscuity and cracker like malt profile. Flavors are medium bitter and grassy. A nicely warming, bready and biscuity mouthfeel. A touch more yeasty than I would like (both in flavor and in appearance). Relatively clean fermentation profile, crisp finish. Hop flavor shows a lot of sterling (which I like), mild citrus, noble spicy and earthy characters. Bitterness lingers a bit more than I would like. Not a bad beer at all, well made, but not exactly my favorite hop profile for a big hop bomb of a beer.

Tap @ Urban Chestnut. Pours a milky yellow orange appearance with a white head. Bright juicy citrus fruity, mango, sweet, refreshing aroma. Somewhat spicy, mango, pineapple, citrusy with some bitterness on the finish. Pretty tasty.

Pour is a hazy orange with a large white head. Aroma is plenty of grapefruity hops. Flavor is a nice powerful hop. Finish is clean with a nice hoppy resin left on the tounge. This was a nice straight forward IPA. One of those beers that I can see getting worse with age so drink fresh!
