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 drank 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, 12oz. A clear golden body with a minimal off-white head sitting on top. Hop-dominated nose with resin, pine cones and grapefruit. The flavor has a nice bitterness as well as the resiny, grapefruity elements found in the aroma. Wonderful bitterness in the finish. Full body. A quenching, easy drinkable beer. 090828

355ml bottle from De Molen beer shop. Copper amber colour. Pretty decent IPA, Good piney hoppy aroma, ok malts in the middle, bit of unsubtle alcohol, then more leafy piney hops on the end. Just something not quite smooth about it, maybe just a bit too boozy?? Some juicy malts. Good aroma, decent attempt, but as I say, the heat is just a bit obvious.

Bottle at 3 Små Rum in Gothenburg, April 2009. Nice hoppy aroma and a pleasant bitter taste with hops and caramel. The finish was crisp.

Caramel malt, hay, and pineapple aroma. Golden color, thin white head. Medium bodied, sticky mouthfeel. Orange peel, caramel, and rose hip flavor. Marshmallow peep finish? Very queer, but in an interesting sort of way. Good balance of malt and hop, tons of character. Well done!
