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.

Was called Iso-Alpha at Ushitora. Grapefruity nose with a touch of cotton candy. Superbly well balanced with grapefruit and citrusy notes shining over the malty backbone with a just a touch of caramel. Moderately bitter finish. Very nice IPA.

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.

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.

Bottle from Bierkoning, Amsterdam, consumed at Kemmel campsite, Belgium, 09-06-09 Pours light/mid amber with white bubbly head, medium carbonation. Fresh clean hoppy aroma. Crisp tasting, the hops really bite, but there is a sweetness sitting underneath. Unsure of the strength of this as it doesn’t mention on the label, but I would be quite happy to have a few of these. Nice furry bitterness, at end this is a little drying, good simple beer. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6

bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours copper with a white head and a grapefruit hop aroma. This one has a well balanced flavor with the assertive hops one expects from an IPA accented with grapefruit and a touch of pine and enough malt to hold it up. I really liked the mouthfeel on this one. The medium body and smooth carbonation leads into a bitter finish. The sum of the parts is greater than each one and my overall impression is of an excellent IPA.
