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.

Dark golden with a small white head. Juicy American hop aroma with grapefruit and tangerine, some pine and an obvious dry hop grassy note. Clearly some biscuit-y and caramelly malt in the background. Flavour has a bit of that malt and some sweetness, and lots of hops. Grassy notes and a good bitterness.

Bottle. Orange blonde color. pineapple, grapefruit and oily and flowery hops in the aroma. Firm oily, slightly perfumed hopbitter flavor with pineapple. Leather in the finish. Malty sweetish. Loads of flavor, but the balance could be better.

35,5 cl bottle @ HJHansen, Odense. Pours a clear copper with a small white head and lacings. Nose is super fresh and fruity of hops. Citrus, grapefruit and pine. Bitter dry, crisp and fresh taste with some malty buiscuit notes. Very nice!

Bottle from Archer Liquors. Orange gold color with a large, fine off-white head. The aroma isn’t all that sharp - more like floral. Medium body with mild carbonation. The flavor is light roasted malt with a lot of hop, but it isn’t really all that bitter. It’s almost chewy floral/citrus though. Maybe I got lucky with a fresh one? Or it’s so old the bitter evaporated? LOL Really nice and pleasant. Nigh astringent. Excellent.

12 oz. bottle. Proper amberish IPA pour, head is a little thinner and paler than I expect for the style. Zesty wet hop smell that even my wife in the next room picked up. Taste definitely shows this ought to be an American Pale Ale. Plenty of piney hops, not as high on the citrus, but a good sticky effect on my lip. Good malt balance in caramel shades. One of the better "year-round" IPAs.

12oz bottle, pours a hazy copper with an off white head that lingered for just a little while. aroma is more malty than i thought it would be, not as citrusy as im used to. taste is again more malty than i like my IPA’s, but still very good, smooth palate with a hoppy kick, finishes as good as it starts. a good beer.
