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: Pours a clear copper color with a smaller sandy head. Aroma is malty and dry, light floral hops. Flavor is malty and rich, caramel, and some floral hops providing a light bittersweetness. There is almost this hint of peanutbutter??? in the taste... that alone will make me cringe. Howeverm ir reatains a nice creamy palate. Thanks to The_Epeeist for this one.

Bottle from Wine Warehouse in Charlottesville. Looks like apple juice in the glass. Thin head. Strong hop aroma with some nuttiness in the background. Has kind of a woody, legume character. Nicely balanced, very nice beer. Hops are assertive, but not overly so. Smooth.

Pours a transparent, slightly hazy, orange amber color with yellow fringe and a slightly lacing white head that faded fast. Smells spicy, citrusy, and slightly sweet. Flavor is heavy on the hop resin with lemons and pine and a little spice. Dry but strongly bitter at the end. Touches of biscuit and malt in the flavor as well. Good, but I’ve also had better.

On tap at the Sharp Edge Creekhouse near Crafton. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance. This creamy head. Certainly has that hops aroma, floral and almost piny. Yes, taste impact is IPA, but to me it seems more controlled than most unbalanced IPA. Perhaps I’m turning the corner on enjoying IPA> Chewing on grapefruit rinds but again it is not out of control. This stuff seems to be a little less oppressive than many IPA I’ve had recently. Mildly carbonated. Finish is bitter medicine but not as bad as I anticipated.. Not quite as good as Founders and Two Hearted. On par with Majic Hat HIPA and better than Stone IPA and DFH 60.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of sliffy. Pours a clear, pale amber golden with a white head. Citrusy notes with fat and rich oily hops. Medium-bodied, lightly sweet caramel malt and then again these extremely fresh citrus notes. Moderate bitterness. 310807

12 fl oz bottle. Pours slight hazy dark orange with a lacing off-white head. Malty grapefruit aroma, seems dry. Classic ipa flavour with minor herbal twist (slight soap flavoured without that classic soapy feel). Dry finish with a persisting aroma hops flavour.

12oz bottle spills out a nice pour with lasting tan head. Pretty full aroma with floral hops and sweet malts. The taste starts with a somewhat viscous mouth feel that greets my taste buds with a solid lightly roasted maltiness. Then the floral hops enter in an un-assuming manner. Beyond midway a slight medicinal flavors rises up to hinder the experience some.
