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 from Downtown Discount Beverage, Dover, NH. Aroma is bread and yeast (a little bit like wert), slight fruity hops. Appearance is hazy orange yellow with greenish tinge. Trace sparkle and small white head that dissipates quickly, and mild lacing. Taste is combination of sweet, bitter and sour, (sort of a 50-25-25% split) much like the aroma. Palate is medium bodied with average texture and average carbonation (slight zing to tip and sides of the tongue). Finish is wet and fairly long with mild bitterness. Overall, a nice combination of aromas and tastes but suffers a little by bordering on the unfinished side. Above average appearance and palate but not without faults.

Beautiful orange appearance with big white head. Aroma, first impression: So American. Pines and malt. Taste is sweet and juicy, more of the nice residual sweetness and bitterness. A nice benchmark East Coast IPA, not much space for critique here. But then again it’s not too distinct.

Botella de 33 cl en el lúpulo en octubre de 2012. Ipa con un cuerpo de 7.3 vol, fácil de beber aunque con algunos toques toscos y lúpulos herbáceos, algo cítricos que se podían suavizar un poco mas. Podía estar mejor.

12oz bottle from Wegman’s, Buffalo. Golden amber with a loose ceam head; the aroma is surprisingly malty; in the mouth there’s an immediate hit of strongly aromatic bitter hops over a body of well toasted grains; the finish is long with a metallic, herbal, edge to it. An attractive East Coast style IPA.
