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.

Keg.Amber color with a thin off-white to beige head Sweet malty aroma and taste with lots of flowery aromatic hops. Dry bitter finish. Overall nice and enjoyable IPA, lacks a bit on the malt background to balance it even more.

22/11/2011 12Fl. Oz. bottle @ home - bottled: 5/25/11 (2011-664)
Clear orange beer, big creamy off-white head, bit stable, adhesive leaving a nice lacing in the glass. Aroma: very fruity, chervil, bit of vegetables, herbal, hay. MF: low carbon, medium body. Taste: fruity start, passion fruit, pineapple, then grapefruit bitterness. Better to drink and hold the sip in your mouth as long as possible, to avoid the unpleasant aftertaste. Aftertaste is bitter grapefruit, tobacco, dry ending.

Draught sample @ 3 Små Rum on November 10. Pours golden with a small white head that doesn’t leave much trace on the glass while dissipating. Smell is very malty with caramel, bread, sweet tropical fruits and some yeast. Taste is fresh and rather thin. There’s sweet malts, bread, cereal and peaches. Finish is sweet with lots of cereal.

12oz bottle from Pick’s poured into a shaker. Pours a clear dark orange with about 1 finger of off-white head. Aroma of citrus hops. Taste is medium bitter and lightly sweet. Taste of citrus and pine. Medium bodied with a thin and oily texture. Lively carbonation and a long bitter finish. Overall, very good. Something I will plan on drinking again.

0.355l bottle @ Baran, Bergen shared with ClubGonzo. Pours a clear champagne orange body with a nice lasting creamy head. Aroma is really grassy and quite malty. Also notes of papery hops, caramel and strawberries. Quite watery mouthfeeling and average to soft carbonation. Tastes mainly malty with a decent amount of light bitter piny hops. Also a good dash of caramel and it has a really dry aftertaste. A bit to sweet to be a proper IPA if you ask me, but tasted quite nice.

The colour is pretty much what you can expect from an IPA. Smells fairly hoppy, but this doesn’t come back in the taste as much in the smell. Decent mouthfeel.

Smells really fine, nice hoppy smell. The taste is a little less hoppy than I had expected upon smelling it, but good though. Palate is fine, carbs are good.

En förvånansvärt malttung IPA. Kanske lite trött humle har fått vågskålen att tippa över. Inte alls lika bra som 2xIPA.
