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.

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

Aromatischer Hopfenantrunk mit vergleichsweise geringer Herbe. Schon im Mittelteil lässt der Hopfen deutlich nach, grasige Noten kommen aber zum Ende noch einmal hervor. Wenig bitter, ziemlich süffig. Nett! 9/9/11/12/11/12

Purchased at Archer Liquors in Chicago, IL; enjoyed on a cold crappy late April Tuesday after getting a mediocre hair cut. Aroma beautiful for an IPA, very grassy/floral/citrusy hop profile, also has a sweetness in the nose. Appearance is pretty much a clear amber with a thin but frothy white head that laces to the glass. Taste is fantastic, quite bitter but retains somewhat of a sweetness in the palate. Also has a malty finish, like a DIPA would have, but it’s not as potent so maybe it’s a 1.5IPA? It’s a really solid IPA that I enjoy drinking after a foul weathered day.

This is a good one. Nice golden yellow with a thick, white head. Strong hoppy, piney aroma. Flavors include citrus and pine. Very fresh, crisp flavor with nice bitter finish to it. I liked it.

From a 355ml bottle on 14/10/2010. Label says it’s 6.5%. Another oustanding IPA from a septic brewery. Has a powerful fruity, piney, burnt bread hop aroma. There’s some caramel sweetness at the start, followed by citrus fruits (lemon and grapefruit). Not at the extreme end when it comes to the hops, but there are still plenty there to keep one satisfied. Has great balance.
