Balance. That’s what separates India Pale Ales. And that’s the difference between the Southampton IPA and most others.
Southampton IPA is balanced between the hopped-up West Coast-style IPAs and the Old World characteristics of a traditional European IPA. You could say that Southampton IPA is located somewhere between Europe and California, figuratively and literally.
Phil uses three grains and a blend of three American and two English hop varieties to make this complex and delicious IPA. It’s full of floral hop aroma and has fruity apricot and grapefruit overtones. It has an assertive hop flavor and a refreshing hop bitterness while still showing plenty of caramel malt character to balance the flavor.

Tap @ the Publick House. Pours orange amber with white head. Taste of grapefruits, and oranges. some pine and floral notes. kinda earthy with some caramel. slightly hoppy more like pale ale than traditional american ipa. very delicious though.

On tap at Brinkleys, Manhattan, NY on 19th July 2011. Crystal Clear copper with white foam head and full lacing. Rich malty/caramel aroma. Full-on hoppiness in-mouth, with grapefruit and a delicate tangerine note. Finish quite bitter, rounded with caramel maltiness; zingy mouthfeel. Lovely.

Bottle, 12oz, courtesy of Enjoyit. A mostly clear one, but microfloaties blurs it. Golden-orange body and an off-white head. Citrusy, grapefruit aroma with a hint of malty sweetness. The flavor is on the bitter side, with grapefruit, lemon peel, bitterness and some sugary malty sweetness. Nice bitterness. Full-bodied and pleasantly carbonated. A nice one indeed, a bit on the sweet side, but I wouldn’t mind drinking more of it. 110129

Tap at Beer, Bourbon and BBQ Festival in NYC. Pours yellow-gold with a modest, white head. Fresh hop aroma with citrus and pine. Flavor has nice malts to counter the ample bitterness. Medium in body with average carbonation. Finishes hoppy and lightly dry. Pretty good.
