IPA
Lightly floral, with citrus and pine up front and a subtle caramel sweetness underneath; the bitterness is medium-high at 60 IBU and lingers, the body medium. One of the beers Southern Tier opened with in 2003, this copper-colored 7.0% IPA is brewed with four malt varieties and triple-hopped on its way from tank to glass.

What is a American IPA?
IPAs are hop-forward ales with 5.5–7.5% ABV and IBU 40–70+. Bold hop aroma — citrus, tropical, resinous — with firm bitterness and a dry, clean finish.
