Steady Yeti

Tap to rate

Bright tropical notes come from Galaxy and Citra hops in this American IPA. At just 3.8% ABV and 38 IBU it is far lighter than the style usually runs, and its name comes from a yeti that moves through the woods unseen: calm, cool and easy-drinking, sold in cans. Southern Tier is based in Lakewood, New York.

◐ Taste

Entry is clean and approachable, with tropical fruit flavors mirroring the aroma. Mid-palate develops a crisp citrus bite balanced against moderate bitterness; the low ABV and restrained IBU keep the beer drinking smooth and refreshing rather than aggressive. The finish is dry and clean, fading without lingering harshness.

Tulip glass

The curved shape concentrates hop aromas and supports a thick head. Essential for aromatic ales and IPAs where the nose is half the experience.
