I drank this one over Christmas break and to be honest, so much has happened since then that I am having trouble remembering anything that stood out about it. I know it was hoppy, but so is every fucking IPA on the planet. I remember that I thought to myself, “Damn, Southern Tier just always brews solid, drinkable beers.” Anything beyond that I would just be making up in order to fill up space on the blog. What’s the point of that? Instead, here is a little blurb from the untappd page for this beer that will provide you with some kind of value for taking the time to read this vapid excuse for a blog:

“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 triple-hopped on its journey to your glass for a fully aromatic experience.” (https://untappd.com/b/southern-tier-brewing-company-ipa/4039)
