Southern Tier 2XIPA



I don't normally drink IPA's let alone Double IPA's but I found this very drinkable. To me this did not seem that much stronger than a regular IPA, even weighing in at 8.3% ABV. Not as hoppy as I would have imagined, more complex citrus, floral taste, maybe because they combined 3 types of malts and 4 varities of hops, helped smooth it out. Nice and drinkable. Southern Tier, Lakewood, NY.

B+

  1. I'm a fan of Southern Tier in general, and this beer just added to my reasons to like them. Plus, getting something from them in 12 oz bottles was a nice change from the bombers I'm usually picking up. So glad one of my favorite breweries distributes to the west coast!
