Southern Tier - 2xIPA

Not quite an imperial, but certainly not a standard India pale ale. Our double IPA is a hop lovers dream. Citrusy and clean with an incredible finish.

The ABV is 8.2 and the IBU rating is ??
Style - Double IPA
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip or Oversized Wine Glass
Delivery 12oz Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pours a straw color with a white head that last. Good lacing.
Aroma - Hoppy, citrus fruit and grassy.
Taste - Good balance between bitter and sweet.
Mouth Feel - Just the right amount of carbonation, creamy and medium body.
Drinkable - A nice brew for this time of year, being that I've been drinking a lot of malty brews lately.  I nice change of pace.

This beer pairs well with sharp cheese and grilled meats.
