Poured from a 12oz can into a Speiglau IPA glass.
Look is a light golden with amber highlights and a big frothy head.
Aroma is herbal bitter. Not much else.
Taste is herbal bitter balanced with sweet malt.
Not a bad IPA good to see in cans.

SOUTHERN TIER IPA 7/3/16
a: Translucent dark gold with a finger thick white head which receded to thick surface foam and fairly s\dense lacing.
s: Mild grapefruit
t; Follows the nose with moderate bitterness. Dry finish. Medium ABV well-concealed.
m: Medium, good body and carbonation tingle.
o: One of the better IPAs out there, although the emphasis on grapefruit flavor does get a tad unpleasantly bitter eventually for all but the most devoted hopheads.

A mild, pleasant bitterness from this IPA, not as strong as others I’ve tasted. Slightly hazy golden color with mild carbonation, and a thin skin of a head. For me IPAs are tricky, as sometimes the bitterness is overwhelming, but this one was just about right.

Being local and one of my first IPA's this one is the bar to which I measure all other IPA's. It's above average without a doubt, but after many years of drinking this it just doesn't seem to measure up to all the other finely crafted IPA's flooding the market.
On tap at The Club On Silver Lake,
Pours a very good head, 1/2" - 3/4" that retains itself well, lots of lacing. Smells of hops, not overwhelmingly. Tastes rather plain, mostly bitter.
Poured from a bottle, the hops are close to simcoe and chinook, but very clean smelling/tasting.
