My woman is playing nurse at a girlfriend's house who was in recent car accident and she called to say it would be a little longer so I figured I would take the baby for a beer run in her wagon. I just can't wait another hour to start drinking. I found this New York oak-aged IPA, oddly named Southern Tier, and I just happened to notice it was 11% ABV. I had to make this beer mine. Doubtful that a New York brewery could successfully execute an imperial IPA, I remained skeptical. After my first sip, however, I was blown away. It hits your lips with spicy grapefruit hops which undergoes an incredibly smooth transition to oakey malts. What an unbelievable beer. I would even venture to say that this is one of the best imperial IPAs I have ever had. Great job, Southern Tier, even if your name doesn't make any sense. 5 out of 5. Drink it.

you're welcome.
Hey Doll. I carefully read this post like 50 times and don't understand your comment still. Did you recommend it? Did you pour it for CA? I think we're entitled to know. We CAN handle the truth.
Oh sorry! Just that it's from New York and it was great! The Asshole is always trashing the East (Best) coast.
I have to admit your beer does not totally suck.
Southern Tier refers to the region of upstate NY where this is brewed.
This beer is brewed in Lakewood, NY, which is about and hour and a half south of Buffalo. Pretty much anything south of Buffalo is referred to as southern tier. fucktard.
