What a great beer. Picked some up at the beverage warehouse the other day, mostly since I had just never tried any Southern Tier until then. I'd just like to give them props on this one, outstanding east coast IPA.

I picked up a couple of each in a mixed sixer the other day. I thought they both were pretty Meh. Definitely not impressed with either.

I think its a weaker version of their Unearthly. Unearthly is probably my favorite Imperial IPA. Great stuff. And their oatmeal stout is really good too.
I love Southern Tier and like their IPA but I LOVE their 2XIPA!

+1, 2XIPA is very good. Very "west-coast".

Southern Tier IPA was my first IPA probably the first craft beer as well. I'd love to try and make it sometime, but have never found a good clone recipe.
They list the IPA as: 7.3% abv 11.4ºL India Pale Ale, brewed with 4 varieties of hops and 4 types of malt.
and Unearthly as: 9.5% abv 15.6ºL Imperial India Pale Ale, 2-row pale malt, cara-pils malt, red wheat. Kettle hops: chinook, cascade. Hopback: styrian golding. Dryhopped: cascade, centennial, chinook.
It also seems the % abv for these beers jumps all over. The Unearthly is listed as 9.5% on their site description and 11% on their label. I've seen the IPA listed between 6.9 and 7.3%.
I'm assuming the hops and schedule from the Unearthly are good, and aim for 70ish IBUs? For the grain, what would be the 4th variety that Unearthly does not have? What Weyermann wheat would be comparable to the red wheat: pale, dark, caramel, chocolate?
