Commercial Description:
In the 1700's one crafty brewer discovered that a healthy dose of hops and an increased alcohol content perserved his ales during the long voyage to India (as depicted in our label) to quench the thirst of British troops. Today, we tip our hat to that historic innovation by brewing Colorado's hoppiest pale ale. Avery IPA demands to be poured into your favorite glass to truly appreciate the citrusy, floral bouquet and the rich, malty finish. Brewed by hopheads for hopheads!

Avery I.P.A poured a golden crisp color; it had moderate foam: head was about an inch. It smelt moderately of grassy pine tasting hops. The carbonation is not over the top or overly flat; it has perfect carbonation for an American style IPA. The taste remained loyal to the smell; it was crisp and refreshing. This I.P.A had very mild malty bite, which allowed the flavors of the hops to be showcased. There was a slight citrus sourness followed by a moderate bite of hops. This belongs like Stone IPA in the ranks of America’s best I.P.A’s. I cannot find anything really to complain about, concerning the beer. This is an American IPA which does not try to be a double or imperial IPA; it is simply a simple nearly flawless IPA

bottle 12 oz. - golden pour with small white head. Aroma - citrus, mango and grapefruit. Just plain hop goodness!!! Flavor - pungent hops with good balance of malt. Very nice smooth citrus taste. Palate - medium somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Above average carbonation with mild bitter finish. Overall - Excellent IPA, First taste is top notch with average finish, a little soapy!

My friend BeerBaron617 picked up a sixer of this at the store down the street to share. He took a sip and thought it was a bit bitter, seems to think it has been sitting on the shelf for a while. It looks nice, a darkish yellow with a foamy white head that leaves a lot of lacing in the glass. Aroma is not very a bit strong for me, not enough citrus in there. Taste is very bitter. I don’t think I am having the best of luck with Avery products :(

This is my favorite IPA, i am a manager of a Restaurant & Wine/Beer Shop in NC and this is the best selling beer that i carry. Not only because it is a personal favorite but because of the overall quality. great balance of malts and citrus hops.

Bottle. Nice. Pours a cloudy pale orange. Perfect 3/4" lacy head. All citrus and hops. Pleasing bitter aftertaste. Followed it with a Dogfish 60 min, which surpisingly presented an unsavory sweetness. A straight-ahead IPA (not overly complex).

I loved the map on the label. I tried this beer on June 18, 2009 at ’The Beer Bistro’ in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy orange-gold with a rocky white head. The aroma was malt, hops, and pine. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was crisp, some malt, and a bitter grapefruit. Enjoyable.

This is a good representation of a classic IPA. Pours copper with a nice head solid aroma of traditional English hops. Nice sweet malt balance finishes with a good hop bite. Flavors of pine and earth, carrot and bark. Well balanced this beer good.
