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!

6 pack from total beverage in Westminster. Medium yellow, foamy white head. Nice hoppy aroma - more foaral than anything. Good taste - lots of malt for a thin to medium (yet carbonated) body, but lots of fora hops. A really easy drinking flavorful IPA with a surprising amount of malt. Good stuff.

piney/citrusy hop aroma was great. the hops were obviously what dominated the palate, but they werent so overpowering as to make this beer offensive.

Really potent hops aroma and a very strong bitter taste. Smooth palate and a very intoxicating aroma. Well balanced.

Bottle. Pours orange-gold with a sizable head. Aroma is soapy, hoppy, and floral. Didn’t catch much of the “lychee” that I originally detected trying this beer for the first time. Body is crisp, bitter from the onset, herbal and lightly fruity. Fruit present leans towards underripe tart/bitter orange. Pretty good, I found it quite thirst-quenching while eating some greasy fries!

Rating # 1000 of Avery IPA ya bitches! Cellar-cool bottle opens with promisong aromas of hops. Pours a sunny golden color with fine and fast-dropping head. Smells good, initial taste has a fruitiness that reminds me a little of Froot Loops. It’s overall very good though, it’s subtle and a little pale fruit-citrusy instead of hammering you with dry dry hops. Cooling the bottle a bit yields more balance. Great palate and interesting notes. Slightly above-par Great American IPA!! ** slight add comment ** next bottle at beerbistro was stellar - loving the big citrus Centellial hop aromas and tastes

12 oz bottle. Pours clear light orange color with minimal head but big lacing. Aroma is a bit funky, but the flavor does not dissapoint. Citrus, pine and grass notes dominate this IPA. Light mouthfeel, medium bitter lingerness and very refreshing.

Musty aroma of citrus, golden IPA with lacing some spice in the flavor. Could some Saaz hops have slipped into Avery IPA? Comaping my score with others., I’m not much of a fan of this IPA as other raters.

I think that of the IPA’s that I have had, The Avery IPA has one of the best aromas. I consider this IPA one of the standards when I go out and buy a sixer of it.
