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!

Tasted as part of the Avery Experience at Brouwer’s. Pours the color of apple cider, with a small head. Citrus hops in the aroma, with an interesting note on the finish - almost like pear. Hugely bitter, with a great, full flavor for a single IPA. I’d pick up a sixer of this stuff any day.

On tap as the special of the week at Brixie’s in Brookfield, IL. Pint served a light gold tone, with a thick, frothy head and foamy, clingy lacing. The aroma was smooth malt, citrus and pine, with the pine having the upper hand. The flavor presented more of a balance of the two resulting in a nice hop astringency tempered by a hint of malt sweetness. A good, standard American IPA.

12oz bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Pours a hazy golden caramel color with a one finger foamy white head that settles quickly. Aroma is sweet and floral with notes of citrus, pine, grapefruit, orange peel, fresh flowers, some hints of spice, malt, caramel. Flavor is sweet and floral with notes of ripe fresh fruit, citrus, floral hops, pine, hints of grapefruit, caramel, honey. Generally medium body with a pleasing floral hop finish.

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!
