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!

From Bottle into Tulip. Poured hazy golden yellow with medium head which mostly diminishes but lingers with the lacing. Aroma of citrus, pine. Hoppy taste and to me quite dry and bitter, especially in the finish. But that is what they tell you to expect. Overal a good, well above-average American IPA - and a map to boot - Cheers!

12oz bottle. Pours a light, clear copper with a two finger white head that hangs around for awhile and little lacing. Not a strong aroma, but there is some citrus hops and pine, plus some malt in the back. The taste very citrusy with a lot of hop flavor, but also a lot of bread and biscuit taste from the malt and some hints of fruit present. Easy to enjoy with a bold flavor.

Bottle shared by andrew. Light yellow in color, Nice head. Good hoppy aroma. Taste has a nice hop bite upfront but well balanced by the malt presence. Light texture, easy drinking. Overall, considering this bottle was about a year old....i was impressed.

Pours a clear copper color with a dense white head, nice retention, nice lacing... Citrusy aroma up front backed nicely by mildly sweet malts... Thinner than expected body, a few citrus hops, but more earthy and medicinal hops than i remember... Nice beer, not as great as i remember, but certainly a worthy beer in the IPA world...

Clear, pale orange. Light white head. Pleasant floral, citrus aroma. The flavor is pure pine and citrus. Slight bitter finish. Overall an outstanding regular IPA: tasty hops, not overwhelmingly bitter, medium bodied, goes down easy.

Reviewed 3/6/2009 (Tap @ Flying Saucer, Houston, TX): Pours a light amber orange body, creamy white head somewhat lasting. hoppy grapefruit citrus taste. very bitter. green tasting. very harsh. drying taste. Sweet grapefruity taste. Grapefruity dry aroma, bitter. less harsh tasting as it warms, more palatable.
