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!

Hoppy pine and citrus aroma. Lacking much of a head, but still a nice straw color, but a slight chill haze. The flavor is sharply, but not unpleasantly, bitter. The finish is a little sweet to help smooth that bitterness out. Hops are piney, maybe a bit citrusy. Bitterness lingers. Overall, a solid American IPA, but I dont think it stands out.

Tremendous IPA. V picked this up for me in a mix-six from World Market. This is a brewery that I am going to have to catch up on, their stuff is really good.

A great brewery, and a solid beer. Bitter, well rounded hop. Ends with a dry resin feel/taste.

pours a deep gold colour with a large foamy head. Aroma is caramel and almost cakey sweet malts, citrus, some pine tones. Flavour is crisp malt, grapefruity citrus but more pine hop in the flavour for me. Finishes slightly dry bitter. Very nice.

On top at the Pearl Street Pub. Pours a darker orange. Smells mainly piney and hoppy. Tastes of columbus hops mostly, very piney. A solid IPA.

Pours amber into a shaker. Off-white head with excellent retention leaves slight sheets as it recedes to coat surface. Pine and resin aromas. Crisp and well-balanced. Lasting pine and resin finish. Nice one.

Poured a nice orange with little head yet good carbonation. I think we need some color classes here at ratebeer as this beer is described as pale yellow to amber...that’s a huge range. Anyhow, the aroma was floral and citrus hop notes with dominant citrus. The flavor was just awesome all hopes with some pretty outrageous grapefruit notes. There is just a slight balance of malt which makes this beer great, but it is mostly hops as they kinda smack the malt down and say...not in my house beotch. The hops are just all over the place throughout this beer but there is never a puckering bitterness that leaves you with old man face...just smooth for an IPA. A great beer that deserves an even higher rating.
