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!

Half way decent head, a light amber pour. Not the color I expect from an IPA. Hoppy and piney to the nose, but not so much on the mouth. kind of a hoppy flavor, a little citrus. Yeasty metal shit aftertaste. Not bad, but not great. Hard to compare to Two Hearted, but what isnt?

Pretty orange pour with a big pine aroma and a smashing hops taste. Very balanced and a nice bitter finish to a solidly tasty product.

Pours a light copper with a medium off white head and good lacing. Aroma is citrusy hops, and flavor is similar. Slightly malty up front with a serious hop finish. Not bad.

Pours a clear light orange with decent off white head. Aroma is floral and piney hops, a little yeast. Flavor is malt up front on a bed of floral and citrus hops, slight fruitiness. Very pleasant bitterness in the finish. Solid IPA.

The aftertaste lingers for days is an off metal bitter yuck. Not a bad beer, reminds me of S.N. Southern Hemi Fresh hop minus the extra kick. Its good and hoppy but the malt comes up thin. Some lacing hardly any head and piss yellow color kill the appearance score. I rate IPAs way to hard, this is a good beer, but I’ll pass on it in the future for better beers.

Bottle.Old rating. Columbus, Styrian Goldings and Centennial hops used for this one. It pours clear amber-orange with an average sized creamy head that mostly diminished but left good lacing.
