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!

12oz bottle. Pours hazy golden. Heavy hop aroma though the taste was not as hop heavy as expected (still plenty though). A pretty good IPA.

Bottle. Pours hazy yellow-orange with a white head. Aroma is hops and sweet malt. Flavor is floral and citrus hop, fruit, and a good bit of maltiness.

(Draught) Appeared as orange and cloudy. Head was medium sized and white. Aroma was very fruity and hoppy. Palate had medium body and freshness with medium carbonation. Malts, hops, fruitiness, citricness, lightly sweetness and bitterness could be found from the taste of the beer. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. Really good IPA.

Have had many in the avery taproom, finally rating a bottle. Aroma is a little pungent/cheesy wood with the standard Avery woodiness. Flavor is very roof-of-the-mouth woody pine hop bitterness with a sweet grapefruit to close. Bitterness lingers and is pretty coating. Nice, very well done "every day" IPA, nothing extraordinary.

Bottle from the Arlington World Market. Poured a hazy orange with a flowing off white head that just wouldn’t stop.

As the head settled it started looking like awkward meringue sand castles. You know the castles you could make by drizzling wet sand out of your fist into a semi-Dungeons and Dragons castle kind of spire? Several of those about a quarter of an inch to an inch tall just chilling out in my beer... what the fuck?

Aroma of fruit and some hops. Good citrus flavor with not so much hop flavor, but plenty of good fry hop feel. Aftertaste is faint citrus. Dry.

Bottle. Pours a golden yellow with a white head. Aroma was piney and floral with a hint of citrus. Flavor was piney/floral hops, mild citrus and a touch of grapefruit with a medium body and has a lasting bitter finish.

Maybe I’ve been drinking too many IPAs lately, but nothing about this stood out for me. I would neither reject it nor try terribly hard to drink it again. Some floral, citrus, bitterness, malt (maybe a bit too much?) etc.

Bottle split with Tony. Pours a clear orange body with nice white foamy head. Aroma is clean hop. Taste is nice, bitter hops.
