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!

Pours a bright, but cloudy orange colour- head is fairly large- white and floral. Nice citrusy character, soft and piney but typicaly hopped. My only complaint about this brew is- there’s nothing exciting about it. Pretty standard for the most part. Nothing unique, lots of hops and fruit but basic overall.

Bottle. Pours a dark yellow color. Has a three finger white head. Smells very hoppy. Grains and citrus are noticable. Great IPA. Not as good as Titian IPA.

Brownish orange IPA, two finger off white head leaves tons of lacing and a hoppy aroma. Grainy, earthy hops and a clean lingering finish. Good but not mind blowing.

Bottle. Pours a nice clear light gold color with a little white head. Strong floral citrus aroma, with an intial hoppy flavor that ends slightly malty. Great IPA from just down the road :)

Bottle 2008. A marvelous IPA! Scent of strong floral tones and powerful hops. Looks dark orangey-yellow with little head. Tastes of hops, hops, hops, with a wonderful malty aftertaste. This is a great IPA, very complex with the hops and malt interacting wonderfully.

Hmm...thinking maybe I got a bad one. 12oz bottle poured into pint glass, active head, so good so far. The aroma is dominated by a scent that seems to combine used gym socks with the queef of a fat chick who recently consumed numerous bowls of stale hops. It looks like beer, tastes awful. Difficult to drink. It has a cloying, nagging sweetness that reminds me of vomit. As I try to finish this mess, I hold back my own...for being a 90 rating, this is horrible. Hoping I picked up a dud...either that or everyone else is on meth.

12oz. bottle. Pours a nice dark gold, real good fluffy white head with good lacing. Hoppy, slightly smell of citrus, grapefruit maybe. Big hop bitterness all the way through the initial taste, really grabs onto the tongue. Tasty
