Avery IPA

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 30 July 2008) Pale amber colour with huge, white head leaving lots of lacing. Malty, fruity nose with notes of grassy, citrussy hops and a distant hint of smoke. Fruity, malty taste with bready malt and a grassy, dry finish with distinct notes of citrussy hops. Notes of sweetness. Very nice balance. Very nice beer.

Blessed are we, the Hop drinkers, the Hop appreciators, the Hop aficionado, for they bring much flavor, breathe, and joy into our daily lives in the most enjoyable form possible: sweet delectable beer. And in the case of the beer I am currently holding in my hand, the Avery Brewing IPA.
A gorgeous bright golden orange with a lusciously soft and thick finger-sized head forms. Lingering for a good minute or so, I eventually lose her to a ring around the glass with a thin splotchy layer on top. I lift my glass and am immediately greeted by sweet, oily, grassy hops in my nose. I breathe deep - beautiful. I swirl my beer to release even more of the delicious hop aroma and watch as layers of lace and foam cling to my glass in viscous appreciation. I take a quaff. Smooth, thick, oily, and soft on the mouth feel. A plethora of grassy hop oils and flavors tickle my taste buds along with some bitter citrus rind, spice, and a wee bit of a sweet malt backbone. as my Avery IPA warms a bit since leaving the fridge and the bottle for my glass, the hops retain their crisp oily body and texture while the flavor profile blends into a smooth array of sweet grass, bitter lemon and citrus rind, and warm spice. Up until my last quaff, Avery IPA retains every bit of her character, never fading in the least.
A very well rounded IPA, reveling in hoppy oils and grassy esters. Another fine beer from Avery Brewing, their IPA can definitely stand up tall amidst the other quality denizens of the IPA world.

Pours a lightly burnt yellow into the pint glass I was using. It has a very nice and froathy head with good lacing as it goes down. The aroma is hops, hops and more hops. It is a hop taste but spiced nicely. It leave s a really smooth bitter taste on your palate. A very nice drink.

Had at The Pub in Pembroke Pines, FL. Purs a nice gold color, no real head. Aroma is citrus, hops, floral. Taste is hoppy and malty and the bitterness is present but not lingering. Nice beer overall.

A mild floral aroma with hops... pours golden with almost no head... nice bitter taste... very refreshing beer...

On tap at Julian’s, 7/11. Pours orange gold with a medium white head. Aroma of sweet malts, pine and grapefruit. Nice flavor, a good combination of caramel malts and citrus and pine hops. Very nice beer.

Clear amber with medium off white head. Hoppy aroma with citric and caramel notes. Sweet and hoppy flavor with some caramel and grapefruit notes.

Pours a yellow-orange with a decent white white head that dissipates quickly. Nice aroma, hops maybe a little piney. Taste is a good example of the style. Good balance and a very nice beer.
