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!

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.

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.

Nice label with an old map on it. Clear honey pour with modest head. Strong, first-rate scent of honey-like malts and hops. Well-rounded and balanced IPA flavor - solid malts, tasty hops, some orange in there, maybe even a dash of spices too. Medium-light carbonation. This is a super IPA, and another winner from Avery.

In the summer, I’m drinking IPA. I was privileged to enjoy this on tap last weekend at Avery’s inaugural "4K on the 4th" run. I don’t know if it truly is Colorado’s hoppiest IPA, but it is one of the best. While Avery’s own Maharaja is better, this IPA, a more traditional IPA than that one, is a great classic exmaple of the style. Light amber pour. Citrus, floral, pine, and bread aromas. The hops hit hard, but as with most good IPA’s they are balanced by the right malts and the finish is clean.

Fairly tight aroma, just a little bit of citrus. Well done basic piney cereal flavor. Solid IPA.

Pale golden color, but with a creamy white head leaving a pretty good lacing. Hints of caramel and pine sap in the smell, perhaps a bit of lemon and grapefruit. Nice piney hoppiness to this, with a solid malt base to boot. Finish is a little light, but still nice and hoppy. Average carbonation with a nice full body. Pretty solid beer here, worth trying for sure.
