Avery IPA

Clear golden color. Bright hoppy aroma with pine needles reminiscent of a gin and tonic. Nice, easy drinking citrus and bitters flavor. Very balanced. A great one to share with friends.

Bottle. Pretty light nose, spring floral hop aroma with small malty accents. Kind of a weak pour, some light with fizzy head, remains but minimally, no lacing, light golden color, some carbonation. Taste is pretty solid though, good citrus, lemony hop taste throughout, with a decent fruity grain malt through the end and finish to balance nicely, pretty smooth, a crisp mouthfeel at first, not too light. Overall, i like the good balance, can’t complain.

Cask at the Flying Saucer Addison TX 6/24/08. Tulip glass (!). Bright gold, no head and cold for a cask beer. Nose is hoppy but subdued by the cold. Taste is sweet, alcoholy, hoppy but not overwhelming. A bit floral and nosey. I think the cold temp killed this one.

Pours a clear golden/straw color. Aroma is floral... of hops, citrus, and spice. Flavor is more of the same. A solid IPA. On tap.

From bottle. Aroma is hops, floral and citrus. Flavor is more hops, not quite enough balancing malt though. OK IPA.

Clear golden liquid with 2 fingers of white head. Mostly citrus aroma with orange playing the lead. Give it credit where it is due, this beer certainly isn’t a hop bomb, but it is an excellent balance of the malts and the somewhat bitter citrus hops. Nice creamy body, a beer that might not wow you but is a great example of a straightforward IPA.

Pours golden with big frothy head. Lots of hops in this one, some citrus, pine, and even a little spruce. Not much malt to balance. A little thin. Not bad but there are certainly much better ones out there.

Nice crisp IPA with citrus undertones. Would be great on a hot summer day.
