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!

Tap. The bartender served this to me in a plastic cup which led to a minimal tip, but the beer wasn’t completely ruined. Colored a little lighter than average with a medium head. Pine and resin hops in the nose with a clean mouthfeel and a bitter finish. Definitely not mindblowing but good none the less.

I wasn’t overly impressed by this IPA like I thought i was going to be. The beer was very bitter and the hops did not have a flowery taste they were more acidic and it wasn’t that enjoyable.

This is my favorite IPA. On tap: light copper color with piney hop aroma. Heavy carbonation but the balance and taste of hops is the best. The hop flavor is smooth but at the same time sharp while it lingers with goodness. The flavor consists of pine and citrus notes. For some reason I prefer IPAs to be light in color like this one. Nice looking beer and because the carbonation is very noticeable before drinking, based on appearance you can tell it is quality.

Keg at house party. I remember sipping into my cup and asking the host, "This is really good, what is this?" Turns out I was lucky enough to be at a house party where the offered brew was Avery IPA. Very solid IPA. Like most, there were the typical floral and citrus undertones, but what really stood out to me was the dryness of the beer. There was also a like centrality to the beer: perfect amount of bitterness and hop, nothing too pungent. Quality brew that was easy to drink.

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.
