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!

Loving this. Had this on tap at Andy’s corner bar. Super hoppy kick as you would expect, finishes clean and smooth. Wish I ordered a few more.

The beer pours a saddle leather amber color. The nose is a rich mix of flowery sharp hops. The taste is very drinkable with a mix of sharp hops and light malts. The finish is clean and light.

Aroma is pineapple, light grain, and some caramel. Cloudy amber pour with nice carbonation, thick yellow head, good lace. Solid grapefruit flavor, dry, and bitter. Weak grapefruit peel finish. Surprisingly good, but kind of unnaturally so.

poured orangish gold with good had and lacing. aroma was a mixture of hops, citrus and floral mostly, and some sweet maltiness. pretty balanced ipa, but lacking complexity. hops grow more distinguished in there flavor as you drink, but the malts come out more in the end, not overshadowing the hops, but with a pretty good presense. slightly oliy full mouth feel. alright.

Gold pour with a crazy huge head and lots of lacing. Aroma is not very strong. Has some hops with a sweetness, a tad of citrus and some mild malt in the finish. Not bad at all but not what I was hoping for.

This definitely has a very clean hop nose, full of fresh citrus fruits, and that’s pretty much it, a slight background of cookie dough maltiness. Not much to this other than hops, so if that pleases you than this is your beer. I was looking for a little bit more.

...hops, and hops, and hops is pretty much all you get off this IPA and I’m not much of an IPA guy. It was still decent, and I have had stronger IPA’s of course, but this one was pretty drinkable. Pale, light, and good with food.

Bottle pours a clear, light, amber coloer with a foamy two finget head. Aroma is floral, orange, hops, and pine. More pine and hops in the flavor with a decent bitter aftertaste, but milder than your usual IPA. Very smooth and drinkable.
