Apr 6, 2008 nothing real special. kind of a lot closer to a pale than an ipa, imho. not bad flavor and palate. aroma is lacking...

Apr 6, 2008 Pretty decent IPA, distinctly Avery. Paler side of gold, decent head. Not particularly aggressive for an IPA, though definitely a sessionable IPA. Nice.

Apr 5, 2008 bottle from BeerGestapo. thanks Mike. pours a light copper with a good sized white head. sweet smelling nose with a hint of citrus. flavor is pretty balanced, sweet malt base and a lightly bitter citrus finish. if this beer were just called a pale ale it would be pretty good for the style, but as an IPA it fails miserably. that being said I’m not a huge fan of IPAs so I found the beer to fairly drinkable.

Apr 3, 2008 Updated: Apr 5, 2008(USA) The color is golden yellow with a med-white head. There is a strong Hoppy / Citrus aroma here, And the taste is of pine needles !! The finish is kinda dry but not very bitter as i would expect.

Mar 28, 2008 12oz brown bottle with no date poured into nonic.
Hazed dull yellow with a frothy white head that leaves a nice lacing on the glass.
Overall a subdued nose on this beer. The hops are foremost with a yellow grapefruit backdrop. Smells clean with maybe a hint of pine.
Hops hit the palate first and stay the longest. A nicely balanced IPA that delivers a good dose of hops that coat, perhaps these are the hop oils I hear about. Not much in the form of malt.
A lighter bodied IPA with heavier carbonation. Nice and crisp.
A thirst quencher. Good for a handful but not quite session worthy with its ABV.

Mar 25, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slightly hazy golden color with a few floaters. I poured it gentle so as to avoid most of the floaters, so the head is minimal. Nose is malt and wet grain. Maybe I have an older bottle and the hops have died down, but this is a really mild IPA hops wise. Slight lingering bitter aftertaste. Decent mouth feel. I’ll give it another try down the road and rerate if needed.

Mar 25, 2008 Pours with a white, frothy head covereing a clear gold body. Ultra floral, hoppy aroma with a decent amout of yeast in the aroma. Taste isn’t too bitter, but not too much taste. It is actually a bit watery for 6%.

Mar 24, 2008 Updated: Oct 24, 2009Pours hazy copper with a decent white head. Aroma of citrus. Taste is very hoppy with some malt base and light spice. Pine and citrus hops present here. Finish is not too bitter; very mild for an IPA. Overall, a middle of the pack IPA. **** Fresh dry-hopped cask at Trappeze. Probably the best IPA or pale ale cask I’ve ever had. Really big fruit notes in the aroma and flavor. Really nice. I’ll average the 4.4 I’d give the cask with my bottle rating.
