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!

Amber with a huge head. Hoppy aroma of grape and orange. The same notes are found in the flavours with lemon and a bit of caramel. It is one way bitter and lacks some counterpart from the malts. Not bad though.

Pours a mild gold color, a finger of off-white head and very respectable lacing. Hoppy pine aroma and really well balanced bitter grapefruit flavor. Palate is smooth but with a little bit of heavier syrup feel to it. Pretty remarkably sweet finish compared to the bitters up-front. There is a mild soapy after taste. Best IPA I’ve had for a while in my random beer quest....

Single from the local shop, with the price of hops going up it appears IPA’s may become more of a treat than a good ol’ stand-by. Rich evergreen aroma, lots of pine and a touch of floral scents. Clear golden-copper color with a thin head and mild lacing. A steady, lazy carbonation is present. Rich and aggressive, the sticky hops cling to the mouth and a pleasant, thick bitterness remains. Good flavor, typical of this great style. Hearty malt with some light caramel and nutty flavors that are overtaken by a strong evergreen and citrus content. Fine IPA in all regards, although I prefer a little more grapefruit and citrus.

Bottle: Poured a golden color ale with a big foamy head with good retention but no lacing. Aroma of dry bitter hops with minimal floral or citrus notes. Taste is also dominated by some dry bitter hops with some light caramel malt notes. Medium body with good carbonation. Not bad overall and pretty straight forward – I would have preferred more citrus notes and some floral notes but still enjoyable nonetheless.

Clear almost pilsner yellow with a touch of orange and has a fine white head. Aroma of fruits (citrus), hops and flowers. A bit of yeasty notes (wheat). Softly carbonated with a smooth feel. Fine balance between the powerfull hops and sweet malts. Fine lacings on the side of the glass. Nice bitter hoppy (Sharp & soapy) finish that is lasting. Great IPA!

Strong citrus / grapefruit aroma. Almost a bit of a mango hit. Orange / amber, translucent color. The palate is bright, bubbly, carbonated. Strong mix of a hop / malt flavor. Very present up-front flavor with only a hoppy citrus tinge of an aftertaste. Strong, clean IPA perfect for an outside drink.
