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!

12oz bottle from BevMo Mission Valley. Poured a crystal clear golden yellow with a light orange glow. Decent off white head and good lacing were present. Lots of grapefruit and pine on the nose. This brew would need a little bump up in Alc% for me to give it a great rating.

Bottle, 12oz. Pours a quite clear, nice golden body with a dense, off-white head. Balanced nose, surprising me a bit, as I expected it to be more on the hoppy side. There’s sure piney hops in it, but there’s also malts enough to balance it. The flavor is a lovely blend of piney and citrusy hops giving it a nice bitterness, and a malty sweetness, leading to a long, very bitter finish with pine and citrus, as well as a malty sweetness to balance it slightly. Yet another nice one from Avery. (080215)

Dark orange color with medium head. A true American IPA with heavy hops. The finer details are however missing.

Big head pour on a classic style IPA. Hops were roust, a good ipa, but not much other notes.

I rated this beer after rating a bunch of really bad beers. I may have to come back and re-rate it one day, because I’m sure I gave it a few extra points for not sucking as bad as the last beers I drank. Sweet citrus aroma. Grapefruit, honey, lemon zest, wonderful hops. Clear elegant orange, tiny patchy head. Bold grapefruit flavor, followed by a pleasant bitter mouth feel, with a smooth dry hop finish. Palate is nice and smooth with just the right dryness for an IPA.

355 ml bottle. Dim orange body with a medium white head. Aroma is fruity hops, peaches and grapefruit. Flavor is sweet, fruity, malt, grapefruit and peaches. Quite nice.

Pours a pale orange color with a full frothy head that lasts the whole time and leads to some serious lacing. Strong hoppy grapefruit/citrus aroma and a refreshing hoppy flavor. A very tasty IPA.
