Feb 15, 2008 Bought a six-pack directly from the tasting room of the brewery in Boulder. There were a couple of the workers who had finished for the day(it was 2pm), were playing beer pong in the front of the store, were rather buzzed and in a very hospitable mood. They gave me a nice description of some of the available beers and let me sample some of the specials on tap. A nice afternoon indeed. Needless to say I like this beer very much as I do love my hops. I usually like a darker beer but the color here is very nice and golden. As others have said, very grassy and citrusy that is amped by the hops and finishes with a little malt. Tasty, especially when as fresh as this sixer was.

Feb 15, 2008 Pours a shimmering golden color with a medium frothy head with some bubbly lacing. Aroma is rather potent; grassy, grapefruit, and bitter. Taste is a bit citrus up front with some lingering bitterness that is calmed down from the malts.

Feb 15, 2008 Pours a golden color with a nice uneven white foamy head. Aroma is tart hop but not the grapefruit variety. It is a nice feature of the beer and is floral and refreshing. Flavor is more bitter than tart and has a nice amount of malt. There is pine and some sour apple. This is as good an IPA as I have sampled. Very well done, Avery!

Feb 14, 2008 Pours light amber with a significant head and some lacings. Big citrus hop hit somewhat offset by sweet malt. I like the Deschutes version a bit more but this is a memorable pour. Nice bitter pine needle finish. Well recommended.

Feb 12, 2008 Pours an goldish orang with a decent white head. Huge citrus and floral hop nose. Flavor has a nice citrus flavor to back it up (surprise!). A bit more pine and a tad bit of metal in this as well. Decent carbonation, slightly bitter. Average but good.

Feb 11, 2008 Pours a beautiful orange with a huge white head and nice carbonation. The nose is ripe tangelo and honeysuckle. In the mouth it is all about hops. You think it is going to be too much and then you realize their is an incredible balance. A nice beer.

Feb 10, 2008 nice deep gold color with a small white head. a very small amount of hops but a very bitter smell. thicker than i was expecting from an ipa and the hops are quite tame.
