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!

tropical mango citrus aroma, clear gold. fruity character remains with a light dry bitter finish. dont get me wrong, i like it as an apa, but too tame for an ipa

Grapefruit hops & a hint of pine. Palate is a bit thin, but not too bad. Finishes quite dry. A hint of dusty malt in the taste, but nothing much.

The aroma is a nice piney hops that follow through on the flavor. Pretty solid beer.

Pours a very light, almost yellow amber. Very thin white head. Aroma isn’t my favorite - a musty, piny note dominates. The flavor is a bit better with a clean pine hoppiness coming through, still a bit of staleness in the finish however. Pretty average brew - drinkable, but wouldn’t go out of my way to find it.

tap @ papago. a crystal clear copper beer topped with a fluffy whitish head which leaves nice light lace work. grapefruit and orange aromas dominate over caramel, toasted grain, and light pine. flavor is nicely hopped w/o overkilling my palate... wood, citrus rind and a savory element which keeps it from being too sweet. grassy dry finish. nice texture and smooth mouth feel. 7/3/7/4/16/3.7

on tap this is the beez neez. perfectly balanced for sessioning yet crisp and refreshing enough to satisfy with just one. gotta respect a beer that can do that! 8/3/8/4/17/4

Pretty light color for an IPA with a nice heavy head. Aroma is of hops and pine or piny hops... Taste is really heavy on the hops, but still not overkill. Definitely not something that slaughters the palate.

Pours a clear amber with some nice cream head. Airy hoppy nose that gives some pine characters. Smells like a forest of vibrant pine trees. Flavor is meaty with piney attributes. Just a robust overall flavor profile. Not much complexity to it. It just hits you and stays that way. Feel is good on the liquid. Nice bubble to it as well. Overall pretty drinkable. Not really a hop bomb, and not really a dud. It is what it is.
