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!

Saffron colored with some chill haze. Nice 2+ fingers of eggshell head. Lacing is immense, great retention. Smell is a bit understated, with honey soaked piney hops. Taste is also somewhat light. Malt sweetness along with some tannin-like bitterness imitates the character of honey tea. Some citrus hops are also present. Tannic finish leads to a dryish mouthfeel. Carbonation is on the low side, which doesn’t match well with the sort of chewy body. This is a quite tame IPA, which makes it very very drinkable.

12oz. Medium amber body with a slight haze and a white head. Aroma is fairly typical grass, pine, and bitter fruit. Body follows in flavors with good grapefruit, different malts and hops. Carbonation is medium, not noticeable one way or the other. Struck me as a very well balanced IPA with more complexity than some. A pleasant surprise more than anything else.

A really excellent IPA. Pours a straw gold color with a finger of white head. Head disappears pretty quickly, but the floral aroma is great. Flavor is strong citrusy well balanced with a rich maltiness. It’s not as aggressively hopped as some IPAs that I love, but the flavor of the hops comes through really well. Nice crisp and clear hoppy aftertaste, too. It shoots. It scores. I dig it.

Smells like a million other American IPAs. Tastes like a million other American IPAs with a Northwest hopface. Perfectly fine as a beer, and above-average for sure. Nice woodsy finish that might help me identify it in a lineup.

Hoppy aroma. Clear orange pour with small off white head....laces pretty well. Hops throughout the taste. Crisp mouthfeel. Very good.

Very nice orange look with good offwhite head with notes of grapy and flowery armoes with following flavornotes of similar experiences. Longlasting dry and bitter finish for a very good beer for the style.

12.oz bottle at City Beer in SF. Pours an cloudy amber/golden color with head that dissipates guickly. Strong citrus aroma with a big dose of hop. Mouthfeel is somewhat heavier than I expected, almost thick. It was pretty amazing in the balance of flavor and aroma. This is a definate winner!

12 oz. bottle pours a clear amber hue with a nice off white head. Has a strong grapefruit aroma. Nice medium body. The taste is a strong grapefruit bitter flavor with a malt sweetness that sneaks in the back door. Finishes with a bittersweet after taste. Very nice.2003
