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!

A golden beer with a 2 finger head. Aroma was decent with pine, fruity, & sweet. The taste was sweet, piney, & mildly bitter with nice lacing on the glass. Not a bad IPA

Uhm- IPA. I am a big fan of US IPA and this one is in the "bitter" end. More than most IPA’s but after my oppinion spot on with the hops. I would like more distription and alcoholprocentes on the bottle like in EU.

On tap at Yard House (West Palm Beach): The aroma and taste is straight up IPA. What distinguishes this ale from most others is the citrusy feel throughout- not so much lemon, more grapefruit and orange. Hoppy for sure, and has that IPA-like taste of liquid bread. Carbonation is anything but overly fizzy. Extremely well balanced.

Source:Tap at Barley’s in Knoxville.
Glass:Pint.
Appearance:Clear gold/amber with a thin off white head.
Aroma:Bready malt and flowers, with a hint of citrus on the nose.
Flavor:Solid malt base with a resinous finish. A bit of citrus as well.
Palate:Medium body with solid carbonation.
Overall:This was good. I’ve had this from the bottle, but most times it isn’t fresh. Draught was far superior.

What a beer. Beautiful gold, with a persistent and sticky white head. Aroma of biscuity malt and floral hops. Delicious rounded malt on the palate with complex floral/perfumey hops. Dense, firm bitterness without peeling the tongue. I could drink a lot of this. Love that it has made it to New Zealand.

Bottle at beerbistro. Nice beer. Pours amber with good amount of white head. Good amount of floral, citrusy hops, but not over the top.

Pours an off-white head with lace and a clear, deep golden body. Smells of floral and citrus hops. Flavors of floral and spicy hops. Bitter finish. Good stuff for a session.

A good example of the style. Smells of American hops; citrusy, floral, pine, catbox. Excellent. Very balanced flavor.
