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!

Smells isn’t too hoppy or floral or citrusy, but okay. Nice meringue head that tastes good. Flavor is dominated by bittering hops, too much so. Still the very aftertaste is somewhat smooth and enjoyable. Good, just not great.

(Bottle) Pours a dark golden color with a small head. Sweet, citrusy aroma. Nice solid palate, with average carbonation. Balanced flavor, which increases this beer’s drinkability. Nothing too wild here, but a very good IPA overall.

Attractive golden hue. Crisp and hoppy. Reasonable alcohol level makes it quite refreshing and easy drinking for an American India Pale Ale. Sweet malt glimmers through the hoppy taste. Lots of floral and fruity tastes to enjoy.

12 ounce bottle in pint glass. Clear golden with puffy off-white head and lace. Lemony citrus hop aroma. Mild sweetness, grapefruityness, with strong citrusy hop finish. Medium body and carbonation. I like this type of IPA. Yum.

12oz bottle-A nice clear golden body with a nice white head and an aroma of hops, grapefruit, and citrus. Taste of the same but not as powerful in the hops as other IPA’s.

Had on 8/25/1998. Color is a lightly hazed gold with good carbonation, but a light head. Aroma is full of hops with a slight sour scent in the back. Taste is mild yet bitter. Starting off with a light body the bitterness can be felt right away. It goes down with a flat feel on the back of your mouth. The finish has a light body but a strong bitterness and a fair amount of hop flavor.

(bottle) Orange body with big, off-white head. A full, floral nose with sweet orange, grass, and hops. Flavor is very hoppy but smooth start to finish. Grapefruit flavor with moderate sweetness. Medium bodied and very drinkable.

Not the Maharaja, but a very nice hoppy beer. Good smells and a nice end. I could try and get sick of IPAs and this wouldn’t do it. A good beer to watch Monday Night Football with.
