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!

Straw yellow with fruity, citrus, hops, and lemon flavor brings the beer into the wide open. Has some carbonation. The taste is citrusy, hoppy and a bitter mouth feel. The finish last a minute or two and is very refreshing.

I really like the label! Pours a nice orange yellow color with a foamy off white head. Smells of citrus and hops. Tastes of pine and flowers. Pretty good IPA but has a bit of a harsh mouthfeel.

Bottle. Pours golden, thin white head with lacing. Sticky floral and citrus fruit aroma - scent of fresh flowers, grapefruit, lemon, pineapple and honey. Flavor is full, round doughy malt middle, with light citrus-like bitterness - lychee, lemon peel - around the edges. Light piney bitterness in the aftertaste.

355 ml bottle. Pours a nice amber with a dense off-white head. Intense piney floral nose. Medium body with a bold malt and hop profile. Inital sweetness is quickly offset by an aggressive bitterness. Nice lingering battle between the sweet malt and bitter hop flavors.

Had it in a pint glass. The appearance is a light amber/orange. Poured w/a nice head. Not a lot, just perfect amount of head. The aroma is floral, bitter smell. Moderatly hoppy. Now for the taste. Bitter, floral, hints of citrus. Just like it smelled. Great bitter aftertaste. The bitterness lingers even after you drink it. Long after.

350 mL bottle. Clear dark yellow with foamy white head. Aroma of grapefruit, pine, and hops. Citrus, pine, hemp notes, and a malty finish with some lingering bitterness.

Pours a glowing golden light brown with a small white head. Smells of big hops and grapefruit. Quite a powerful aroma for just a regular IPA. Tastes of big bitter hops, grapefruit and other citrus seem to be on the back burner. Hops are pretty much up in your face. Defintely a nice drinking session IPA. Good showing here.
