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!

Having heard nothing about this beer prior to purchasing it, I was pleasantly surprised. It pours a deep gold with a large, dense, pillowy, off-white head that takes it’s sweet time in diminishing. The aroma is citrus, pine and flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with a bitter finish that wicks all moisture from the tongue. The flavor is sweet caramel malts up front with a strong floral, pine and citrus hop backing. This is a tasty IPA with a nice lingering finish.

Bottle. Slightly hazy, pale amber with a creamy, off-white head. Very floral hops aroma. Little sweet, but mostly a hop flavor. But never excessively bitter.

Pours a slightly cloudy orangey amber with a one finger off white head. Aroma is primarily citrus with some pine definitely in the mix. Taste is very pleasant but mild citrus hops with some pine. Little resin. Rather thin and easy to drink. A very pleasant IPA that does a nice job of balancing the bitterness. Very sessionable IPA.

Huge hops for a regular IPA. Definite citrus tartness both aroma and flavor. Pretty much all that is going on here is this. A hop heads delight fo sho!

Bottled. BIG GRAPEFRUIT! Poured a deep golden with a large white head. Seriously all I could taste was grapefruit luckily, I like grapefruit. Good beer definitely not my favorite IPA very one-dimensional.

Okay, much better after the Redpoint. Golden pour with good carbonation and a big white head. Hops abound in the nose, grapefruit, orange, pine, but without resin. Smooth, yet bitter, taste with more pine and grapefruit. Some grassiness and malt in the finish. A true IPA that isn’t an Imperial with the wrong label. Excellent beer.

Bottle. Clear gold with a huge, over-carbonated head that lasts with good foamy lace. Aroma is grapefruit and pine-grassy hops. Flavor is good balance of sweet malt and citrus hops; gets increasingly hoppier and ends with a nutty-cocoa and resin-crisp aftertaste. Smooth, dryish and easy, with surprisingly little tingle for all the hops and carbonation. Nice, widely available AIPA.
