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!

Classic affordable session-like IPA. Well balanced with piney grapefruit hop flavor. Faint mineral aspect. Pronounced floral, fruity aroma. Avery is shooting up charts as one of my favorite brewers. You can see the similarities with Majarja, Avery’s Impy IPA.

Appearance: Pours an oh-so clear golden hue with a splash of orange that looks reminiscient of apple juice. The last couple of weeks have been nothing but stouts and porters for me, so it’s refreshing to see some sharp, crystal clear colors for a change. White foamy head, but it’s dieing fast! Some great lacing throughout this beer’s final moments. Smell: A fruit medley (pineapple, mostly) mixed with piney hop aromas. I’m not picking up much (or any) malt in the nose. Taste: A light, delicate flash of malt followed by a rushing tide of hop bitterness with a long, spicy finish. Mouthfeel: Very crisp and quiet thirst-quenching. Medium-light mouthfeel with a fair amount of carbonation. Not bad! It’s got good... Drinkability: While India Pale Ale is not my favored style, I’m really enjoying this, as its got just the right amount of hops for me. Definitely as sessionable as an IPA can be. Thanks again, Avery!

Draught at 69 Taps in Akron. Nice amber color with medium head and good lacing. Good typical IPA all around, not much to say that everyone hasn’t already.

On tap @ Brouwers Cafe. Fairly typical, yet delicious IPA from a fine brewery. I could sit and smell this all day. Perfect marriage of malt and hops. Top of it’s class.

This one is all hops. Tastes is more bitter than the aroma leads you to believe. Strong bitterness in the finish. Pours a hazy bright orange color. One of the best IPAs available in CT.

bottle - Pours coppery with a medium sized head that leaves ample lacing. The aroma has lots of citrus hops with grapefruit coming in especially strong. Strong citrus hops lead the flavor. They’re crisp and balanced by just enough malt to keep them in check. Rich and enjoyable, this beer is a fine example of the style.
