| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | Jun 10, 2007 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.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jun 8, 2007 12 oz. bottle - pours orange eith large head & monir lacing; very strong & sweet aromas with the thick head; strong & smooth; very nice ChainGangGuy (2556), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 7, 2007 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! b33r (363), Cleveland, Ohio, USA

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 17/20 | May 31, 2007 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. patrick767 (2022), fort wayne, Indiana, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | May 30, 2007 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.
