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!

Pours murkey dark orange with a creamy off-white head. Arom is moderatly malty of grain and cookies, with heavy hopp aroma of grapefruit and lime. lightly yeasty esters of rasins, apple and pineapple. Flavor is well balanced but overall light in flavor with hints of vinilla. Light bodied and watery with a livley co2 levels.

This beer pours a clear amber with a large frothy white head, that leaves sticky lacing on the side of the glass as you drink it. Faint aroma of citrus hops, nice sharp hop flavor, with a decent finish. A wonderful session IPA.

12 oz bottle. I’m hoping that somehow this was a bad bottle because I can’t imagine Avery intended the beer to be this way. The bottle opened fine and after Iwalked twney feet to go outside and pour it all that came out was foam, foam and more foam. After twenty minutes of allowing the head to disipate and pouring the rest in this beer had a honey like appearance and looked flat. Mouthfeel was flat I guess all that foam ate up the carbonation. Aroma, when there was some detectable under that GIANT foamy head, was citrus hops and flavor was mildly sweet with a slight bitter aftertaste but not much hops. Maybe I will rerate this one day but for now this is a pass.

Pour was a thin copper color that was really more gold than copper. Slightly cloudy. The head was white and foamy. Nice thick three-finger variety. Solid rings of lacing. The aroma was and herbal, piney mess. Where I was expecting nice floral notes I got the smell of a backyard garden on a hot summer day in Oklahoma. Tomato and okra plants. The flavor was sour, herbal and only slightly piney. Methinks I may have gotten a skunky bottle.

Very enjoyable IPA with the quintessential look and feel of what I like in a hoppy brew. A hint of English malts and sweet and fruity NW hops. Perfect tawny body and bustling off-white head. Yum!

Pours copper with a white head. Smells of pine resin, citrus, some floral hints, peppery and some sweet malty hints. Tastes of citrus, sweet malt. Mouthfeel is tingly with a bitter finish.

12 oz bottle - deep gold hue with a thick and fluffy two-finger head. Big pine, citrus aromas, along with some cereals. Wonderfully refreshing, with a honey-sweet malt backbone that firmly anchors all those glorious, glorious hops. Mildly bitter at the back of the palate, and very refreshing.
