SamAdams777 (37), Abilene or Stephenville, Texas, USA Jul 9, 2009 Great on draft, which ive had the pleasure of trying at the flying saucer in ft worth. Smells great, good on the palate as most IPAs are. flavor in spades, highly bitter and hoppness overload. clean and crisp.

Small white head. Some carbonation. Hoppy aroma. Clear golden coloured hoppy and citrus flavoured with a crisp and bitter lasting finish. chumba526 (6), Washington, USA does not count Jul 3, 2009 Avery I.P.A poured a golden crisp color; it had moderate foam: head was about an inch. It smelt moderately of grassy pine tasting hops. The carbonation is not over the top or overly flat; it has perfect carbonation for an American style IPA. The taste remained loyal to the smell; it was crisp and refreshing. This I.P.A had very mild malty bite, which allowed the flavors of the hops to be showcased. There was a slight citrus sourness followed by a moderate bite of hops. This belongs like Stone IPA in the ranks of America’s best I.P.A’s. I cannot find anything really to complain about, concerning the beer. This is an American IPA which does not try to be a double or imperial IPA; it is simply a simple nearly flawless IPA SHANER4 (370), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jul 3, 2009 bottle 12 oz. - golden pour with small white head.
Aroma - citrus, mango and grapefruit. Just plain hop goodness!!!
Flavor - pungent hops with good balance of malt. Very nice smooth citrus taste.
Palate - medium somewhat creamy mouthfeel. Above average carbonation with mild bitter finish.
Overall - Excellent IPA, First taste is top notch with average finish, a little soapy! MereLikesBeer (153), Royal Oak, Michigan, USA Jun 30, 2009 My friend BeerBaron617 picked up a sixer of this at the store down the street to share. He took a sip and thought it was a bit bitter, seems to think it has been sitting on the shelf for a while. It looks nice, a darkish yellow with a foamy white head that leaves a lot of lacing in the glass. Aroma is not very a bit strong for me, not enough citrus in there. Taste is very bitter. I don’t think I am having the best of luck with Avery products :( ThaddeusBraun (9), North Carolina, USA does not count Jun 29, 2009 This is my favorite IPA, i am a manager of a Restaurant & Wine/Beer Shop in NC and this is the best selling beer that i carry. Not only because it is a personal favorite but because of the overall quality. great balance of malts and citrus hops. mitchgt (11), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Jun 28, 2009 Bottle. Nice. Pours a cloudy pale orange. Perfect 3/4" lacy head. All citrus and hops. Pleasing bitter aftertaste. Followed it with a Dogfish 60 min, which surpisingly presented an unsavory sweetness. A straight-ahead IPA (not overly complex). cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada Jun 25, 2009 12oz bottle
6.5% ABV
I loved the map on the label. I tried this beer on June 18, 2009 at ’The Beer Bistro’ in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy orange-gold with a rocky white head. The aroma was malt, hops, and pine. The mouthfeel was medium bodied with medium carbonation. The flavour was crisp, some malt, and a bitter grapefruit. Enjoyable.
