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!

At first aroma was a bit sour but in the glass its certainly more hoppy, perhaps even some pine needles. Ubiquitous pale yellow american lager appearance and color. Initiall swallow is not too bad but don’t let up. Because when you do it’s bitter hops in yer eye. Each sips has a rude bitter medicinal feel to it. Yes sir, you can tell its 6%. About average carbonation. Good example of the style; bumptious and just plain offensive.

Bottle: Clear copper color with a white head. Aroma, citrus hops and pale malts, solid aroma. Flavor, sweet up front with some grassy and citrusy hops. I’ve had better, but a solid IPA.

Nice fragrant hops from an amber pour with little head. Good malty, caramel backing matched very well with hops flavor and light lingering bitterness. An above average IPA for sure

I love a good IPA but found this one to be a little lacking. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a light bronze color with a small creamy white head. The aroma is sweet and fruity with a strong fruity hop presence. The mouthfeel is crisp and sparkling. The flavor is sharp with spicy and fruity hops. The beer is a little lacking in malt balance. Nice but there are so many out there that are better.

On tap at the bar again smoke kept me from appreciating the aroma as much as I should have. It had a smooth fruity, malt start but finished with a hard pleasant bitter. Not much of a head but did have a nice clinging lace. All that said the bottom line is that this was a good beer that I will try again from a bottle and probably re-rate.

Bottled. Medium golden color upon pouring. Forest like piney aroma. Lots of bitterness. Piney bitterness up front. Quite spicy as well. Some citric qualities are present. A rather bitter finish.

Bright orange in colour, good sized white coloured head - very creamy, good retention, great lacing. The aroma is floral, some pine and grapefruit, light caramel malts but the hops dominate. The chewy hops carry over into the flavour along with some caramel sweetness, lots of pine and some grass. Dry mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a lingering hop bitterness. This is pretty good, Avery’s smaller beers have much more balance then some of there bigger beers. Not a whole lot of balance here but I can’t really complain.

355ml bottle obtained in a trade with <a href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?U target=blank>piscator34, thanks Kris.
Opened on March 6, 2007.
No best before date.

Draught: Tall sprucey pine trees..with a golden glow and a thin frothy snowball-like head...A Killer west coast 1st-degree murder like flavor..balanced by some creepy malts..Fortunately not too sweet..and well balanced..A good start to a drunken night
