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!

bottle. pours a golden yellow with a fluffy white head. strong hoppy pine aroma that i expected. not too strong on the hops balanced with a caramel malt finish. very satisfying leaves a refreshing taste. i’m glad i grabbed a sixer of this(of course Lumpy will drink most of these when he gets here, the damn hophead).

Bottle from a bodega in Brooklyn. Orange body with rocky head. Hoppy nose. Taste of citrus, hops and pine. Sweet and grapefruity finish. Hoppy heaven.

12 oz bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. Good lacing. Nose is sweet citrus; pink grapefruit, with a bit of floral scent. Flavor has good balance, not over-the-top hopped like many IPAs. Nice, smooth, very drinkable brew with a lively mouthfeel. Body is just slightly weak. Finish is a bit of a letdown, lightly bitter. Overall, a very solid offering from a brewer that continues to impress me.

Rocky, white and long-lasting over honey-hazed golden/copper with light carbonation. Laces like a strip-mine. Hops are prominent yet mild in the aroma appearing as juicy pink grapefruit. Flavor starts with incredible balance (making me think this is rather mild), but the hops somehow manage to intensify in the mouth to bring out bitter orange rind and pepper in the finish. Dishrag appears occasionally in aroma and flavor but does not detract from the experience. Somewhat thin on the palate, but a competitive IPA nonetheless.

Suprised it took me this long to rate this beer. Aroma is earthy with pine, it’s hoppy and very pleasant. The body is a nice gold hue with a very thin white head. Taste is very smooth without uneven edges.

Amber pour, off white fluffy head and some spotty lacing. Citrus hops on the nose. Slightly thin bodied with some decent hops flavoring, however I was hoping for some more maltiness

Pale amber body topped by a very nice white creamy head that leaves excellent lacing. Ahh the aroma of Cascades. Grapefruit. Yummy. THe flavor is no surprise given the aroma. It is well balanced and just bitter enough to satisfy. Medium body that is quite smooth. The best of the Avery lot that I have yet had.

Pours a transparent copper with a thick off white head. There was a slight hop bitterness in the aroma with a surprising lack of the expected hop aromas. The flavor has a sweet hoppiness and bitterness and some piney fruity notes. The palate and finish are both waxy and bitter with a slight warmth.
