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 golden with a decent sized fluffy white head. Aroma of citrus, sweet malts, and hops. Flavor is citrusy, smooth, mildly hoppy bitterness. Good body, good brew.

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.

Extremely clear, light copperish appearance, decent head formation. Strong hoppy aroma, fruit punch an citrus. Sweet lemony flavor at first, mild shortbread notes but really not a lot of malt. Orangey sweetness with a strong citiric bite in the finish, with a long lingering bitterness.

Pours a glowing golden light brown with a small white head. Smells of big hops and grapefruit. Quite a powerful aroma for just a regular IPA. Tastes of big bitter hops, grapefruit and other citrus seem to be on the back burner. Hops are pretty much up in your face. Defintely a nice drinking session IPA. Good showing here.

Pours a clear golden with a small-mod sized diminishing head. Aroma of grapefruit and pine needles, also some caramel malt backing. Taste follows the aroma. Moderate bitterness just after the intial sour hop bite, and fades into a slightly sweet finish. Not terribly complex, but for what it is, it’s a pretty good beer.

This is a very enjoyable IPA. The color is golden and the head is large at first then dies down. The lace coats the glass well. Very nice looking. Smells of citrus and passion fruits under a slightly medicinal malt backbone. The taste is reliable. I definately am getting my hop fix here. Orange and other citrus flavors are very prominent. Clean and crisp but very thin in the mouth. This is a solid IPA.

12 oz. bottle. Had to grab something to get the awful Shiner Leicht out of my palate. This saves me with a nice whiff of grapefruit hops as soon as I pop the cap. Pours a cloudy IPA orange with a rocky head, dwindling with a bit of lace. Taste actually starts with thick, creamy malts, close to a caramel chew. Cheek to cheek with our favorite American hops; the 3C’s plus a puckery smack of Amarillos, I think. Like gargling with Pine-Sol, but in a good way. Keeps its balance all the way down. Yay.

nice deep gold color with a small white head. a very small amount of hops but a very bitter smell. thicker than i was expecting from an ipa and the hops are quite tame.
