| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 23, 2009 Musty aroma of citrus, golden IPA with lacing some spice in the flavor. Could some Saaz hops have slipped into Avery IPA? Comaping my score with others., I’m not much of a fan of this IPA as other raters. Doppelganger (1353), Dry County, Arkansas, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 22, 2005 Pours pale copper orange, with a small amount of off-white head that fades to just a little skim. Some lace. A bit undercarbonated. Orange and mango hop aromas, with a nice honey sweetness that seems to be more a part of the hops than the malt. Good full aroma. Medium body that seems on for style. Appropriately bracing hops, giving it an almost chewy character. Some musky and metalic astringency--a bit distracting. That just last for a second though, and there is a nice lingering bitterness between sips. A decent IPA that would be fabulous if it could live up to its aroma. Stefano (1334), Esbjerg, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 20, 2007 Clear light yellow orange with a nice lasting white head. Floral hop aroma. The flavor is a sharp grapefruit dominated hop oriented thing, with just barely enough body to hold up to it. fly (1332), austin, Tejas, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Apr 13, 2004 Really in the mood for this - just hit the spot. Reminds me a bit of Live Oak Liberation. Well made IPA with floral hops that go to partying in the nose and mouth. Mighty fine. biz82 (1328), austin, Texas, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 16, 2004 Bottle.Spicy, fruity, sweet, yeasty aroma. Clear golden color with a respectable white head. Powerfully pungent flavor with a moderate malt base that barely supports it. Semi-dry, bitter finish. A bracing IPA that features a spicy hop profile more than the typical resinous one. I suspect this a from Styrian Goldings hops. Very good and distinct IPA. kwoeltje (1321), Manchester, Missouri, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 4, 2007 (draught - Flying Saucer, Little Rock) medium amber with small white head and nice lace. Citrus/grapefruit aroma. Nice citrus hops flavor, decent malt balance. JohnnyJ (1321), Carlsbad, California, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 20, 2007 Very nice floral and fresh hoppy aroma. Flavors of piney hops, grapefruit, citrus, and some caramel. A nice drinkable IPA. apoptosis (1316), Long Island, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Aug 13, 2004 Lighter orange body, with a nice lacy head. Strong citrus and hoppy aroma - very pleasant and robust. A hint of ash as well. Dry and crisp. Highly grapefruited flavor. A tad tart, and although its not very sweet at all, it is quite refreshing. Overall, not disappointing.
