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!

A lot of citrus in both the aroma and the flavor. Nice bite on the finish. A good IPA.

Sampled at the Avery tasting at Blacklick Wine & Spirits. Pours clear copper with a medium off-white head. Piney and grassy hop aroma without much malt balance. Earthy and grassy hop flavor with a bit of malt in the middle before the bitter finish.

Attractive golden hue. Crisp and hoppy. Reasonable alcohol level makes it quite refreshing and easy drinking for an American India Pale Ale. Sweet malt glimmers through the hoppy taste. Lots of floral and fruity tastes to enjoy.

Really pretty golden beer with a crisp white head. Flavor was thin and simple, with subtle malt and hop. Finishes bitter. I love most IPAs, and this one is quite drinkable but nothing special. Go get a Stone or a Victory Hop Devil, depending on which coast is closer.

Bottle from Brennan’s on the west side of Madison. Pours a hazy color. Pretty good overall for an IPA.

Bottle. Fairly light golden orange pour with very minimal head. Nose was strongly reminiscent of Hopslam’s fruit aromas to me, albeit a watered down version of course. Grapefruit and mango but definite pine/resin, too. Oddly, I passed it to my wife for a sip and when she passed it back to me I got a floral explosion on the nose that I hadn’t detected before. Fruit almost disappears on the palate with the pine really dominating until the fruit reappears on the back of the palate/sides of the tongue at the end of each taste. Slight metallic/soapy edge there, as well, though, and a little watery. Nice and bitter if that’s your bag. I’d drink again but definitely reach for a Dogfish 60 or a Two Hearted first.
