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!

Dark golden color with a medium sized white head. Nice citrus/hop aroma. Flavor is mostly hops(cascade?). Nice and tart with the malt making an appearance at the end. I’m starting to really like this brewery.

a little thinner than i like my IPAs. some herbal flavors, perfume/earthy/grainy stuff combined with some orange and lemon zest on a nice malt backbone.

Bottle.

Pours an utterly clear light orange-yellow with a moderate head and strong lacing. Lemon tea aroma, sweet light malts, skanky off notes, and a bit of cleaning fluid on the nose. Unpleasant vegetal flavor coupled with deep bitterness, soap, and tin; not much malt here, some butter as a previous reviewer mentions, quite disappointing flavor overall. Thin mouthfeel.

This not a good IPA, it’s a parody of a bad IPA. I was excited to see that Avery had landed in Washington state, but it remains to be seen whether anything they make will turn me into a repeat customer.

(11 Dec 05) Bottle. Poured a clear golden color with an inviting white head that mostly lasted and produced great lacing. Aroma of pine, grapefruit, and flowers. The flavor follows the same with pine and citrus but has malt undertones. Dry texture with a nice IPA bitterness. 7-4-7-3-15. (23Aug08) Draft. Orange in the glass with a creamy off-white head with good lacing. Nice grapefruit and pine aromas. The flavor was very fresh; pine, grapefruit, caramel. Medium body with a moderate bitterness throughout. 7-4-8-3-16. A great IPA, even better draft than in the bottle.
