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!

12oz bottle. light haze, bright golden color, fluffy white head. Sweet aroma of ripened grapefruit. Is this a breakfast beer? flavor of rich grapefruit. Tastes like a fruit wedge! This beer is awesome. Decent malt foundation, lots of American hops. very hoppy, very balanced. How do you do that? This is delicious.

Not quite clear, golden brew with average size foamy white head, thick lacing. Aroma is fresh grapefruit, citrus, hoppy. Heavy, thick bitter flavor of grapefruit and oranges, you can taste the hops. Foams up a bit in your mouth, very bitter aftertaste. Ahh, nice gentle burn. Finishes dry.

12 oz bottle via Liquid Solutions. Pours a semi-hazy copper with a small head. Nose is floral and citrusy. Notes of caramel, orange, and grapefruit. Flavors are the same, mostly organge and grapefruit with a strong malt backbone. Cirsp semi-dry orange finish. Medium body. Well carbonated. Nice bittersweet balanced aftertaste.

It doesn’t take a whole lot to make up a good IPA. Just gotta be well-balanced, tasty, and with some nice bite to it. Example: Avery IPA

Pours a somewhat cloudy honey color, Thinnish white head of small bubbles. Smells of malt more than hops which was surprising but good. Honestly it almost has that sweet type of Belgian smell to it. But it tastes like an IPA. Bitter with a very sweet finish. Lots of hops up front and the malt comes in and sweetens it up. Palate is a little on the thick side but not too thick. A good amount of carbonation. A different take on IPA I think. Very good though. More malt flavors than I usually find in an IPA, but still just the right amount of hops and bitterness.

Avery I.P.A poured a golden crisp color; it had moderate foam: head was about an inch. It smelt moderately of grassy pine tasting hops. The carbonation is not over the top or overly flat; it has perfect carbonation for an American style IPA. The taste remained loyal to the smell; it was crisp and refreshing. This I.P.A had very mild malty bite, which allowed the flavors of the hops to be showcased. There was a slight citrus sourness followed by a moderate bite of hops. This belongs like Stone IPA in the ranks of America’s best I.P.A’s. I cannot find anything really to complain about, concerning the beer. This is an American IPA which does not try to be a double or imperial IPA; it is simply a simple nearly flawless IPA

This beer is a hazy yellow-orange with a small white head and good lacing. Has a sweet citrus and floral hop aroma. The taste begins smooth, grows bitter, then finishes dry.
