Mar 1, 2003 Colour: yellow with gold-copper shine throughout, hints of Chablislike green; thick white, luxurious head but disappearing rather fast.
Nose: full-hoppy aroma, not metallic or overpowering, slight wet cardboard taint, also DMS (?)
Taste: Amazingly nice hoppy taste, much more flavour than real bitter taste; hops seem more UK than USA character.
Aftertaste: retronasal aromas of cypress, crisp finish. each gulp gives renewed helping of fresh hops, always with this cypresslike flavouring. Hops keep lingering at the tonguesides.
This beer is in many aspects an epitomizing of American IPA, were it not for the character of the hops. Very drinkable for all its hoppiness.

Mar 28, 2004 The Avery IPA pours a yellow-orange with a lively, thick and sticky white head that laces the glass on the way down. A thin head lasted for the entire glass.
Its aroma is of strong hops with citrus / grapefruit notes. Very appealing.
The taste is huge on the hops! The hops balance nicely with the citrus tones. Not too long ago, I probably would have thought the hop bitterness was over the top, but now it is very nice.
It is medium bodied and very drinkable. Overall, an excellent IPA. It reminds me of Stone's Pale Ale, but I like this better.

Jun 25, 2005 Sweet hops with an average bitterness. Everything ties in well together for an above average IPA. Not quite in the elite class of IPAs, but still can’t complain.

May 12, 2005 Pours a clear orange/golden yellow,, small white head fading quickly. Aroma of grapefruit and pine needles, standard IPA style. Flavor is full of bread, pine needles and a yeasty overtone. This brew makes you want to drink more after every sip. Very nice!

Aug 30, 2004 Clear golden color with thick white head. Fresh pine-sol, citrus, grass, and flower aromas. Medium mouthfell with nice weight and a long finish. Creamy flavors of pine, malt, orange, peach, and a bitter finish that lingers. Nice Hophead beer!

Jun 24, 2006 Pours a prismatic hue of orangish golden with a thin foamy off-white head. Aroma of grapefruit, piney mango skins, and spruce. First taste is slightly metallic, probably because it’s been a while since I’ve had a beer this hoppy. While this beer initially tastes like a hopbomb, it eventually mellows into a nice mix of citric hoppiness, alefruits, with a tangy, slightly dry finish. Mouthfeel is full bodied and resinous with lively carbonation. Definitely a beer that can satisfy my hop cravings.
