Jul 26, 2004 This is a good quality IPA. Not the best I’ve ever had but I could enjoy one of these on a daily basis. Pours a nice copper color with a decent sized ivory head. The nose is a citrusy hop scent. With a smooth creamy texture and citrus hop flavors that aren’t overwhelming. Simple but good.

Sep 6, 2003 Updated: Dec 10, 2003Not a huge fan of the IPA style in general but I can still appreciate them. Aroma is bitter and hoppy with a bit of tart fruitiness. Appearance is amber in color and certainly inviting. Flavor is bitter and hoppy with a touch of sweetness that makes the flavors go well together. A good IPA but not my favorite.

Sep 29, 2007 Smells isn’t too hoppy or floral or citrusy, but okay. Nice meringue head that tastes good. Flavor is dominated by bittering hops, too much so. Still the very aftertaste is somewhat smooth and enjoyable. Good, just not great.

Feb 5, 2005 Pours a cloudy amber with a big frothy white head. Aroma of orange peel and pine. Flavor is quite piney and bitter, with a creamy maltiness backing it up. Palate is smooth and crisp. A very nice IPA!

Aug 21, 2003 12 oz. brown bottle. No freshness date noticed. Poured out an exceptionally clear golden yellow color. Fast fading off-white head left a thin lacing on top of the beer. Aromas right away of Cascade hops. Some maltiness also detected. Fresh cut grass aroma as well. Tastes a bit metallic at first, then the hops kick in. A weak malt backbone struggles to keep up with the hoppiness of this brew. Coats the tongue with a syrup-like consistency. Finishes bitter, and slightly metallic. A good beer overall, but the metallic taste detracts from the overall experience.

May 18, 2003 Updated: Aug 7, 2004I think this is a great IPA.Pours out a nice rich slight orange but more golden color,the head is retained and lace is very detailed(marked by each sip).Smells of roasty heady citric(almost nectar like hoppiness,some estery yeast?(crystal malts in there too) and a tease of canny tomatoe.Had a bite on the palate that kept me comin' back.Columbus,Styrian golding & Centennial hops on the bill.Great work Avery. Only IPA I've tried w/the super crispy Styrian used.This beer is best Fresh.This sample I just re-rated was bottled on 6-29-04.Not the best IPA(some kind of almost burnt harsh flavor in there) but when it's young, it is one hell of an IPA.Great mouthfeel with nice light carbonation.Not a hop monster but a unique treasure when fresh.Bottling dates are printed on the cases.Cheers

Apr 30, 2006 Bottle. Warm golden with bubbly head. Lovely fruityness - lychees, peaches, apricot, heavily bitter, medium bodied. I liked this.

Aug 8, 2004 Bottle. Nose of grapefruit with spicy and earthy notes. Pours a clear copper color with great head and lacing. Nice citrus bitterness with a good malt profile. Bitter finish that lasts a while. Very nice IPA!
