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!

I can smell the grapefruit in this one as soon as I open the bottle. A closer sniff ref\veals some sweetness, lightly toasted malt and earthy hops. Great cream yeah with an orangish body. Very refreshing citrus quickly taken over by a dry, butter, rindey citrus. The flavor is rounded out by lightly toasted malts and earthy hops

Bottle. Dark golden/amber color with small off-white head. Aroma of citrus (grapefruit). It’s nicely hoppy. Decent stuff.

Poured with a golden amber body that displayed a slight chill haze. The head was initially about an inch thick and creamy, and settled down to a carpet of bubbles and left a good amount of lace going down. Lively carbonation was quite nice. The aroma was pretty mild for an IPA, with a floral, delicate hop smell that reminded me more of a Pilsner. Taste was very balanced with caramel malts, sweet and tart citric tones, and spicy to floral hop bitterness. It lacked the quintessential “bite” of an IPA, but was a very pleasant experience. Medium creamy mouthfeel with a dry aftertaste. An easy drinking IPA that has enough complexity to keep things interesting. Nice trade 123456green.

I don’t know if it was because I had a long day of work, but this is an outstanding IPA. Pours dark gold and a light white head. Full hop aroma with some strong grapefruit notes. Flavor is a very hoppy but light bodied.

Heavy flowery perfume, grape, citrus, and pine aromas over a sweet background; smooth, round flavor that’s sweet at first, and finishes pleasently and substantially bitter withouth being sharp; firm body; the hops seem to be more in the aroma and flavor. This is a very fine IPA.

The aroma was nice w/ orange zest, pine, and grapefruit. The flavor pretty much the same w/ a slight hint of flowers. The beer poured a golden orange color w/ thin head and thin lasting lacing. The mouthfeel was light and creamy.

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.

Bottle.Spicy, fruity, sweet, yeasty aroma. Clear golden color with a respectable white head. Powerfully pungent flavor with a moderate malt base that barely supports it. Semi-dry, bitter finish. A bracing IPA that features a spicy hop profile more than the typical resinous one. I suspect this a from Styrian Goldings hops. Very good and distinct IPA.
