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!

Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Bright gold with white head, a bit light compared to a lot of IPAs, but very pretty. Really fresh hops in the nose, mostly orange and lemon citrus, with some herbal notes in the background. Flavor is again a hop fiesta, really fresh and juicy, over a nicely sweet light malt. Medium hops bitterness throughout balances everything nicely. Full and creamy, with a citrusy aftertaste. This was just delightful, really nicely done!

Very enjoyable IPA with the quintessential look and feel of what I like in a hoppy brew. A hint of English malts and sweet and fruity NW hops. Perfect tawny body and bustling off-white head. Yum!

Bottle. Pours super clear orangish yellow w/~1cm white head. Dissipates quickly to foam and a little lacing. Big, citrusy, piney, florally, sweet aroma. Bitter up front, then really well balanced with a lot of different, complex hop flavors - citrus, floral, spicy, piney. Solidy backbone of maltiness, a little sweet. Medium mouthfeel - smooth and buttery on the tongue with a nice, crisp finish. Definitely one of my favorite IPA’s. A tiny bit over the top, but what else do you expect from Avery. Just great, I love Avery brews.

Purchased at Gomer’s of Kansas. Pours a copper color with a white head. A nice strong hop aroma, grapefruit, and some floral aroma as well. Tasting some grapefruit around the hops but not too much. Finishes crisp with hops and is a great IPA.

Cask drawn, this among the best IPA’s I’ve ever had. Full rich flavor, huge hop nose and flavor, nice crisp bitterness, and a wonderfully thick and foamy head. I only wish I could get it like this all the time.
