3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
This poured a semi cloudy bright oranage color with a beige head. Aroma was of herbala nd citrusy hops, and soem caramel and biscuit malt. Flavor was a bit of a disappointment, very sweet, with notes of fruit and bitterness, but way too much residual sugar to be top notch.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 18/20
Deep golden color out of the bottle with a sticky white head. Thick syrupy sweet nose with hop resin and burnt honey notes. This is a sweet beer with tons of hop resins, candied grapefruit rind and pine. Big malty backbone with a long, pinching bitterness in the finish. Nice IIPA.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
The medium bitterness is not overpowering but very solid and long lasting.
3.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Pours a bright gold with a pillowy head, nose is nice. Taste is hops but balanced out with a malt background. Good example of this style but not my favorite.
4.5 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Bomber. Appearance is a bright gold and rusted orange color with a thick layer of white foam. The smell is potently sweet and floral with lots of orange blossom, ruby red grapefruit, pineapple and hops oil. The taste starts out with an aggressive dose of vegetal, resiny hops and orange citrus in addition to some candied grapefruit peel, tropical fruit and pine. Also a bit of a lightly toasted malt presence in the background. In the body, there’s exactly the right amount of carbonation and alcohol to keep it smooth and balanced. Overall, it’s just as flavorful and complex as The Maharaja with a noticeably lower yet still strong ABV to make it a tad more drinkable.

This was purchased for waching NFL palyoffs. It is a big IPA. The 22oz bottle has a gold foil over the cap. The IPA poured a hazy gold with big bubbles for the head. The piny aroma let’s you know that something is special. The bitter taste from the hops lingers through the finish. Active carbonation with a medium body and bold bitterness. Avery Brewing has earned my respect.
3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
On tap at Rattle N Hum. Dark orange/amber with a finger-wide white head. Aroma is very fruity for a double IPA with notes of apricots, peaches, orange peel, and caramel. Some spruce and grassy notes as well. Flavor is also on the sweet/fruit side but with a nice bitter and hoppy undertone. Sugar and pale malts aftertaste. Cream mouth-feel, medium bodied.
