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!

12oz bottle from ABC Liquors Wesley Chapel. Pours clear yellow-orange with a white head. Nose is grapefruit, citrus, and some mild apricot with a hint of honey and some floral hops. Flavor is similar with malt, grapefruit, a hint of orange, and a finish of a hint of malt with the bite of a white grapefruit. Nice, mellow IPA.

Had it on tap about a year ago and really enjoyed it, but decided to review this one from the bottle. Poured into a standard pint glass, comes out a very light amber color. Has some decent clarity with a very slight haze. White head that went away fairly quickly, with a little lacing to the glass. Smell is very good, smell of hops, strong citrus, and a slight floral aroma as well. Taste is very good much like the smell, hops and citrus, mostly a grapefruit. Mouthfeel is good and clean with a slight bite from the citrus. Drinkability is good as well. A very solid IPA, I got it at a bar but would definitely get some for the house.

can... dark clear gold, nice off white head, great lacing... smells awesome, a bit of malt, citrus, dank, nice hop backbone, I can smell this all day, what more can you ask for... the taste is just ok, malty, hops are a bit stale, have a general body odor taste, hops don’t pop like I thought they would, good start but ended up a let down

Noticed the aroma as soon as I started pouring it, citrus and cut grass. The taste comes across the same with a little more of the grapefruit , lovely bitterness, drank well.

Aroma of citrus and pine. Pours a hazy yellow. TAste is initially sweet with overtones of orange and honey. It turns quickly spicy with floral and citrus hops. Standard ipa faire.

Draft at Paradiso Dupont, courtesy of Greg - thank you sir! Pale yellow color, thick white head. Aroma of wet grass and light citrus. Taste is bright citrus with very nice balance and a smoothly bitter finish. Good stuff.
