When I moved to Colorado and asked the locals what the best IPA in the state was, this is the beer that the majority of locals pointed me toward. Well, I’ve probably bought and finished off 5-6 6-packs of this brew over the years, and I think that it ranks right up there with the best. Great fresh hop aroma and taste with a lingering fresh hopped aftertaste. This is a very drinkable highly hopped beer, and I recommend it to all IPA drinkers.

Avery IPA is a cloudy golden ale with a soft, dense, bubbly offwhite head that has excellent retention and lacing. It has a green, hoppy aroma with notes of pine needles, pine resin and oranges. It has a slick medium body with a clean, silky finish. It’s nice and bitter with a hint of sweetness. There’s lots of pine and a hint of orange and grapefruit. It has a long, bitter, resiny aftertaste. It’s a very solid Western IPA.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Poured from a 12 ounce bottle into a Samuel Adams Perfect Pint glass.
Appearance: Pours an opaque light golden color with mild orange highlights. Features a 3-4 finger creamy white head. Excellent head retention and lacing.
Smell: Sweet floral and citrus hops with a light hint of malt in the background. Smells a bit sweet.
Taste: Grapefruit and pine up front with toasted malt in the middle and more bitter grapefruit at the finish. Very bitter finish - not a negative. The taste is not reflected in the aroma. I detect almost no sweetness in the taste whatsoever.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied with a high amount of carbonation.
Drinkability: High drinkability. You could knock back a few without much difficulty.
Overall: Solid IPA. Not the best in class but worth trying.
