3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours murky golden yellow with small white bubbly head. Aroma is floral with notes of honey. Taste is caramel, hops, sweet yet somewhat bitter. Very good IPA.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
the a-typical IPA. Pours dirty blond with a medium white head. Strong pine and citrus hop aroma. Flavor is nicely balanced biscuit and pale hay and grassy malts with a dry pine and cannabis finish.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very standard IPA. Copper pour in glass. Nose is slightly floral. Taste is light spruce, maples and resin. Rated 9/13/02
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Fair IPA. It’s good enough, but has nothing memorable to write home about.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz bottle. Pours cooper, off white/white head with nice lacing that lasts. Aroma: hops and floral. Flavor: lots of hops, grass. Not as hoppy as I expected- sort of a subdued beer compared to the other Avery offerings. Still a good IPA, but doesn’t differentiate itself.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This brew just bleeds citrus. Heavy, sweet-hoppy nose that almost burns, smells like tangerines or some kind of small, easily peeled orange variety. Light, opaque pour with some lacing and a bit of what is either sediment or (ideally not) evidence of a filthy glass; dry and slightly gritty, thick-ish mouth for an IPA. Taste is strangely VERY different from the nose, hops are pretty big but well balanced with a different, much more bitter citrus scheme. Great smooth, dry finish. A little weaker and more watery than I like an IPA, but very unique and of the highest quality. I didn’t expect it to be as good as the two awesome Avery double IPAs, and it isn’t, but it’s close.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(cask at Meddlesome Moth) hazy deep yellow pour with creamy bubbles and excellent lacing. Nose of Candi sugar, grass and light citrus hops. Taste of earthy hops, lightly bitter citrus, grassy with a creamy/oily finish.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
12 oz. Pours a cloudy orange with luxurious solid head. Aroma of very citrus and slightly piney hops with a hint of malt in the background. For an ipa this is a little more balanced than most with the malt in there. Flavor is mostly bitter with malt subulties sliding in and mixing with a slight alcohol flavor. Medium bodied that goes down smooth with light oilyness that sorta pops out the bitterness at the end.
