3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 beerchugger (709) - North Canton, Ohio, USA - JAN 15, 2010
Pours a light golden with a dense white head to it that leaves plenty of attractive lacing behind. Smells of nice citrusy hops...grapefruit being very dominate. Kind of an earthiness to it as well as some sweet sugars showing in the nose. It has a strong initial bitterness to it which is balanced with a swee malty backbone. Medium length finish that the bitterness commands.

Pours clear orange with a decent white head that fades. Aroma of grapefruit and sweet citrus. Taste is bitter pine resin up front that fades to a sweeter grapefruit hop. The thick malt body supports the hops well. Medium-thin body.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 BobbyAnalog (196) - San Diego, California, USA - JAN 15, 2010
Flushed with a floral aroma, Avery’s IPA, upon my initial examination, looked and smelled like a potent brew. Unfortunately the hops seem practically neutered; the flavor punchy; and the aftertaste propped my tongue up with a clammy and sudsy film. I cant say that this specific IPA was terrible, but it was underdeveloped and without the typical bang of other Indian Pale Ales.

Clear golden color. Aroma is of floral hops, a little citrus, and some slight pine. Flavor is full of hops, it also has a little citrus-ness in there as well. Leaves a nice fresh hop finish. The guys from Avery made a good one here.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 r1dermon (14) - Massachusetts, USA - JAN 11, 2010
this was sort of average for me. pours a budweiser head that receeds quickly and barely any hint of lacing. aromas are citrusy oranges, grapefruits, hint of lemon. body is on the thin side and there is no malt to be found, kind of one dimentional with the overpowering grapefruit on the palate as well...a decent IPA, but there’s better for the money.

Bottle from VBM in Buffalo. Pours a clear golden body with a small, quick white head. Aroma is citrus, hops, straw with some funky soapy notes. Flavor is nice lemon citrus, hops, bitter malts. Thinner body. A lot of fresh citrus flavors in this beer. Solid IPA.
3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 MeadMe (944) - Riverview, Florida, USA - JAN 10, 2010
A: Pours a nice golden yellow color with a nice head. The head does die down nicely and some lacing is left behind.
S: Very floral aromas. I don’t know my flowers, to describe the floral quality, but it was very nice. In the background a hint of grapefruit was noted.
T: Very nice. Big hop bite right from the start. This is a hop lovers IPA. There was a combination of lemon, oranges. The best part is it finishes with a peach sweetness.
M: Nice and bubbly

Clear golden pour with a white head. Nice retention and lacing. Aroma is of slight caramel dominated by hops and citrus. Flavor is sweet up front that leads to a semi-dry, resinous and bitter finish. Medium body, moderate carbonation, minimal alcohol warmth. A nice and dangerously quaffable IPA.
