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!

garthicus (2006) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 1, 2009
Appearance: Golden yellow with a nice amount of carbonation and a nice white head. Aroma: Ahh cat piss! Lots of hops, bitterness is mouthwatering, malt, peaches - very nice. Flavour: Cat piss again, delicious, lots of dry bitterness and a pine resin in the finish.

cprochak (581) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - AUG 30, 2009
On tap at the brewery on 7/17/09 (dry-hopped). Pours clear gold with nice bubbly head. Pine hops dominate the aroma. As you take your first sip, you get a straight shot of dry bitterness with carries through into a long lingering finish.

Hopper (751) - The Alamo, Texas, USA - AUG 21, 2009
A golden beer with a 2 finger head. Aroma was decent with pine, fruity, & sweet. The taste was sweet, piney, & mildly bitter with nice lacing on the glass. Not a bad IPA

Haack (101) - Hornslet, DENMARK - AUG 18, 2009
Uhm- IPA. I am a big fan of US IPA and this one is in the "bitter" end. More than most IPA’s but after my oppinion spot on with the hops. I would like more distription and alcoholprocentes on the bottle like in EU.

DeadGirl (473) - La Jolla, California, USA - AUG 17, 2009
UPDATED: APR 29, 2010 On tap at Yard House (West Palm Beach): The aroma and taste is straight up IPA. What distinguishes this ale from most others is the citrusy feel throughout- not so much lemon, more grapefruit and orange. Hoppy for sure, and has that IPA-like taste of liquid bread. Carbonation is anything but overly fizzy. Extremely well balanced. #088 on 17082009, DG.

nqualls (1452) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 16, 2009

Source:Tap at Barley’s in Knoxville.
Glass:Pint.
Appearance:Clear gold/amber with a thin off white head.
Aroma:Bready malt and flowers, with a hint of citrus on the nose.
Flavor:Solid malt base with a resinous finish. A bit of citrus as well.
Palate:Medium body with solid carbonation.
Overall:This was good. I’ve had this from the bottle, but most times it isn’t fresh. Draught was far superior.

greig (253) - Hamilton, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 7, 2009
What a beer. Beautiful gold, with a persistent and sticky white head. Aroma of biscuity malt and floral hops. Delicious rounded malt on the palate with complex floral/perfumey hops. Dense, firm bitterness without peeling the tongue. I could drink a lot of this. Love that it has made it to New Zealand.
