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!

Bottle at beerbistro. Nice beer. Pours amber with good amount of white head. Good amount of floral, citrusy hops, but not over the top.

Barrios (1243) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - AUG 1, 2009
Pours an off-white head with lace and a clear, deep golden body. Smells of floral and citrus hops. Flavors of floral and spicy hops. Bitter finish. Good stuff for a session.

jezmez68 (358) - Chesterton, Indiana, USA - JUL 31, 2009
A good example of the style. Smells of American hops; citrusy, floral, pine, catbox. Excellent. Very balanced flavor.

The appearance is clear straw yellow with a rocky off-white head. See-through with some bubbles sticking to the glass. Cloudier with a more vigorous pour. The smell is resiny hop up front; woody. Some roasted rye-like malts. A nice balance, but quite bitter all the way around. The taste is roasted pale malts at first, followed by some pine/spruce. Really hoppy in the woody sense. The malts leave a burnt aftertaste, which is perfect for balance. In the mouth, the malt sticks around all over the tongue; thick and creamy and hella nice. It’s a very nice, woody, pale IPA.

randolphjj (116) - Raymore, Missouri, USA - JUL 29, 2009
Coppery gold with a thin white head, bottle pour. Nice nose of that citrus I like in a pale. Not a big IPA, but more of a session IPA. Reliable stand-by.

phaleslu (3178) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - JUL 23, 2009
12 oz. bottle from Mt. Adams Bar & Grill in Cincinnati. Pours gold/amber with small white head. Moderate carbonation. Aroma of hops and citrus, flavor of the same, primarily hops, with a little sugar and spice to boot. Definitely an above average IPA but not nearly in the class of Avery’s Maharaja.

minch25 (550) - Medford, Massachusetts, USA - JUL 23, 2009
Orange, thin head. Medium bodied. Floral, hoppy, citrus - orange, grapefruit. A good, reliable wash-down-some-greasy-food ipa.

arminjewell (2442) - Parker, Colorado, USA - JUL 21, 2009
Poured orange/red with a nice white head, nose full of citrus and floral hop notes. Thick palate of full hop flavor with little malt backing, allowing a nice bitter finish. An excellent example of an IPA!
