4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
This beer was my first encounter with Avery, and to be honest I bought it for the great label. It has since become one of my mainstay IPA’s due to its well balanced dance with the hops and malt.

Golden light brown pour from bottle into shaker, small white head. Sweet hoppy aroma, mostly citrus, a little floral. Great medium body. Lots of citrus hop flavor (again, mostly citrus and a kittle floral) with malt coming through on the swallow. Bitter hoppy finish. Great all around IPA.

Pours a clear gold with a white fluffy head. Aroma of distant tropical fruits. Not so hoppy, but bitter linger. Not the best offering, but like the can,

12oz can pours a lively yellow with a big white head. Aromas are soapy pine sap sine flural hops and a light citrus. Flair is very bitter. Body is oily and medium with a dry astringent finish
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. The pour was a murky medium orange with some yellow highlights and a small (1 finger or less) white creamy head that was somewhat lasting, finally receding to a large puddle with a small collar which produced some excellent sheeting of lace that coated the glass.
The aroma was of floral and spruce hops, a grain malt and a soapy yeast with notes of caramel and citrus (grapefruit).
The taste was nicely bitter and lightly malty with a mild sweet caramel undertone from the start, progressing into a nice bitter hoppy taste with just a hint of citrus at the end. The flavor was around for an average time proceeding the swallow with a mild bitter hoppiness left to linger.
Mouthfeel was a few steps below medium in body with a dry texture and a mild to medium carbonation.
Overall an IPA with a light maltiness and a bit of citrus, which complimented the hoppiness very well...

Can. Clear, golden colour, creamy and lacy head. Aroma has fresh grapefruity and sweetly floral hops and surpirisgly rich caramel maltiness. Some herbal notes. Sweetish caramelly and intensly bitter flavor. Lingering bitter, slightly resiny finish. Caramel makes texture rather oily and I´d appreciate slightly frothier touch. Great IPA, anyway.
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
The aroma on this one smells dirty, actually, like something is wrong with the beer. Has a deep golden color with a moderate head. Very hoppy, though the aftertaste is slightly skunky.
