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!

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - MAR 2, 2006
Beautiful copper color with a giant head. The aroma is sweet, hoppy, fruity (oranges, grapefruit and apricots) and with some vanilla. The body is full, malty, almost chewy even if the gravity is not high, with lovely hop resins and good fruitnees; mellow feeling. At this ABV, excellent!

Oakes (9994) - Gibsons, British Columbia, CANADA - DEC 7, 2003
UPDATED: JAN 30, 2009 Coppery colour. Grapefruity aroma, with slight toast. Refreshing, crisp, lemony, grapefruity character. Very dry. The aroma is nice as the glass goes but the palate reveals itself fairly simple. In the rotation but not top of the charts, as IPAs go.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - NOV 9, 2006
Clear almost pilsner yellow with a touch of orange and has a fine white head. Aroma of fruits (citrus), hops and flowers. A bit of yeasty notes (wheat). Softly carbonated with a smooth feel. Fine balance between the powerfull hops and sweet malts. Fine lacings on the side of the glass. Nice bitter hoppy (Sharp & soapy) finish that is lasting. Great IPA!
