3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a golden color with a nice uneven white foamy head. Aroma is tart hop but not the grapefruit variety. It is a nice feature of the beer and is floral and refreshing. Flavor is more bitter than tart and has a nice amount of malt. There is pine and some sour apple. This is as good an IPA as I have sampled. Very well done, Avery!

Very nice floral and fresh hoppy aroma. Flavors of piney hops, grapefruit, citrus, and some caramel. A nice drinkable IPA.

(Draught) Appeared as orange and cloudy. Head was medium sized and white. Aroma was very fruity and hoppy. Palate had medium body and freshness with medium carbonation. Malts, hops, fruitiness, citricness, lightly sweetness and bitterness could be found from the taste of the beer. Aftertaste was fruity and bitter. Really good IPA.

UPDATED: APR 18, 2009 tap @ papago. a crystal clear copper beer topped with a fluffy whitish head which leaves nice light lace work. grapefruit and orange aromas dominate over caramel, toasted grain, and light pine. flavor is nicely hopped w/o overkilling my palate... wood, citrus rind and a savory element which keeps it from being too sweet. grassy dry finish. nice texture and smooth mouth feel. 7/3/7/4/16/3.7
on tap this is the beez neez. perfectly balanced for sessioning yet crisp and refreshing enough to satisfy with just one. gotta respect a beer that can do that! 8/3/8/4/17/4

Noticed the aroma as soon as I started pouring it, citrus and cut grass. The taste comes across the same with a little more of the grapefruit , lovely bitterness, drank well.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear medium gold with a thick, frothy head. Lots of carbonation bubbles. Pleasant aroma dominated by graprefruit with some pine notes as well. The flavor is also dominated by grapefruit. If there’s malt in this beer, I didn’t taste any of it, as this brew is decidedly hoppy. This is truly a beer made "for hopheads."

I had this on draught today when I visited Avery's brewery in Boulder, Colorado. If you ever decide to visit them, be warned, this is a ***small*** place and easy to miss. Heed the directions on their website and turn by the carwash (they're behind it).
The IPA poured a clear golded color with a hoppy flavor and nose. I thought it was very tasty.
3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours a transparent copper with a thick off white head. There was a slight hop bitterness in the aroma with a surprising lack of the expected hop aromas. The flavor has a sweet hoppiness and bitterness and some piney fruity notes. The palate and finish are both waxy and bitter with a slight warmth.
