Bottle from Bello Vino in Ann Arbor. Nice firey golden-amber with a small white head. Aroma has great herbal tea and citrus notes. Nice smoothmouthfeel. Big, crisp hops in the flavour, balanced with a soft malt backing. Good stuff, would be a great session beer if I could get it around here.

Draught at Flying Saucer Draught Emporium, Houston, Texas.
Creamy off-white head, clear orange body. Hoppy and flowery aroma with a creamy tone behind the bitterness. Hops is dominating in the flavor along with flowers and nuts. Dry and bitter and a classic IPA. Thick mouthfull.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Amber pour, off white fluffy head and some spotty lacing. Citrus hops on the nose. Slightly thin bodied with some decent hops flavoring, however I was hoping for some more maltiness

Good floral aroma to this one like walking into a flower shop and taking a good wiff. Body was a golden cololor. White head that was decent. Citrus hop flavor that most IPA have was good. Cool and crisp on the palate. Great beer after a day of work.

10.10.04 12oz bottle thanks to springslicker. Beer colored pour with ample, sticky head. Giant c-hop grapefruit goodness aromas, I love it already. Super sharp hops, lemon/grapefruit citrus, dominate the flavor with just enough maltiness to remind me it’s still beer. A very nice standard offering from a brewer that I often think goes a couple steps too far. This is Avery’s 60min IPA (or vice versa), the beer that showcases great craft and still a pandering to the beer geeks. A centerpiece. If I lived in CO, this would be a go-to brew. Could I be any more redundant?

UPDATED: AUG 23, 2010 Bottle. Clear gold with a huge, over-carbonated head that lasts with good foamy lace. Aroma is grapefruit and pine-grassy hops. Flavor is good balance of sweet malt and citrus hops; gets increasingly hoppier and ends with a nutty-cocoa and resin-crisp aftertaste. Smooth, dryish and easy, with surprisingly little tingle for all the hops and carbonation. Nice, widely available AIPA.
