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!

Pretty decent IPA, distinctly Avery. Paler side of gold, decent head. Not particularly aggressive for an IPA, though definitely a sessionable IPA. Nice.

LilBeerDoctor (2568) - East Setauket, New York, USA - SEP 21, 2008
Bottle courtesy of sloth. Pours a clear light orange with a thick, foamy white head. Aroma of floral, citrus, and bitter hops. Flavor of nice floral hops with a slight hint of bitter pine in the finish. Nice hops/malt balance. Excellent IPA.

The look cloudy but still almost clear. Nice white head. The smell is flowers, hops, pine, and citrus fruits. The taste is a medium bitterness, piney, grapefruit, and other citrus fruits.

UPDATED: JAN 31, 2004 A good IPA, but not excelent-I am a huge fan of Avery's products, but this one is just a little under par-nice orange color and fruit aroma. a tad thin in the body. good session beer though

Decent IPA, nothing more. Just very, very nondescript form just about every standpoint.

12 oz bottle. I’m hoping that somehow this was a bad bottle because I can’t imagine Avery intended the beer to be this way. The bottle opened fine and after Iwalked twney feet to go outside and pour it all that came out was foam, foam and more foam. After twenty minutes of allowing the head to disipate and pouring the rest in this beer had a honey like appearance and looked flat. Mouthfeel was flat I guess all that foam ate up the carbonation. Aroma, when there was some detectable under that GIANT foamy head, was citrus hops and flavor was mildly sweet with a slight bitter aftertaste but not much hops. Maybe I will rerate this one day but for now this is a pass.

12 oz bottle pours golden with an offwhite head that lingers and laces well. Aroma is mostly grapefruit, grass, pine, and a touch of malt. Flavor is more of tangerine, a touch of grapefruit, and some caramel malts. Finishes fairly bitter with a little aftertaste. Balanced pretty well on the palate. The hops and malts go hand and hand in this beer. A pretty nice IPA I enjoyed it.
