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!

Avery just doesnt seem to dissapoint me and this one is no exception. The smell of the hops is abundant, along with a slight earthy tone.

Pigfoot (2266) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - MAY 17, 2004
Appearance: clear, pale orange color, fine, if short, off-white head. Aroma: bristling with pine, citrus, grapefruit, pineapple. Quite a bit of hoppiness in this nose! Taste: fierce and fiery hop bitterness right up front on the palate, but much appreciated and quite delightful. Body is about medium and of sufficient heft, although malt is a bit lean in this IPA, abd the hops continue to stand tall in the saddle throughout the drink. But that’s what I like, li’l ol’ hophead, me. Relentless flavor, tasty, tasty. Real humdinger of an IPA that I’d gladly return to, anytime.

illinismitty (2239) - Nashville, Tennessee, USA - DEC 16, 2005
Bottle. Pours golden with a tinge of orange, along with white fizzy head. Nice aroma kick of hops and pine. The flavor is similar, but nicely complimented by the malt. This may not have the bite that some hopheads desire, but I still like this. Nice bitter finish that is refreshing and not too dry. Lingers nicely at the back of the mouth. Good IPA that I will happily drink again
