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!

A flaming bright yellow tint in this one with some nice head. Smells like hops. Has a floral hop dominated flavor, yet seems to be watered down. Uninspiring, though I expected alot from this one, so it remains slightly above average as compared.

ClubGonzo (1732) - Bergen, NORWAY - APR 1, 2010
UPDATED: NOV 22, 2010 Bottle @ Henrik, Bergen. Classic IPA, with a lot of grassy hop flavors with a bit of fruitiness to mellow it out a bit. Bitter all the way from start to finish, but not very characteristic in any way. Good beer, though.

MadIndian (1731) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 14, 2010
Bottle from Philadelphia craft beer store. Golden/orange pour with sweet malt and pine aroma. Floral hoppy pine taste with hints of orange peel. The alcohol was blended well and it finished dry and crisp. I enjoyed it.

pineypower (1730) - Pine Barrens, New Jersey, USA - MAY 22, 2009
Pours out a mostly clear golden color with a small bubbly white head. Aroma is of citrus and slight pine hops and a little lingering sweet malt. Taste is citrus and pine hops with a balance of some sweet malts, slight floral hops in there also. Well balanced. Overall a very solid IPA.

msante79 (1724) - Mount Prospect, Illinois, USA - MAR 26, 2010
12oz bottle off the singles rack at Dobby’s Liquor World. Pours clear golden with white head. Aromasof citrus, pine, and hops. Flavor of mostly citrus and bitter hops with some pine and malt. Finishes with bitter hops. This is the perfect example of your standard IPA. Cannot believe I have not rated this before.

A wonderful aroma of citrus and pine hits you. The flavor is a bit more subdued. Not as much hop as the aroma might indicate. Very nice dry finish. Another winner from Avery.
