4.2 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Pours a golden color with a dense off white head.
The aroma is big and citrusy that screams off the wall hops.
The taste is citrus hops all over the tongue with enough malt to give it depth. I say that is well-balanced for an IPA.
The mouthfeel is smooth and crisp with a dry finish. Drinkability is only hurt by its intense dry and crisp finish, the hops bruised by tongue, i think.

Bottled version. This beer pours a dull yellow with a medium white head. The aromas are citrus, pine and bread. The mouthfeel is sticky and bitter with a heavy body. Really good beer! Cheers!

12oz bottle into a limited pilsner glass. Taste is hoppy, fresh citrus, mild grain, tart melon, and smooth amber waves. Color is golden light red with copper highlights. Head is medium solid and simmers to mostly full top cover. A fresh and satisfying IPA here, this is a nice choice. The taste is up front, hoppy, and then bitter, leaving an overwhelming option to drink more. Thus, an invitation that can not be passed... Great brew

on par with the best IPA’s Avery does it again. Smooth, bubbly and flavorful this is a very well rounded beer.

Draft, Baja Bean, Staunton VA. Bright gold with white head, a bit light compared to a lot of IPAs, but very pretty. Really fresh hops in the nose, mostly orange and lemon citrus, with some herbal notes in the background. Flavor is again a hop fiesta, really fresh and juicy, over a nicely sweet light malt. Medium hops bitterness throughout balances everything nicely. Full and creamy, with a citrusy aftertaste. This was just delightful, really nicely done!

Very enjoyable IPA with the quintessential look and feel of what I like in a hoppy brew. A hint of English malts and sweet and fruity NW hops. Perfect tawny body and bustling off-white head. Yum!

Bottle. Pours super clear orangish yellow w/~1cm white head. Dissipates quickly to foam and a little lacing. Big, citrusy, piney, florally, sweet aroma. Bitter up front, then really well balanced with a lot of different, complex hop flavors - citrus, floral, spicy, piney. Solidy backbone of maltiness, a little sweet. Medium mouthfeel - smooth and buttery on the tongue with a nice, crisp finish. Definitely one of my favorite IPA’s. A tiny bit over the top, but what else do you expect from Avery. Just great, I love Avery brews.

Holy smokes this stuff is good. I could drink this all night long... hoppy, grapefruity, great mouthfeel. Truly a great IPA.
