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!

The appearance is clear straw yellow with a rocky off-white head. See-through with some bubbles sticking to the glass. Cloudier with a more vigorous pour. The smell is resiny hop up front; woody. Some roasted rye-like malts. A nice balance, but quite bitter all the way around. The taste is roasted pale malts at first, followed by some pine/spruce. Really hoppy in the woody sense. The malts leave a burnt aftertaste, which is perfect for balance. In the mouth, the malt sticks around all over the tongue; thick and creamy and hella nice. It’s a very nice, woody, pale IPA.

mixmasterob (637) - Marietta, Georgia, USA - JAN 28, 2011
Poured from a can to a glass. Beautiful super clear golden pour with a big 2 finger white head. Good retention, left big rings of lace. Aroma was a bit toned down out of the can, much better the few times I had this on draught. Quite malt forward, somewhat grainy, light hop. Flavors were super crisp, dry and refreshing. Hops were strategically strewn throughout although not in huge fashion. Light citrus notes. Excellently balanced.

Nose is a strong whiff of citrus, floral hops. Taste isn’t quite as impressive, the hops lose some of their kick and there is a bit of an astringency in the finish. Still good.

portableparty (1005) - Blaine, Minnesota, USA - JUN 23, 2011
12 oz. Bottle to snifter. Cloudy amber pour that has a good foamy white head that fades to a sticky collar and whispy film. Aroma is solid caramel and mild spruce hops. Taste is sweet burnt sugar caramel and the hops are resinous and mild spruce and pine notes. Palate is medium mouthfeel and finishes chaulky. Good one!

taphandle (983) - Texas, USA - AUG 3, 2010
Clear yellow, huge head with big bubbles that sticks to the glass. Aroma is lots of pineappley hops. Taste is sweet, bitter, and more pineapple hops with a finish that matches. It’s actually a fine and refreshing IPA.

355ml bottle @ Pikkulintu, Helsinki

Pours orange with a small foamy head. Aroma has hints of exotic fruits and hops. Taste is sweet, carbonated and has hints of exotic fruits. Longlasting bitter finish, alcohol warms nicely. Great IPA.
