3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Avery IPA is a cloudy golden ale with a soft, dense, bubbly offwhite head that has excellent retention and lacing. It has a green, hoppy aroma with notes of pine needles, pine resin and oranges. It has a slick medium body with a clean, silky finish. It’s nice and bitter with a hint of sweetness. There’s lots of pine and a hint of orange and grapefruit. It has a long, bitter, resiny aftertaste. It’s a very solid Western IPA.

Pours golden with a medium white head. Aroma is very floral, but not overwhelming. Tastes very balanced, hoppy but with enough malt backbone to make it a very smooth IPA. Very easy to drink and a great session beer. A solid beer from Avery.

UPDATED: AUG 23, 2010 Bottle. Clear gold with a huge, over-carbonated head that lasts with good foamy lace. Aroma is grapefruit and pine-grassy hops. Flavor is good balance of sweet malt and citrus hops; gets increasingly hoppier and ends with a nutty-cocoa and resin-crisp aftertaste. Smooth, dryish and easy, with surprisingly little tingle for all the hops and carbonation. Nice, widely available AIPA.

I was at Specs and decided to try it without knowing anything about this beer. When I got home and tried the first one I was floored. Strong hoppy aroma, nice foamy head. The first drink was fresh and piney with hints of grapefruit. Finishes nice and malty. I had been drinking Dogfish Head 60 IPA lately and this is probably equal or better. Great beer.

Bottle. Pours a hazy golden color with a medium fluffy head. Had a wheat grass aroma and some citrus. The taste was a good balance with the sweet flavor and the bitter finish. a very good IPA

Having heard nothing about this beer prior to purchasing it, I was pleasantly surprised. It pours a deep gold with a large, dense, pillowy, off-white head that takes it’s sweet time in diminishing. The aroma is citrus, pine and flowers. The palate is medium-bodied with a bitter finish that wicks all moisture from the tongue. The flavor is sweet caramel malts up front with a strong floral, pine and citrus hop backing. This is a tasty IPA with a nice lingering finish.

Not the Maharaja, but a very nice hoppy beer. Good smells and a nice end. I could try and get sick of IPAs and this wouldn’t do it. A good beer to watch Monday Night Football with.
