Avery IPA

Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: India Pale Ale (IPA)
Boulder, Colorado USA

Serve in Shaker, Tulip

Bottled. An orange-amber beer with a slight haze under a thick bubble beige head. The aroma is very grassy and grapefruity - very fresh. The flavor is sweet and very hoppy at first with strong notes of grass, then a hay character comes along, to be overwhelmed grapefruit notes, which carries thru to a dry hay like and very bitter end. Somewhere in the middle a slight note of caramel creeps in - but this is mainly a hoppy beer nice.

Slightly hazy gold. Thick heavy foam. Strong grapefruit aroma. Strong hop flavour with lasting finish and a gentle sweetness. Well made.

Bottle. Pours a light golden-orange coloured body with a large frothy white head slowly receding leaving lace sheets. Beautiful IPA aroma - tons of orange citrus oil and doughy bread. Big hoppy bite up front...sharp and piney for the most part with an underlying creaminess. Long and chewy bitter finish. A solid IPA! Purchased at Bello Vino in Ann Arbor in April 2006.

UPDATED: SEP 4, 2003 Golden coloured beer if i've ever seen golden, with a dense white head. Smells of citrus, sweet pineapple and very fragrant hops. A very nice aroma, and definately mouth-watering. Piney in the hops and sweet with the malt. Medium-bodied; The tates lasts for a long-time and the hops are the primary flavour (which they should be). Aftertaste full of the piney hops and bitter the mouth...a real treat for Hop-heads like me! Overall one of the better American IPAs. Pick one up if you can find it! Even though i've had this beer before, I still enjoy posting new reviews for the same beer. I bougtht this single 12 ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wines & Spirits in Washington, D.C. I sampled this beer on 30-August-2003. Rating for this tasting: 9,4,9,4,16. Previous Tasting:
Light in colour, very hoppy in the nose...citrusey and hoppy taste...light-bodied, but enjoyable!

My first experience with an IPA. Nice golden color, and an aroma that overflowed with citrus smells. White foamy head. The taste was excellent. The citrus that was there in the aroma came through in the taste. The hops were also very present. My introduction to IPAs was a good one, and cannot wait to try more.

poured inot a tulip glass to give off a golden color with a nice 1 inch white head.the aroma was full of citrus and pine style hops.the flavor had the aroma plus a little bit of earth,and ended on a sour note.pretty good ipa.

really great beer that has a fantastic smell. it looks a little strawy but it tastes wonderful.

Pours a light orange with a medium off white head. Aroma is very fruity, also some hops, floral, and lemon are noticible. This well rounded beer has flavors of malts, hops, grapefruit, and mandarin. With a creamy palate. Much different from the rest. A great IPA !
