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!

Pour was a thin copper color that was really more gold than copper. Slightly cloudy. The head was white and foamy. Nice thick three-finger variety. Solid rings of lacing. The aroma was and herbal, piney mess. Where I was expecting nice floral notes I got the smell of a backyard garden on a hot summer day in Oklahoma. Tomato and okra plants. The flavor was sour, herbal and only slightly piney. Methinks I may have gotten a skunky bottle.

A great brewery, and a solid beer. Bitter, well rounded hop. Ends with a dry resin feel/taste.

pours a deep gold colour with a large foamy head. Aroma is caramel and almost cakey sweet malts, citrus, some pine tones. Flavour is crisp malt, grapefruity citrus but more pine hop in the flavour for me. Finishes slightly dry bitter. Very nice.

On top at the Pearl Street Pub. Pours a darker orange. Smells mainly piney and hoppy. Tastes of columbus hops mostly, very piney. A solid IPA.

Pours amber into a shaker. Off-white head with excellent retention leaves slight sheets as it recedes to coat surface. Pine and resin aromas. Crisp and well-balanced. Lasting pine and resin finish. Nice one.

Crushed with Jakebra. Yes, hops and citrus. Citrus on the flavor, and awesomeness. Much awesome hops. Excellent IPA.
