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!

12 oz bottle - deep gold hue with a thick and fluffy two-finger head. Big pine, citrus aromas, along with some cereals. Wonderfully refreshing, with a honey-sweet malt backbone that firmly anchors all those glorious, glorious hops. Mildly bitter at the back of the palate, and very refreshing.

Really looking forward to this beer, as it’s suppose to be for beer lover. The aroma was great, pours to a golden yellow body with a nice white head, looked great but didn’t much for this beer. The first taste was overpowering with nothing but a citrus taste, way to strong and while this is a medium body beer, I couldn’t taste much hops, most likely got a bad beer and will retry in time

Pours a bright, but cloudy orange colour- head is fairly large- white and floral. Nice citrusy character, soft and piney but typicaly hopped. My only complaint about this brew is- there’s nothing exciting about it. Pretty standard for the most part. Nothing unique, lots of hops and fruit but basic overall.

Bottle. Pours a dark yellow color. Has a three finger white head. Smells very hoppy. Grains and citrus are noticable. Great IPA. Not as good as Titian IPA.

Brownish orange IPA, two finger off white head leaves tons of lacing and a hoppy aroma. Grainy, earthy hops and a clean lingering finish. Good but not mind blowing.

Bottle. Pours a nice clear light gold color with a little white head. Strong floral citrus aroma, with an intial hoppy flavor that ends slightly malty. Great IPA from just down the road :)
