draft at the brewery. Pours amber with white head. Aroma has a big fresh pine and citrus aroma. Flavors are fresh citrus, piney, rustic caramel base lots of bitterness does balance it. Rather tasty

Pour on tap is clear orange, thin white head big resinous pine, fruity orange and grapefruit, touch of caramel, slight lemon as well. Taste is a nice mix of orange, grapefruit, touch of biscuit, some slight lemon notes, finishing fairly dry, slightly bitter.

draft. requisite maraschino cherry / sweet red apple / mandarin orange / pine resin hop character of Hog Heaven. medium body, harsh carbonation and rough malt, as is typically the case with Avery. consumed in red apple skin / jolly rancher sweetness with resinous pine sap hop astringency lingering in the candied apple and rough holly / acrid berry / twig finish.

Tap @ Avery taproom. Reddish orange appearance with a white head. Fairly potent, piney, resiny, a touch citrusy hoppy, rich toasty malty aroma. Large malt and hop flavor: toasty caramel malts and piney/resiny hops. Tasty, easy drinking beer.

On tap at the brewery in August 2009. Reviewed from notes. Pours a moderate brown color with a white head. Nose is of citrus zest along with a bit of pine. Some caramel sweetness as well. Taste hits harder on some of the hoppy notes, but with a somewhat restrained bitterness. Body is fairly thick and nicely bitter. Drinks alright, although the combination of the body and the taste is a bit off. Overall, an interesting concept and quite good. Serving type: on-tap Reviewed on: 10-13-2010

built for the arizona summer yet somehow it is on tap 11/19/2009 at papago? pours hazy dirty brown-orange-ish copper with a thick creamy white cap. the nose is... wow!... hoppy... peaches, citrus/grapefruit/orange, spice, slight pine and earthy/dirty. the flavor is same...kinda dirty but clean at the same time??... lots of tropical fruit, peaches and citrus dominate the dirt and pale malt. it is bitter, refreshingly dry and almost parching. the body is medium though it has a lightness and a crisp texture. i love that i could drink this all day! 7/4/8/4/16/3.9

On Tap at the Avery Brewing Company, Boulder 23/09/2009 Orange fruit aroma. Golden coloured strong in alcohol and hoppy with a little bitterness in a crisp malt finish.

tap @ HamiltonsOrange gold color. Small head. Aroma is floral hops and caramel. A medium bodied Pale. Malts are fruity and sweet. Hops are fairly aggressive, floral and citrusy. Lots of malt flavors balanced by a lot of floral hops for a 4.6% ABV beer. Smooth taste. Nice balance. A perfect session beer for a hop-head. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth. Aftertaste is bitter.

Pours a sunset yellow with thin head. nose is loaded with hops, big grapefruit hops and pine resin. Pungent as a mofo. Taste is great, very light in body, slight toffee sweetness, but for the most part a fairly dry pale ale with tons of hop flavor, tons of hop bitterness, slightly harsh at times, but overall an amazing and extremely session-able ale.

This is a true pale ale. Hoppy and citrusy but not tongue bending. Just the right amount of carbonation. This is well done.
