3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Pours hazy orange with white head on tap at Avery. Aroma has notes of big juicy fruit (not the gum) with grapefruit, orange, tangerine, going into bitter pine and grass, some slight biscuit and caramel notes balancing fairly well, big bitter, dry, full bodied finish. Tasty stuff, how I think the regular IPA should be brewed and bottled, the unfiltered adds body and hop character.

UPDATED: SEP 10, 2011 Tasted on tap at the brewery in Boulder. Light golden yellow orange appearance with a pretty sizeable head. Aroma is quite hoppy. Flavor is pretty similar to the normal IPA with a pretty floral hoppy body but the finish is a lot more intense, bitter, and dry.
