Good smell and color head remained fairly constant. Body was a little bit basic but taste was very complex. Of this beer had balance it would move into the top class of IPA's. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Very tasty ipa. Not as over the top hoppy as some can get. One of the best ive had. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Huge hop expression remains unencumbered by malt to the degree that many DIPA’s do. Balance exists but myself hops outpace malt in an appealing way.

Amaro e fruttato al naso e al gusto connubio perfetto per questa pale ale di stapp americano :) ---Rated BY Italianbeer85

Née en mai 2013, cette IPA est jaune-dorée et fabrique une extraordinaire tête mousseuse. Je pense encore à cette dentelle et je suis encore épaté. Son nez est tout simplement sublime. Les herbes fraîches et les fleurs se marient parfaitement aux notes citronnées, aux parfums d’abricots et aux effluves de poires. Les céréales maltées restent pâles, comme un beau craquelin sec et croustillant. Le goût est fabuleux. J’aime beaucoup le choc entre les saveurs élégantes du citron et des agrumes et les saveurs croquantes des céréales pâles. Je savoure aussi chaque parcelle de flaveurs apportées par les fleurs et par les conifères. En bouche, c’est un corps bien léger qui prend les devants mais qui se gonfle rapidement devant l’étendue des flaveurs. Son pétillement modéré et sa texture huileuse sont des facteurs qui prolongent considérablement mon bonheur. La finale très sèche et intensément florale et résineuse me confirme que je suis ici devant une IPA bien capable de créer un événement. Une bière tellement facile à boire. Une belle surprise.

12oz bottle from Sam’s, Durham. Avery kinda gets lost in the shuffle these days, but their offerings range from solid to very good. Count this IPA in the former category, but that’s not a huge knock. Bright gleaming amber pour with a medium head. Nose is floral and a bit bitter without being overwhelmingly pungent. Balanced flavors with solid malts to give some shape to the citrus and pine. Well done but there’s simply an avalanche of IPAs out there.

Pours a nice light amber with a golden hue. Aroma is grassy, scallions, pine, with a faint citrusy grapefruit. The scallion (like) aroma is not my favorite part. Taste is citrusy, nice malt undertone, piney, and grassy. Finish is clean and really crisp with a biting bitterness. I could certainly go for one of these with some Thai food!

On tap @ Chuck’s 85th. Pours heavily clouded golden orange with thin head. Aroma is fresh herby hops. Taste is mild caramel malt and bitter punchy hops. Notes of fresh cut grass, pine, and a hint of grapefruit. Balanced, and pretty mild as IPAs go. Finishes quite bitter. Not bad, but nothing that would make me seek this out again.

12oz can, BB 06.2014. Thanks Allen! - Appropriately enjoyed after a concert by CO-based microtonal guitar composer Neil Haverstick.
- Pours a meticulously clean and clear golden orange with perfect head, with a lean palate to match. This could truly be considered to be a textbook old-school IPA, with all standard floral, zesty and resinous hops in confident harmony (particularly palate-numbers like Columbus and Centennial are wisely dosed) and a crisp malt base just substantial enough to transport the concomitant IBUs and style-appropriate ABVs. My ideal IPA has a slightly more cloudy look and creamy mouthfeel to it, but this one checks all boxes with expert balance and is an efficient reminder of how staisfying an original IPA can taste when having had a few too many new-fangled EU IPAs and overzealous US I/DIPAs.

From tap. Pours a golden orange in color with nice white head and wonderful lacing. The aroma is on point for a floral IPA. All grapefruit, citrus and grassy notes. Very fresh. Taste is balanced with a decent malt backbone and a crisp bitter finish.
