Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 2/08/23 and sadly the outside box didn’t have a date, but this held up nice. Pours a cloudy orange yellow with a finger plus sticky white head that leaves thing streaks of lace, with excellent retention. 4.25

Aroma is peach, mandarin, passionfruit, mango, and apricot maybe a little alcohol comes out in the nose. 4.25

Taste follows peach, mandarin, mango, passionfruit, a little dank herbal flavor, and apricot. Well balanced with just a little alcohol from the giant 10% ABV. 4.25

Mouthfeel is above average, a tad sticky not dry, enough carbonation but not as soft as the East. It has massive flavor but easy going down. 4.25

Overall I wish I got this 3 months ago, but I will say it held very well and I will have 0 issues working my way through this very reasonably priced Imperial IPA. 4.25

Pineapple-colored body.l
Stone fruit and sweet malts on the nose.
Taste is like tangy grapefruit with smoked pineapple. Somewhat bitter hops and full of malt backbone. Quite a concoction.
Smooth and creamy, medium-thick with a gritty/ citrus rind vibe to the overall feel and finish.
Not usually a hazy ipa person but an always a DIPA person and this one works well for me.

 

neat on a number of levels, less neat on some too, but they have made a sneaky strong monster of an ipa thats neither all that boozy nor all that sweet, not easy to do at this strength, and thats pretty cool. i like the mixed grain base, wheat, oats, spelt, it gives the right amount of body and nuance to this, supports the hops in a unique way, and makes this somewhat different from its peers, which turns out to be necessary because the hop profile is so samey, mosaic and simcoe leading the way, tasty of course, these hops are legendary for a reason, but i always expect a little more or something unusual or special from avery, and we dont really get that with the hops here. the mosaic seems maxed out to me, past its comfort zone maybe, canned pineapple juice suggestion there in the nose, less exotic in the flavor. high pine and citrus pith from the simcoe, foresty and oily and lingering, bitter too for a hazy, they go together fine, but its just not interesting. i get some light earthy spiciness with a little alcohol warmth on the finish, a honey richness to the whole thing, lightly floral as well, pretty clean on the ferment, maybe a little off perfectly fresh, but overall this is solid, sturdy, familiar for the most part, and not sloppy for how big it is. nice to have a couple new ones from avery recently!

Very underrated. Cant taste the 10%, which is a good sign. Super smooth. Fruity and citrusy. Delish!!!! Going back for more soon. Get this is if you can. One of the best Imperial IPA that i have had in a while.

 

 

Getting a wee bit of alcohol taste at the end but I've also had a couple brews already. In general this absolutely slaps but Im feeling all 10% lol. Definitely need to have again.

 

 

 

 

Pours a very hazed gold with2+ fingers of pearl colored head. Stellar lacing & good head retention

S: Some tropical & citrus fruit

T: Oranges, mangos, green melon & dryness up front, plus some grapefruit. Green melon, mango, lime and dryness as this warms. Finishes dry with mangos, green melon & oranges

MF: Medium body, moderate carbonation, carbonation gets creamier as it warms, lovely balance

Nice take on the style, very drinkable, I would've guessed this was about 7% ABV

This sucker was 6 months old on the shelf at the local quickie mart. I purchased it because of the high alcohol volume, figured that it would be more like a barley wine at this point. Pretty awesome, except that it was almost $20 for a sixer that is 6 months old, far from fresh but I’m still happy to enjoy it. It is basically orange marmalade in a can. The hops have muted, but it’s pretty well balanced at this point, not hot or boozy either. I’d say that it is more of a sweet sipper, nice to enjoy on a cool spring evening. Wouldn’t be a good beach brew by any stretch, one can already is packing a wallop. Recommended

CAN:

Juicy melon, mango, honey, caramel. Sweet tropical fruits clash with a rindy bitterness on the back end. Alcohol warmth is obvious, which works against it. Unbalanced.

I can't get past its alcohol warmth, but even if I could its hop profile isn't terrific. Not one of Avery's strongest efforts.

04/13/20 can:

Boozy and imbalanced. Not a beer I'd buy again given the wealth of imperial IPAs out there.

C / AVERAGE

 

12oz can. Poured out a cloudy, golden orange color with a small, white head of foam. It smelled of orange, grapefruit and mango with caramel. Sweet tropical fruit taste with toasted caramel. Low bitterness for a 10% IPA.
