Avery Brewing Company

It's yet another new IPA, but this one's pretty drinkable. It's a big high on the ABV at just over 7% but it doesn't feel heavy at all. It's definitely tropical and not dank, though the fruitiness dominates the grassiness that it claims to have. I'm fine with that but others may prefer their IPAs a little more on the dry and piney side. This might find its way into their regular rotation and it's a good offering from Avery.

 

Clear golden yellow color with a modest off white head.
The aroma is citrus, tropical fruit and pine. The taste is grapefruit, hints of pineapple, lemon and caramel, barely sweet. The finish is dry with strong pine resin and citrus zest, moderate but noticeable bitterness.
The body is medium, good carbonation, crisp and very drinkable. Altogether, this is a tasty and refreshing brew, bold flavor, definite bitterness for the hop lovers, should go well with hearty or spicy fare, well done.

 

12oz can. Poured out a clear, golden yellow color with a small, off-white head of foam. It left thin sheets of lace. It smelled of orange, guava and caramel sweetness. Sweet fruity taste with toasted caramel and a piney bitterness.

Aroma is sweet fruit/tropical fruit, kind of similar to New Belgium’s Voodoo Ranger Force. The flavor is fruit/mangoes, malts/grains and a bitter/spicy hop finish.
