    I don't know what it is about them, but i REALLY hate Avery's bottle designs.
    Might be the tacky gold foil.
    Or the redundant oversized A on both the foil and label.

    Yep, drinking one now in Denver! I'm really impressed. (No big surprise from a hop master). It's so well rounded and clean. This could be a year round release

    Anyone who claims that Majaraja isn't as good as it used to be needs to drink this beer.

    So what is this comparable too? Saw it on the shelf at Mondo Vino in Denver yesterday. I don't like Maharaja, its too dark for my tastes. Prefer citrusy IPAs.

    We didn't like this brew...almost a moss aroma...with that said their IPAs are classics IMHO, and always a favorite of mine!

    I found to be hoppy, but overly sweet for my tastes. Similar to most of Avery IPAs.

    This thread inspired me to open mine. I'm not a huge fan of Avery, but I like this one. Like others have mentioned, it's a bit on the sweet side. The hop profile is nice. I don't think this one would taste very good a month or two from now after the hops fade.

    The 20th Anniversary is the best thing that has ever been in my mouth, ever, period. Please consider brewing this again.

    I had it on draft at The Beer Market in Lincolnshire/Vernon Hills, IL, just northwest of Chicago. Delicious.
