Avery IPA radiates with the crisp, floral, and resinous hoppiness of six different hop varieties, supported by a malty backbone and a dry finish. As the very first packaged IPA in the state of Colorado, this true Colorado IPA comes alive with a mountain of citrusy hops. At the time of its inception (1996), the India Pale Ale beer style was typically too bitter for many craft beer lovers, but that did not deter Adam Avery from brewing it. Oh how the times have changed, and for the better! We have honored the tradition of the original Avery India Pale Ale recipe with the continued use of 4 C hops, and have modernized it by dry-hopping with Idaho 7 and Simcoe hops. The result is a fresh and piney body with aromas of juicy citrus, all balanced by the subtle caramel sweetness of the malts. Hop Freaks Unite!
