Hello, my name is Avery IPA, and I radiate with the crisp, floral, and resinous hoppiness of six different hop varieties. As the very first packaged IPA in the state of Colorado, I embody the pioneering spirit of the craft beer movement and continue to be a favorite among hop heads and beer enthusiasts alike.
My aroma is a mountain of citrusy hops, with notes of juicy grapefruit, orange peel, and pine needles. With every sip, you'll experience a perfect balance of hop bitterness and malt sweetness, thanks to my use of 4C hops and a subtle caramel backbone. And if you're a fan of dry finishes, you'll love how I leave a pleasant, lingering bitterness that will keep you coming back for more.
But don't just take my word for it - try me for yourself and discover why I've been a mainstay in the craft beer world for over two decades. My dry-hopping with Idaho 7 and Simcoe hops adds a modern twist to my classic recipe, resulting in a fresh and piney body that's sure to satisfy any hop cravings. So whether you're a Colorado native or a craft beer lover from afar, let me show you what true Colorado IPA is all about.
