Avery Maharaja IPA (pack of 6) (10%)

An Imperial India Pale Ale from Avery Brewing Company in Boulder, Colorado, brewed at 10% ABV and sold in a six-pack. The grain bill uses two-row barley, Victory malt and Caramel 120, with Columbus, Centennial, Chinook and Simcoe used in the boil and Idaho 7, Vic Secret and Simcoe added as a dry hop. The aroma brings resinous pine, grapefruit peel, floral hops, citrus oil, caramel and hints of mango and nectarine pit. The palate is malt-forward with caramel and toffee sweetness, then bitter marmalade, pine resin, overripe mango and peach, with a full, creamy mouthfeel. The finish is long and warming, with pine and citrus bitterness and caramel malt at the end.
