Go Play IPA sports juicy, tropical, and dank aromas, fueled by dry-hop additions of Vic Secret, Idaho 7, and Simcoe hops. Better yet, sodium and potassium help activate this motivated, lively India Pale Ale.

3 month old can A: Pours an inch of off white pillowy long lasting foam atop a pale lightly hazed gold. Very rich lacing. S: Faint scent of mainly tart citrus. T: Medium bitterness with pith and underripe orange hop notes.A mostly woody malt flavor with a flat papery note assumed from wheat. M: Light and fairly spritzy with a smooth "oaty" feel. O: Not bad but somehow something's missing. Hops don't pop and grains are that but seem off. Maybe it's the age of the can or maybe I don't care for the Gatorale factor.

Pretty weak IPA to be coming from Avery; I understand it’s supposed to be beer for somebody running through the woods or scaling the Nordwand in nothing but a bathing cap, but, as a dude sitting in his living room, I’m left wanting. Melon, citrus, and pine all flit about the periphery, but a prevailing cracker malt center and a bland, creamy finish don’t leave much of an impression beyond a desire for a better IPA.

Canned July 18, 2018.
It pours a slightly hazy straw yellow color with ample foam decent lacing.
The smell is of grapefruit citrus light biscuit malt very hoppy and slightly dank.
The taste follows to smell.
Nice grapefruit bitterness but not overly bitter light dankness, biscuit malt that is on the toasted side.
Good mouthfeel and now I'm noticing that has a slightly oily hoppy taste to it.
All in all, this is a nice IPA of lower ABV but doesn't suffer from what session IPAs suffer from.

Poured up on tap at Tipsy Cactus where it exhibits a hazy gold to straw colored body that supports a thin near white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up grassy hops, herbal hops and some grapefruit. The taste delivers a semi bright Smarties candy sensation followed closely by a bit of grapefruit and a mild berry sensation. Prett ynice and fully crushable.

Draught @ Malt&Mold. Cloudy pale yellow with foamy whitish head, faint grassy hops aroma, low carbonation, mildly bitter lightly citrusy taste, smooth body, longish finish. Not very striking.
