Avery duganA:
Hello friends and neighbors and a toast to your arrival!  Today let’s look at a beer that is in the style that all of us truly enjoy: India Pale Ales.  Now if you don’t enjoy this type of beer then I’m sorry, you are truly missing out on one of the best beer types out there and one of the greats is Avery’s duganA.  This imperial IPA was brewed by Avery to have “a brutally bitter, dank, piney and resinous” flavor which is “designed for those seeking a divine hop experience.”  This beer was poured from a tap a beautiful clear golden color with not much head and a minimal amount of lacing with a nose of thick piney hops and citrus notes.  The beer’s initial taste is actually a brief sweet note that blooms to a sour fruit notes that blend nicely with the piney resin under notes that stick around on the back end along with a coating of film in the mouth.  Not for the beginner, this beer requires at least a well rounded beer palate before truly appreciating what this beer has to offer.  A great IPA, one worthy of the shelf space along side others that use that pernicious weed that some of beerphiles love so much.
