Avery-Ale to the Chief


“We the Brewers of Avery Brewing Company, in order to form a more perfect ale, require new leadership that can liberate us from our quagmires in foreign lands; embrace environmentally sound energy alternatives to imported oil; heal our ailing health care system; free us from tyrannical debt and resurrect the collapsing dollar. We hereby pledge to provide him with an ample amount of our Presidential Pale Ale to support in the struggle for the aforementioned goals!”

This is what the label reads. The beer inside the bottle is as good as the label. They call it a pale ale, but it's more like an IPA or a Double. The brew has a strong alcohol aroma with some grassy hoppy notes that follow. There is also some malt in the nose as well. It has a dry malty bitter sweet taste to it. Not what I expected at all. I definitely poured this when it was too cool. Once it warmed up I really enjoyed it. With the beer being 8.75% it packs a punch. Well worth the $8 for a 22ozer. I need to get some more of these for inagruation day.
