Mike Loves Beer

Name - Maharaja Imperial India Pale Ale
Country - United States
Type - Double IPA

Appearance - Pours a clear deep amber color with a nice white head that laced the glass well.

Smell - Right upon putting my nose to the glass I was hit with big grapefruit hop scents.  It was the most apparent smell of grapefruit I have ever had with an IPA.

Taste - Great hoppy taste that had a big grapefruit presence again.  Some other sweet malt flavors in there as well.

While I am a big fan of Avery beers I think the main reason for getting this is because Maharaja was one of my favorite Three Stooges skits of all time.  That is what I thought of immediately upon reading the bottle.  And the beer is just as great as that skit was.  Big bold smells and flavors that don’t go overboard.  I highly recommend it.  Great double IPA.

Overall Grade – A
