Avery The Maharaja

Avery The Maharaja is an American Double/Imperial IPA. Things start with some good malty sweetness, toffee and tropical fruits (mangos and pineapple). The big ol’ oily hops are the signature of this imperial IPA though, along with a surprising amount of spiciness coming in at the end. I love the flavor of this beer, but for me there is just way too much alcohol heat (10.30 % abv) as a major component of the finish.
