A favorite local IPA chills on the deck at sunset, it hasn't a chance.

Maharaja is derived from the sanskrit words mahat, - "great" and rajan - "king". Much like its namesake, this imperial IPA is regal, intense and mighty. With hops and malts as his servants, he rules both with a heavy hand. The Maharaja flaunts his authority over a deranged amount of hops: tangy, vibrant and pungent along with an insane amount of malted barley - fashioning a dark amber hue and exquisite malt essence.
This newest Avery Dictator completes the "Dictator Series" joining the likes of The Kaiser & The Czar. Be aware that The Maharaja is a limited release only available for the summer. Welcome to his kingdom!

Is this bear going to be easily available or will it have to be special ordered. It sounds tasty; I would really like to try it but I'm wondering where I might find it.

Hey Thomas,
ReplyDeleteThis is a seasonal beer that Avery produces in the spring and summers. It is easy to find around Boulder during these months...because it is SO tasty and they brew it here, but hard to find in the winter anywhere.

...although I didn't see the Maharaja listed yet.
Good Luck!
