It's an aloe, not an agave, but it isn't aloe vera.

Aloe has liquidy/juice in the stem. Agave has fibers like rope twine. They look very similar, I think, and they live in similar conditions, rock gardens and deserts. I think the flower will end up being the distinguishing factor here...or the insides of a branch/leaf.
