3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 tyanow (10) - California, USA - JUL 18, 2009AVBC is one of my 2 or 3 favorite breweries in the world. So, I bought up a ton of this beer with eager anticipation.
It is drinkable and not bad, but a let down from the hype that I myself created.
Amber with a cream head. The high carbonation keeps the head but it isn’t a thick lasting head.
Aroma is a bit grassy, and a little spicey yeast. The 8.&% can be smelled from 6 inches away.
Taste is good but not great with notes of pine, caramel, light fruit, etc.
Medium body and an oily finish.
This beer isn’t bad, it’s just hard to imagine that this is AVBC’s big Anniversary release.

Cerveja para quem gosta de sentir amargor dos lúpulos e também álcool no palato e retrogosto, complexa, divina tanto em garrafa quanto na pressão.

Slightly hazy bright gold pour, white, thin head. Looks appetizing. Great lacing. Big citrus, orange, orange peel, grapefruit, sweaty yeast nose. Huge blast of hops up front all backed up by big malt flavours. Soft and slick in the mouth, low carbonation. Sweet bitterness dominates the finish. Lovely.
