3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Compared to most of Avery’s brews, this one is pretty tame. There’s nothing too special here, but a nice well balanced brew. This is a good beer served with dinner or lunch.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
On tap at the brewery. Slightly hazy orange yellow pour with a light tan head. Malty aroma with nutty notes. Light pine and earth flavor with a very bitter finish. Unimpressed.
2.7 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
On tap @ Avery Brewery. Pours a rich yellow-copper with a bit of head that leaves a little on top of the beer through most of the drink. Smells like hops and bread, but the smells are faint and hard to pick up on. Taste is very balanced, like an IPA with plenty of maltiness to take the edge off. Medium bodied, so the flavors are as hard to pick up on as the smell, but what I could get was floral hops, bread, and a wee hint of citrus.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A decent offering, well worth the money and i’d possibly get it again. Just didn’t knock my socks off.
good floral hop flavors.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
malty, bread nose, and some nuttiness. slight hops, but nothing really. Light caramel, and thin metallic finish. Thin body, and really nohting to write home about.
3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Poured into a pint glass.
A: Copper with quickly vanishing head and no lacing.
S: Grains, earthy, hops predominate. Quite pleasant.
T: Really crispy with a pleasant bitter aftertaste. Some astringency mixed with graininess.
M: Carbonation is exciting, but it leaves me with a strange sensation that is similar to heartburn.
D: Nice overall brew that doesn’t get old.
Serving type: bottle
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle. Slightly hazy orange pour with a wispy white head. Nose is mostly bread with slight pine. Nice pine hop flavor with citrus, yeast, and a dry hoppy finish (but malt balanced). Noticeable carbonation. Good beer.
