2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle. Full or earth floral tones that overpower and do not complement each other. Just not very good and I was unable to finish.

Don’t wanna be a r, but this was not good to me at all. Skunky and funky, almost budweiserish, most def will not get ever again.
1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 7/20
After about a year away, I probably shouldn’t return to ratebeer on a sour note, but the Avery Fifteen was hands down the most disappointing Avery brew I’ve ever drunk. Of course, I most likely had insanely high standards for the Fifteen, considering that the Fourteen is one of my all-time faves. This anniversary ale looked decent enough, and the aroma wasn’t necessarily offensive. However, I remember the Fourteen being both inventive and tasty, but whatever experimentation went on with the Fifteen amouted to a rotten mess in comparison.

tap at falling rock.
my rating can be summed up with this sentence.
tastes like old women smell.
too much burnt sweetness, something floral & moldy. red light brown sticky head. the tartness that the aroma hints at just ends up tasting like wood and roast. gets worse as it goes along. a good brown ale gone bad. rotting flower taste really destroys this.

1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Pours a apple juice copper hazy liquid with a fine white head. Nose is of esters and a little yeast. A little fizzy, yeasty and sharp. An off taste is present throughout. Body is maybe a little thin. the flavor is very off. I wonder if I had a bad bottle.
1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
22oz bottle from Brewforia
Appearance: Slightly hazy golden with a large white head that leaves some lacing as it dissipates
Aroma: Funky brett aroma, spices, horse blanket
Taste: Spicey/sour fruits, straw and bready
A very different beer, but not for me. The best thing about this beer is the packaging....

UPDATED: APR 14, 2009 Bottle, shared w/ danielcurtis81. Just not very great. Lots of floral, and dried fruit, and spices going on, but nothing really takes over, and it’s a garble of not so great flavors. Unfortunately unimpressed.
1.8 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Nose is perfume, band-aids and plastic, with just a touch of pear and honey underneath. Taste is very sweet and very oxidized (and this rating was from right after the beer came out and it was on tap); again lots of plastic and band-aids, some apple and pear, touch of honey. Thin watery texture. This is a trainwreck.
1.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 1/20
Draft at Mad Mex; I have a wide tolerance for all styles of beer, but this one fell outside my range with its sourness. I admire the spirit of experimentation behind it.

How does this thing get a 3.15? It is terrible. Pours out a nice golden yellow color with a nice head. Aroma smells like old nasty gym shoes that have sweat mildew on them. Flavor was even worse. It tasted like the bloody gauze that was in my mouth when i had my wisdom teeth cut out. Maybe my palate isnt sophoticated enough to enjoy blood soaked gauze. This was nothing more than a drain pour and I really dont understand how avery can put something like this on the market. They should have done us all a favor and poured it down the drain themselves instead of allowing us to pay for beer for the drain. YUCK! If this is a belgain ale, then this is the worst friggin example that I have ever tasted
