Avery Collaboration Not Litigation

I feel like a bit of a curmudgeon whenever I rate an Avery, but they all seem similar to me ... to much alcohol, not enough interest. This was a sort of sweet sort of malty pseudo-Belgian with too much alcohol presence. I know I’m out on a limb on this one, but I found this one without interest. // rerated 24 March 2009, much more interesting draft. Moved up from a 2.6 to a 3.2.

Bottled. An amber beer with a bit of sediment floating around under a thin biege head. The aroma is sweet mlaty with notes of caramel and yeast. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, caramel and yeast.

This was a 2008 bottle-Batch#2.Poured an orange/amber color with a large white head.Aromas were sweet malt.actually heavy sweet malt and spice.The taste was nice,with candy and spice flavoring,with very little hops.Good one.

Bottle at EBF. Deep golden, no head. Sweet. alcoholic and grassy aroma, clean maltiness. Alcoholic, grassy flavor, syrupy malts, drier flowery finish. Almost medium bodied, low carbonation. Just doesn’t do anything for me.

2008 Bottle - Batch 2 - Pours a semi murky orange with a small off white head...aroma is sweet malt, dried fruit, yeats, flavour is bold to start...heavy caramel and fruit, not too much bitterness on the back end - pretty good, this is a fun concept beer...

Bottle at EBF copenhagen 2008 ... Copper ... sweet yeasty malts ... light yeasty fruityness ... juicy and little bready .. ok

Hazy amber color; creamy head. Delicate aroma, malty, fruity, sweet; quite nice. Powerful body, maybe even a bit too alcoholic, with malt flavor, enough sweetness, too simple on the yeast side. Low bitterness.

this is a delicious beer. batch 2 pours opaque copper color with a small yet thick head. aroma is slightly spicy and yeasty with lots of matly undertones. slightly sour flavor, lots of rich malts, maybe a little chocolate in the background. almost no hop presence at all. thick, full mouthfeel with moderate carbonation.
