Avery Fifteen

Pours clear pinkish-orange with quickly dissipating head. Aroma is dry and fruity with funky brett notes. Flavor is crisp and dry with some earthy flowery notes up front and some nice strawberry, pear, fig, and melon throughout. A little thin on flavor, but a lingering sweetness makes this a pretty nice beer.

Poured hazy orange with a one finger head. Retention was ok; lacing was minimal. Citrus dominated the aromas and were quite strong, featuring oranges and grapefruit, a sour sense, and some oak. Flavors mirrored the aromas, and included some bananas and spices. Lots of carbonation, light to medium - but slightly watery - mouthfeel, and a sweet and sour aftertaste. Pleasant enough, but I expected more.

Cloudy yellow with a large white head. Aroma is malty, fruity, fresh and some wild yeast. Taste is sour, grape and some malt.

Bottle, 22oz, at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. A yellow-golden beer with a white head of moderate size. Both aroma and flavor are funky and barnyard-ish, with some sweetness and alcohol warmh in the mouth. Medium body, slightly astringent and dryish. A funky and pleasant beer, but not a rave. Maybe I expected a big, warm and sweet one. (080913)

Hazy gold pour with a thick white head. Big yeasty nose full of sweet fruit and figs. A bit of the floral in here, too. Flavor is Slightly sour and very yeasty. Sweet malt with a touch of funk. Not bad, but not wonderful. I preferred the Thirteen.
