| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jul 10, 2008 Bomber. Poured clear brighter golden with a short-lived, looser cap of white head. The aroma picked up a really odd blend of spices (some pepper, but I couldn’t place everything else).. strawberry and rhubarb jam behind with a floral component that built with warmth.. footy funk built with warmth, but didn’t really help. The flavor had sticky toffee and fig sweetness caked with white pepper, nutmeg, and coriander.. tart, spicy funkage at the back that left thick spices. Medium-bodied with quite active carbonation on the palate.. there were some decent components in here, but it certainly didn’t come together well. rallison (113), USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 10, 2008 Very funky aroma. Lots of barnyard and cheese here. Fruity esters show up more as the beer warms.
Minimal head with a clear, light amber body.
Slightly sour taste with a sweet, somewhat fruity malt body. The smell I enjoyed, but the taste is a letdown. Not very complex, not nearly as funky as the smell and just not that interesting.
Medium body with relatively low carbonation.
Overall, meh. Smell was great in the funk department. Taste, kind of boring. We’ll see how this one ages. railcat1 (578), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Jul 8, 2008 This was ok with a smooth belgian farmhouse taste and a bitter yet nasty aftertaste CHEERS! BorksBabe (81), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Aroma is slightly citrus with a hint of hops and urinal cake. Appears to be a traditional belgian but is more like a ceizen in makeup. Too thin on the palate and flavor is incredibly disappointing. Aftertaste of feet and piss. ew.

| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 9/20 | Jul 8, 2008 I cant really recommend this, taste is too soapy with flavor of heavy herbs and spices. the flavors are all wrong.I love Avery beer but this one fails. nick76 (2648), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 8, 2008 The aroma is funky that is like a urinal cake with flowers, yeast, and malt. The appearance is golden with a small head. The flavor is like the aroma. The palate is thin. Overall this is not a very good beer for an avery. brentfeesh (1037), Gadsden, Alabama, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Enjoyed on the 4th of July. Golden and carbonated with a big white head. Funk is apparent in the aroma. There is a touch of barnyard and a light floral touch. Wet hay, pepper and sharp fruit also come to mind. The flavor is quite peppery with just a hint of fruit (fig is believable). I would also say that the funk is present as are some barn like qualities (I don’t know how else to describe it). Light body, semi-dry finish. Certainly not my favorite, but better than I expected. DenverLogan (421), MileHi, Colorado, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jul 8, 2008 Yellow gold; small head. Lots of spice and brett, funky and wild. There’s some pepper, persimmon, lemon zest, cantelope, nutmeg, ginger, and rich, sweet fruits. This is not for everyone but I find it tasty and rather unique. I think its a fun treat now and may be better with a little age.
