Oct 26, 2008 Bottled. Frothy white head, good lace, hazy yellow pour. Lemon, dough, and a little barnyard in flavor and aroma. Medium bodied with a pleasingly dry finish. I think Avery did a great job with this one and was surprised it’s percentile was so low. I thought it was quite excellent.

Mar 17, 2009 Avery Fifteen is a golden bodied, white headed farmhouse style brewed with figs, hibiscus flowers, and white pepper. Funky, fruity, sour, and bitter, it is a surprising ale with a fantastic and generous dark finish.

May 5, 2009 Bottled in april 08. Now at a year old this one is hitting it’s stride fellas. Golden hazy pour with a white head that quickly dissipates. Aroma is mangos and band aids with the funk coming on nice. Flavor is a little sweet up front with a great medicinal barnyard flavor that coats the tongue long after a swallow. Aside from the absent hop profile this really reminds me of an orval with about a year on it or the first year oro with about a year on it. I actually was so impressed with this beer that after trying it yesterday I went out and bought some more just to be sure it was that good. It is.
Cheers

Aug 5, 2008 22 oz Bomber-Poured a cloudy golden color w/a moderate white head. Great spiced Belgian aroma. Flavor really jumps out & grabs you, yeast, spice, floral traces, figs, & cane sugar. Very fresh, a little rough around the edges, but in a good way. Tastes very pure & unfiltered. I really liked this one a lot; Long spiced finish.

May 27, 2009 Bottled in April of 2008, this bomber was shared during a local Memorial Day tasting. Poured a beautiful hazy gold-yellow with a billowing head that diminished over time. Right away I could smell the brett and noticed it’s similarity to Orval. Musty fruits with a funky yeast quality. Earthy and assertively spicy. Lightly tart feeling with a quenching, medium bodied finish. Pears, lemon grass, and musty funk. Tart fruits and wild yeast flavors. A hint of pepper and spice. Mellow, wild beer. This beer was well received.

Dec 9, 2008 Orange-straw with good, creamy white head / Funky nose of brett and green apple / Light to medium body, acidic yet resinous, fruit, with good, long finish / Funky flavors of brett, green apple, ginko, eucalyptus, white pepper / Not picking up the figs. Very Jolly Pumpkin-like, but less citrusy in favor of vegetal funk.

Aug 20, 2009 hazy yellow tangerine body, big white head, aroma is all brett, flavor is magnificent arrangement of tropical fruits and wild funky brett, very soft and hardly acidic or sour at all, all funk which is exactly what I hope for every time I read brettanomyces on a label, some citrus rind bitters that hang back and meld with the wild funk perfectly... I think I saw three more bottles of this at the shop, I’m going back tomorrow and I’m buying them all, seriously, that good

Jun 28, 2008 Once in a while, a beer comes along with an outrageous premise. Avery fifteen, with its use of figs, white pepper, hibiscus flowers, and 100% brettanomyces fermentation appears to be one such beer. I chose to pour it into a Duvel tulip, which it graced with clear, golden body, and a one to two finger thick head that faded over time. The smell was a mix of fruits like granny smith apples, papaya and cantaloupe, floral and herbal vegetable matter, and a milder than anticipated, but ever present funk. The taste was balanced between sour-tart and spicy-sweet. The pepper showed up only in the finish.I never did detect any fig. The mouthfeel was drying and refreshing. If I had not been told about the brewing with pure brett, I would never have guessed it. Not as wild as I have had before, but tasty nonetheless.
