2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle: Poured a clear amber color ale with a small foamy head with minimal retention. Aroma of caramel sweet malt is omnipresent with some citrus hops. Taste is a mix between sweet caramel malt and some bitter hops. Alcohol is way too hot for my liking and body is definitely too thin for the style. I’m starting to wonder if it’s just me or are most of Avery beers a bit too hot for their own good.

Bomber pours a cloudy drk orange with a big but vanishing beige head and some lacing. Smells of pine, grass, and alcohol. Aroma is pretty much the same with caramel and light spices I can’t quite identify. Medium to full body without much carbonation. Texture is almost oily. Taste is on the bitter side with a long dry finish. This is perfect for a meal of hot barbecue or other spicy foods.

Pours a deep garnet with a cream colored head and decent lacing. Nose is grapefruit and syrup. Taste is red grapefruit and and rich malt. Extremely drinkable for the abv and pleasantly sweet. A malty hop bomb that doesn’t fail to impress.

Simply the best IPA Ive had in a while, oh wait it says barley wine, im confused! Fine brew , none the less, but none of that sweet creamy taste you may expect from a barley wine. So Hoppy its taste was a 100% IPA to me. would of been disapointed, but this is a fine brew and next time I want a beer with a spicey dish, will reach for this one.

Bottle pours dark orange brown head that goes away fast. Smells and tastes of caramel alchohal pine grass citrus. Malt. The smell and look give this beer higher rating just based in that great beer. Taste on other had is good all flavors mix well just a bit more hoppy then I’d like. Good beer like to try it a bit mellowed out a bit.
3.8 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
(bottle) Very cloudy red-copper body with a medium tan head. Wonderful aroma: sweet caramel malt; pine, and grass hops; lots of fruit, but I can’t really single them out; some spice, including a hint of spicy cinnamon; a touch of alcohol. Medium body, oily texture, medium soft carbonation. Alcohol is pronounced, warming; some spiciness (cinnamon again, and peppers), too. Grass hops, some grapefruit. Underlying caramelized sugar sweetness. But the bitterness and alcohol win out over sweetness. Long, very bitter finish.
