COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
We believe in Karma. We suspect most of you do, too. It truly is a global concept. Very simply put, "you get what you give." Inspired by this principle and the wonderful farmhouse and pale ales of Belgium, we've created Karma Ale, a decidedly fruity and estery ale, intricate in body and nose, all driven by a unique Belgian yeast strain. Remember, good things DO happen to good people. Here's to being good!

ILoveBlondes (1) - Colorado, USA - JAN 26, 2012 does not count

My favorite summer seasonal brew from my favorite Colorado brew. Beer has a wonderfully balanced taste for a pale ale, and has a decent enough abv to where you can drink two or three beers without being three sheets.

I love Avery but this beer is not very well balanced, it lacks in maturity.

Newk (132) - - DEC 26, 2011

poured into a tulip. Pours a nice dark orange color with a small head that disappears rather fast nice aromas of orange peels, citrus and some hops. Lacking some depth though medium bodied with a nice feel. Still lacking depth with some orange peels and hops a decent beer. Lacking on both the aromas and flavor, but very drinkable with some decent hops along with it

rougeau13 (1064) - Texas, USA - DEC 15, 2011

Dirty brown-amber with a small beige head. Aroma of not much; caramel, some fruit and yeast. Taste is a little caramel sweet and yeasty; decent, but not much to it. Medium bodied and smooth. Decent for a session, but don’t get excited.

Smurf2055 (140) - Seattle, Washington, USA - DEC 15, 2011

Poured in to Tulip. More than it deserved. Drinks like a lager. Smells and tastes waxy and cheap. It’s so unfortunate, Avery was one of my favorite breweries until I had this. Unfortunate.

jebert (288) - Watertown, Wisconsin, USA - NOV 16, 2011

Pours a slightly cloudy amber with a nice sized creamy head. Nose is malt, yeast and a hint of spice. Nice and creamy on the palate, the taste is mild malt, some citrus and spice followed by a very mild hop flavor with some sweetness. A good example of the farmhouse ale type. Pairs well with french bread and cheddar cheese.
