2.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
12oz bottle. Amber with a medium white head that leaves a lasting ring. The aroma has some fruit and sweet malt, with maybe a mix of cherry and orange. The flavor is fruity and sweet with some grainy malt and a papery finish with low bitterness. Medium bodied with soft, airy carbonation and a papery feel. This is really not so good. The aroma starts ok, but everything falls flat after that. Big strike against Avery for this one. Tastes like it’s in good condition, but just misses anything really enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours slightly hazy light orange-golden with decent white head. Nose is oddly similar to those cheap strawberry candies with wrappers that look like strawberries. A bit of yeast and a tiny bit of funk. Tastes similar, but falls quite flat, like a cheap lager with extra sugars. Palate finishes watery. Unique, but not so good.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
This is a very pleasing beer. Pours a clear golden copper with a fluffy off-white head. There is the nice aroma of fruits and yeast, with notes of caramel and spice. There is a little funk in the nose that is nice. The taste is of sweet malts and fruits. There is a little, LITTLE,spice and bitterness in the finish. An easy light body drinker. Overall a nice American take on a Belgian style ale.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
I couldn’t tell if this was a Belgian ale. The appearance is unarguably like a Belgian ale. However, it actually tastes like a sugary lager to me, but it’ll do for a session. This is an okay American pale ale with a boring result from - unfortunately - Belgian influence.
2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
The appearance is amber, white head. The aroma is caramel, hops. The flavor is caramel, malts, slight floral hoppiness. Slight floral hops on the finish as well. Boring, but drinkable.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Avery Karma is a cloudy, sparkling amber ale with a thick, fluffy yellowish head that has outstanding retention and lacing. The aroma has notes of bread, banana/clove and slightly sweet malt. It is medium-light bodied, bubbly and fluffy with a clean, dry finish. It is lightly flavored with not much bitterness. There is a little spice, pepper and phenol in the taste. It’s pretty well blended and unoffensive.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Copper in colour. Poured a decent enough off white head and left average lacing. Smelling this beer was definetly a dissapointing. Weak and boring hops, malts and fruit...and probally caramel or something like it. While I enjoyed this while it was ice cold, but it turned into a crummy beer after warming. Some spice, but mostly malts followed by plain yeast and some decent citrusy flavour. Decent hoppy finish that felt quite good. Made me drool. Too bad the flavour couldn’t. Just another beer.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Pours a clear peachy copper with a one finger white head. Aroma is citrus , hints of sweet caramel and dark fruit malt, and some zesty yeasty spice in the form of clove and coriander. Flavor is sweet and somewhat grainy. Citrus and spice are predominant, with a light sweet malt character taking a back seat. Palate is lackluster, coming on a bit thin and finishing clean. Not overly impressed.
