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!

12 ounce bottle. Very very good smelling. Loads of fruity and some hops. The flavor is more hoppy than fruity. Good beer would buy again

fidelis83 (1262) - Clinton, Iowa, USA - DEC 15, 2008
Pours medium reddish amber with a 1 finger foamy off white head. Aroma is very fruity, with caramel, burnt sugar, citrus (with a mandarin orange quality to it) soft yeasty bread notes. Its pretty crisp in flavor. Starts off with a yeasty bready malt and citrus hops, caramel, very fruity. Finish is a little yeasty, citrus hops, fruity esters. The flavor falls a little short of the aroma, but it could be a good session.

chokmah33 (118) - San Luis Obispo, California, USA - DEC 11, 2008
Sweet yeasty aroma. Citric hops + lighlty fruity malt undertone. Flavor is bright + fruity up front, going through a brief and ackward citric hops mid before a minor yeasty finish. Palate is overcarbed, almost like sparkling wine. Bland.

DrnkMcDermott (2393) - Downers Grove, Illinois, USA - DEC 4, 2008
Going to see if I can finally enter a rating correctly the first time. 12 oz bottle. Pours a nice dark tripel color with a thin bit of brown foam. Smells malty with some nice saison type esters indeed. Taste: well, it is pretty interesting and complex - farmhouse quality is there, but it cannot be described by something so base as spice or fruit. Just a unique combination of slightly sweet malts and Belgian type fermentation. In that way it is harder to rate because it does not quite taste like anything else. Despite that it is enjoyable and worth the try.

BMan1113VR (6146) - Los Angeles, California, USA - DEC 3, 2008
Pours with a large, creamy, off-white head and a clear, light brown body. Good lacing and retention. Aroma of apples, raisins, cinnamon and yeast. Pretty sweet with a little alcohol. Taste is watery and very yeasty and lightly spiced with some astringency in the finish. Fizzy and watery.

thornecb (2961) - Marblehead, Massachusetts, USA - DEC 3, 2008
Pours orange marmalade into a tulip. Bright white micro head leaves spot lacing as it recedes to skim surface. Candi aromas. Sweet malt from front to back with candi and alcohol. Middle-of-the-road Belgian.

stchloe (568) - Portland, Oregon, USA - DEC 3, 2008
A good pale ale, not too estery and the sweet malt is actually fruity as well. Not a super complex pale, but quaffable

onecrazybreeze (21) - , Colorado, USA - NOV 21, 2008
Bottle. Poured clear golden with quick white head. Smelled sweet and fruity. Tasted light and crisp, with boozy notes. Refreshing, crisp beer appropriate for the heat of summer but not really in tune with the other seasons.
