Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: Belgian Ale
Boulder, Colorado USA

Serve in Trappist glass, Tulip, Tumbler

The Avery Karma Ale was good and consistant through out but it just didn’t have that full flavor I am accustomed to look for in a Belgian Ale. It poured an amber color with very little head. There were some fruit aromas and taste in there but they all seemed to be held back. I will say it was very feel balanced and finsihed pretty dry.

12 oz. Slightly hazy orange-amber with a large meringue head that lasts well. Light aroma of tart apple, wheat and tropical fruit gum. Flavor is a mild mix of the same, with some touches of citrus, toasted nut, peppery clove and banana. Occasional metallic twinge. Near-medium body is slightly watery, soft and dry. Mild flavors are well-balanced. Easy drinking and nice for what it is: a small spring-summertime Belgian.

Super sweet ale. Another twist on what we’d expect. We expect sugar candy from a Belgian, but Avery goes over the top. No problem. Served with roasted salmon.

i like the muted flavors of this one. green apple and nicely sweet yet not sickening. smooth refreshing and yeasty with just enough body. i am not very fond of the style at all. i like this brew!

bottle: pours a golden brown with a small white head. aroma is a candied gingr and spice, some sweetness too. flavou r seems watered down with little spice and some sugary sweetness

Bottle, light yeast aroma some medium malts. pours a fairly clear golden color, with very light head. Nice dry finish some mild fruits not much to speak of though. Alcohol is present, but not abundant, not bad but nothing special.

Good beer: Aroma of dried mixed fruits, some malt, doughy yeast. Appearance is a murky to clear orangish amber with no head and fine effervescense that lingers till the end. If the beer sits, you get more of the caramel malts and fruits, if you swirl, you get more of the dough yeast. Body is light and a little thin along with the alchohol and flavor, but I’m able to pick up the belgian in it. Overall, a decent drinkable belgian lite...

This has an odd Buddhist and/or Hindu deity on the label. It pours amber without much of a lid. Pleasant smell of molassess with a little citrus and floral hops. The flavor is unusual and complex - I can see why they wanted to give it an exotic name. This has sweetness and some esters, but is still mostly dry, with a hoppy, carbonated tingle that comes in mid-draft. It is more refreshing than robust, but is not short on malt and hops. There are hints of cherry and lemon. This is not an all-out Belgian-style brew - it is more like a mix of Yankee and Belgian influences.
