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!

phaleslu (3182) - Saint Louis, Missouri, USA - AUG 29, 2011
Draft served in a pint glass at Three Kings. Pours a clear orange-gold with rising carbonation and a small eggshell white head. Aroma of tropical fruits, faint floral hops, sweet malts, and candi sugar- really, the candi sugar is the only Belgian character I’m getting from this. Same goes for the flavor, which also has some tropical fruits and herbal hops to go with crackers and pale malts. Light-bodied, with medium-high carbonation. I could have mistaken this for an APA with a wrench of some kind thrown in.

I tried this beer on August 26, 2011 at "The Beerbistro" in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The beer poured a hazy orange-gold colour with a thin white short-lived head. The aroma was light fruits, yeast, grains, citrus, and funk. The mouthfeel was medium-bodied with mild carbonation. The flavour was grassy malt, yeast, and honey.

Amber, not much head or carbonation. Some fruit in the nose, then the taste of pear or grapes mixed with malt. Very light otherwise and very different.

robinvboyer (2130) - Sturgeon Falls, Ontario, CANADA - AUG 23, 2011
Nose of tropical fruits, light piney hops, and quite a bit of yesty esters. Some canned fruit flavors emerge, with more light tropical fruit in the finish. A light bitter finish, and some light sweetness. Refreshing, i enjoyed it.

arminjewell (2445) - Parker, Colorado, USA - AUG 9, 2011
Pours golden out of bottle with white head, aroma has slight notes of some yeast, fruit, some slight biscuit and bread, some earth and a touch of grass. Taste is fairly simple, with a fruit, yeast, biscuity middle, some slight grass and earth, with a sweet finish. Not bad.

jeremytoni (2226) - Swedesboro, New Jersey, USA - AUG 8, 2011
From a bottle poured an amber color with a fair amount of head. Light hoppy flavor with a quick finish.

Drake (4803) - Charlottesville, Virginia, USA - AUG 6, 2011
12 ounce bottle from Total Wine Fredericksburg, VA. Pours a clear orange color with lots of visible carbonation. Medium fizzy offwhite head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of peach, apricot and candi sugar. The taste is apples, plum, peach, pear, apricot, sugar and a bready note. Bitter almost metallic hops. Medium bodied
