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!

Poured a color gold/amber. Flavors of light fruit, citrus, banana, vanilla, and some spice. This beer is pretty light on flavor with a bit of earthiness. It’s easy to drink, but not the best for a belgian style.

This is a great beer, I don’t know why I like it so much, but I could drink a whole six pack. It is very light for a Belgian Style Ale. Rather weak on the aroma, somewhat bready with butter and some honey. The word that keeps coming to my mind with this beer is buttery.

csbosox (1188) - Prairie Village, Kansas, USA - JUL 3, 2008
12oz bottle. NB snifter. Aroma of light fruit (bosc pear), pepper. vanilla, yeast, with subtle, lightly kilned malt. Aroma is reddish copper with a smallish bone white head and active carbonation. Taste is light malt, mild spice, subtle earthy hops, maybe a little vanilla? The aroma makes some promises that the flavor doesn’t seem to deliver on. Carbonation is pretty forward. All that being said, this is an OK Belgian style beer.

kiefdog (1826) - Tampa, Florida, USA - JUL 3, 2008
12oz bottle courtesy of markwise. Pours a clear amber color with one finger white-tan head. Aroma is wheat, straw, ripe citrus, banana. Flavor is apricot, faint strange citrus-tang, malt. Reminds me of an IPA. Light to medium-bodied with a slight bitter finish.

checkmatei1 (764) - Willow Grove, Pennsylvania, USA - JUL 3, 2008
Bottle: Poured an amber color with a nice amount of head. The aroma was sweet and fruity. The flavor was malty, yeasty, and somewhat lacking in flavor. Overall, just an OK beer...I was expecting more.

moelikebeer (221) - St. Paul, Minnesota, USA - JUN 30, 2008
Bottle. Clear, golden-amber pour with a medium size head that dissipates quickly. Sweet aroma of esters and banana. Similar flavor with sweet malt and belgian yeast. Lot of carbonation.

Naven (988) - Poway, California, USA - JUN 30, 2008
A surprisingly weak brew from this brewery known for their big beers. There was some spices and what not, but I don’t really get how this could be considered Belgian anything, because it tasted like an American Pale Ale to me. An average one at that. Ok on a hot day, I suppose.

djones (121) - Michigan, USA - JUN 24, 2008
cool cloudy copper color. thin to medium bodied with a distinct sweetness. flavors of malt, some spice, some yeast. nothing really comes together though. peachy, wheaty, watery.
