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!

jdmhawk (31) - Bettendorf, Iowa, USA - MAY 30, 2008

AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20

FROTHINGSLOSH (3205) - GREENSBURG, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 23, 2008

Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a hazy orange-amber color with a medium sized soapy yellow-white head that faded quickly. The aroma was sweet, sugary,musty, yeasty and lightly fruity - quite complex. The flavor was dryish, must and had a nice citrus undercurrent with a lightly tart finish. Very nice.

Trev (1424) - Lakeville, Minnesota, USA - MAY 17, 2008

Pours a cloudy orange-amber with a nice off white head. light peachy fruit and sweet caramel malt aroma. Flavour is light and fruity, lively carbonation keeps the palate from being too light. Overall a nice drinking medium bodied ale.

radagast83 (2202) - Fairfax, Virginia, USA - MAY 13, 2008

12 oz bottle. Pours a golden color, with a white head. The aroma is somewhat fruity. Flavor is the same, with noticeable hops and yeast flavors. Overall this is pretty refreshing - but unfortunately slightly forgettable.

demdeac40 (291) - Etowah, North Carolina, USA - MAY 13, 2008

Pours a nice deep golden color with a nice white head. The nose is nice and fruity. Peaches and bananas with a nice malty undertone. Palate is very light with a definite banana on the front. Finishes crisp. A great quaffer. Not comparable to a true belgian but good in its own right.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20

Syd (920) - Waconia, Minnesota, USA - MAY 2, 2008

Bottle pours a hazy burnt amber with a large, but short lived head and not much lace. The aroma is hops, yeast, and citrus. The flavor is yeasty, fruity, some hops, sweet, and mild, but certainly not bad. The palate is medium and cleansing. Overall, this is an interesting effort. Under rated in my opinion.
