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 oz. bottle. Pours a hazyamber color with a disappearing off white head. The aroma is light fruit, yeast, caramel malt, and some citrus. The flavor seems a little watered down but has some caramel malt, light fruit, biscuit, yeast. Light/ medium bodied with lively carbonation. Not one of my favorites.

12oz brown bottle poured into pint glass. A nice hazy copper pour with a white lasting head. Caramel sweetness mixes well with the hops and a mild berry offering on the nose. Extremely well balanced on the palate with berries, grassy hops, and a nutty aftertaste. Medium carbonation with medium to light body. Crisp beer. Nice summer brew, I will revisit.

Light aroma of yeast and some grape. Hazy red-orange color with a small white head. Light sweet taste with a mild finish. Sticky palate.

12 0z. bottle, large white head with nice golden color, fruity nose of apricot or plum, somewhat watery or thin with a not very strong flavor, i would agree that their other beers are better, this and the white rascal did not work for me

bottle - Pours slightly hazy light amber with a one finger head. It has a mild aroma of malt, citrus, and esters. The flavor is sweet malt with a touch of yeast and some mild hops that shows up mostly in the finish. It’s alright, but Avery makes many better beers.

Pours small hea which quickly dissipates. No aroma per se. Says its a Belgian? Honestly, it reminds me more of an English ale than a Belgian. Light body. Perhaps there’s a little risidual sourness in the yeast strain which could possibly make it akin to a Belgian? Still, a bit dissipointed of all the beers I’ve had from Avery.

Elizavyeta (110) - Minnesota, USA - FEB 26, 2008
A relatively light and nutty ale with a distinctive dark brown appearance. Aromas of tasted malt and molasses prevail. Actual flavor tends more towards the sweet, somewhat fruity side with a yeasty and earthy tones, but without the usual complexity Avery offers. Pair with a nice grilled pork chop and pear compote.

WallyWalrus (205) - Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA - FEB 26, 2008
12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy orange/amber with a billowy white head. Aroma is sweet and spicy, with strong notes of hops, honey, and spices. Taste is light and creamy, with only the slightest sweet hoppy flavor to speak of -- perhaps a twinge of malt or grain. The most inoffensively neutral beer I’ve ever had.
