2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
12 oz bottle: Pours a clear golden with a hint of amber and a nice big sized white foamy head that lingers for a while. Aroma is fruity, light citrus, and somewhat grainy and bready. Taste is somewhat underwhelming with a grain note and flat with some fruit and lightly spiced with some caramel malt notes as well. palate has a lingering fruity sweetness. Overall, It’s a decent brew but the taste is rather blah in my opinion. Cheers!
2.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
12oz bottle. Pours murky dark copper with a thin white head. Caramel, butterscotch, mint, cilantro and wet grass on the nose. Not overly pleasant. Fairly bland flavor. Some lighter toasty malt, watery grain. Slightly zingy finish with some wet cardboard for added effect. Kind of watery. Messy and unimpressive.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle. Pours amber with a white head. Sweet and fruity hop aroma with a hint of caramel and honey. Medium body. Sweet malt flavor with nutmeg and caramel. Pretty good.
3.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
pours a hazy darkish amber with an off-white head. aroma is spiced honey, citrusy hops, pine and a little zing. taste is spiced with yeasty notes & malt. i agree with some of the previous reviews; the taste is where this one falls flat. the aroma is enticing, but then the taste is just to simple and mellow. mid-full bodied with a foamy, prickly mouthfeel. light bitter finish. really not the best i’ve had from avery, but would probably fit nicely into a session.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Bottle. Probably my least favorite of all Averys. I do not get much Belgian characteristics out of this. Rather a mess of some spices and yeast and a bit of honey. Not very good
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Didn’t take notes, but considering I can’t remember this beer very much amongst six average beers speaks pretty much for itself. Some bitterness, but pretty boring.
2.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
Poured a slightly hazed golden amber with a small white head, little lacing. Had a great nose lightly metallic with hints of spice, some citrus fruits and hops. Overall, a pretty weak Belgian ale.
2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
Nice deep copper coloured body with a hazy hue to it and a smallish tan head. Aroma of fresh hops, metal, blood, corn and some light sugars. Medium-bodied; Mild malty taste with some sweetness and not much else - very bland! Aftertaste shows some of the corn and cardboard - but once again...pretty bad actually! Overall, this one looks and smells a bit better than it tastes...but all things considered, this is a pretty bad offering. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle purchased from Chevy Chase Wine & Liquors in Washington, D.C. on 19-November-2005 on the Eastern Shore of Virginia.
