pretty underrated it seems..pours reddish copper with small off-white head..aroma of apricot, spice, yeast, and citrus hops..flavor of belgian yeast, citrus hops, green apple, and pine..dry, and rather bitter finish...not bad

Bottle. Pours a clear red amber color with a small off white head that dissipates quickly. The aroma is a sweet licorice with fruity undertones. Decent lacing on this one. The taste is a sweet peach with a clean finish and very easy to drink.

12 oz. bottle pours a coppery amber with a rater spare and diminishing light tan head. Once it warms a bit, the aroma is fairly pleasant: some light stone fruit and caramel. Medium body and carbonation and a very mild astringency. Overall, the flavor was fairly neutral, in the end leaning toward a light dryness. Pleasant enough, but without anything that makes it stand out, no individual character.

The 12 ounce bottle poured a crystal clear, reddish-amber colored beverage with a medium sized white creamy head that was entirely lasting and left great lacing on the glass. The aroma was a bit lighter than I would expect from the style however, it did have the characteristic fruitiness with a hint of spices loitering in the back. The body was medium with medium carbonation as well and a slightly dry texture. The flavor started out somewhat flat - neither sweet nor bitter - but there was a subtle spiciness to it. The finish was moderately long and it had a subtle alcohol warmth along with the persistent spiciness at the end.

Copper reddish with nice, but quickly fading head. Sugary malts and fruits on the nose and a souring yeasty tang combines with the fruits, apples, berry, peach flavors to provide for a quenching brew. Not bad, but there was still something missing here.

Will this beer be a Good Karma or a Bad Karma? I was told there is no such thing as an in-between (except in the animation motion picture industry) so bring on the rating... From a 12-oz single bottle, shared by joebrew, pours a dark golden brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behing a fine ring. Aroma of dry malty caramel and a slight citrus zest with some sour apple. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, some clove and a orange citrus bitter flavor. Finish is slightly metalic, a little bitter with some watery citrus aftertaste flavor. The verdict is Good Karma. Not an Excellent Karma but a good one instead.

Pretty bland brew. Nothing stood out. Typical Belgium yeast flavor, but at a modest level. Avery is much better with roasted malt or highly hopped recipes.

Pours a nice amber with a small white head. Light nutty, ripe tropical fruit, and apricot. Nice light carbonation with light citrus and good peach. A great session belgian ale for a good price.
