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!

stegosaurus (1882) - Levittown, Pennsylvania, USA - FEB 10, 2006
pours orange-copper with a small compact creamy off-white head, aroma of spices,pine hops, and citrus. Flavor is a little over carbonated for such little mouth fill, sweet malts, slightly bitter, nothing great the beer fell apart once it was tasted, ok body, better than average but i guess i expected more, silly me.

frankenkitty (1958) - Oak Lawn, Illinois, USA - FEB 10, 2006
Lazy, hazy, amber/copper beneath a short, off-white head. Aroma and flavor suggest something went wrong by revealing initial cooked vegetables. Additional fruity notes from the yeasts with banana above weak caramel malts. Alcohol dries the mouth sharply after a buttery feel and lingers with sourness. Maybe I’ve just got some <a href=http://www.barlowz.net/extra/rimshot.wav>< Karma...

jimhilt (2166) - Bow, New Hampshire, USA - FEB 9, 2006
Pours a two-finger cream head that fades slowly leaving a little lace. Cloudy amber color. Malty/hoppy nose. Good carbonation and medium bodied. Starts with the hops dominating but not overpowering, malts are there, finish has a slight bitterness. $2.10 for a 12oz bottle from Julio’s Liquors Westborough, Ma.

Bottle. Cloudy orange with sweet, bready, yeasty aromas. Apricots and light fruits also have a presence. Watery and noy very distinctive.

Amber color, spicy, earthy, sourish, not great, on the thin side. Something was not quite right.

RAYBOY01 (2005) - Chicago, Illinois, USA - JAN 25, 2006
Some sour/tart yeasty components up front. Big caramel and toffee roasted maltiness. Very fruity and yeast heavy throughout. Sour finish seems to intrude abruptly and ends with a bit of metallic tinge.

Cornfield (5277) - Oak Forest, Illinois, USA - JAN 9, 2006
Deep amber with a quick-to-die off-white head, this ale has a toffee and caramel nose, lightly fruity, with yeast and a touch of earthy hop bitterness. The toffee surges forward in the flavor and the drink takes a somewhat tart turn. Tastes promised by the nose seem to recede. The finish is mildly sour and bitter. Interesting interpretation of a Belgian ale.

sfontain (539) - Columbus, Ohio, USA - JAN 5, 2006
12 oz. bottle. A Belgian? A Belgian?!? Come on. Ok... Pours a pleasant amber color with a large, creamy head that fills up my pint glass. I suppose I get a hint of Belgian in the aroma, with a little yeast and banana. The first sip is deceptively hoppy; it quickly tapers off into a flat, slightly metallic twinge; slight fruitiness; too bitter and sour. Very clean, light-bodied mouthfeel. A weak Belgian. Almost more reminiscent of a strong vienna than a Belgian.

demartino (6) - USA - JAN 3, 2006 does not count
this smells great, a little like fresh flowers. it pours pretty too. smooth drinking, with earthy and fruit notes, accenting the hops. i bet this’d go great with a sandwich; i should get one of those.
