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!

Poured Apple cider brown. With a thick bubbly white head that diminished into a thing layer. Left no lacing. Aroma of sweet malt. Tastes is the same, with a slight grapefruit hop in the finish. Mouthfeel is thin with little to no carbonation. Very easy to drink. Thanks for sharing AirForcehops.

bottle to goblet. Pours very light yellow at bottom to a cloudy dark orange at the densest part with thick lasting head. Smell is of bread and yeast. Initial taste is of bread and yeast and bread, very dense. Some fruit comes out but not much distinguishable. There is a light sweetness to this pale ale but it is not lasting in the finish. It closes with several different tones, most of them don’t quite work together. I find a light herbal taste going into a medicinal funk, some flowery notes, bubblegum but after the flavor is mostly all gone, it all seems a bit off. This is definitely drinkable but avery could do better, I still have faith in them.

Not that this beer was a let down........ but it was a let down. I was expecting much more Belgian traits but was more like a English style pale. Pours a nice golden color with decent head that dissipates quickly. Very bready flavor much like a Czech Pils. Little hint of lemon but hardly any hop profile. Very easy to drink however would much rather have something with more life to it. (ie a nice Trappist ale, or IPA)

Used a thumbler glass. 12 oz bottle. Brunt orange color, very hazy. Lively carbonation. Head was huge and fluffy and slowly creeps away,leaving a small layer. Nose is very pleasant. Banana, Belgian yeast and spice. Taste is mild fruit (apricot ) with clove spice in the background. Short finish. This brew has some drinkability but it sure isn’t going to get you aroused either. Not bad but not real memorable either.

Honey and hay nose, considerable canned green bean edge. Crystal clear amber, thin head. Medium body. Hay on the front. Pronounced green apple at midpalate. Quaffable, but weird. The apple notes were unexpected and out of place.

Tripplebrew (714) - Saint Paul, Minnesota, USA - MAY 26, 2011
Pours a copper with frothy tan-tinged head. Aroma is nutty (almond) and earthy with floral undertones. Flavor is rather toasty with roasted almond notes, caramel and hay. Body is creamy with active carbonation.
