22 oz bottle. Clear golden yellow with a foamy pure white head. Sweet malt and candi sugar aroma with light fruit and some spices. The flavor is lots of bready sweet malt with some light spices and apple. Medium body with average carbonation and a long sweet finish. Pretty solid beer, semi-sweet and hides the alcohol well.

Once poured from the glass there is deep golden color throughout the glass. The scent at first has a sweet intense flavor that finishs with a hint of corriander. A great tasting Beligan like beer! Has a deep flavor that coats and shocks the taste buds!

3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 elpresidente19 (30) - Colorado, USA - MAY 6, 2010
Aroma- Nutmeg, apricot, and that wonderful, traditional belgian yeast.
App- Pours an incredibly clear gold with a soft pillowy head
Taste- Nutmeg and cinnamon up front followed by sweet undertones of peach and apricot. The beer finishes with a nice spice (pepper?) balanced with bready belgian yeast. Yum!
Palate- for a belgian golden this beer is fairly heavy on the palate, yet light. Reminds me of a good champagne.
Overall, another excellent beer from avery, intricate and classic!
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20 Gregis (1250) - Shawnee, Kansas, USA - MAY 2, 2010
Pours a hazy, dark golden amber with a small off-white head that quickly collapses to a thin skin at the surface. The note is of dried apricots, lemon zest and white pepper over clean pale malt. Medium-bodied with fine carbination (the same apricot note on the nose) malt upfront with a white pepper complimentary note leading into a moderately dry, spicy finish. This is a solid beer especially for the sub-seven dollar price point, for a bomber.

22 Oz.. Pours hazy with an almost glowing copper-orange color with minimal head. Aroma is intricate at first an almost grainy bread smell followed by fruit aromas that is almost of peaches. Flavor comes on with a spicy bitter bite calmed by malty and sweet undertones. A light bodied beer with a finishes a nice spicy bitter followed by that classic Belgian yeast taste.
An excellent brew!
