3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: FEB 18, 2008 Golden filtered color, white head. Average lacing. Flavor a little syrupy, slightly spicy, hoppy finish. This was a bit of a disappointment.. I have really enjoyed most of the other avery beers i have had. Bland flavor.

I can’t believe this only rates an 89. I found it to be excellent. Pours a slightly hazy gold with a big, fat white head. Nice fruity, yeasty aroma. Rich flavor full of sweet fruitness with a dash of spice. Nice and full on the palate. A wonderful Belgian strong ... actually one of the few (outside of Unibroue) non-Belgian breweries to nail the style, in my opinion.

22oz bottle-A dark golden/light amber body with a small ring for a head and an aroma of yeast with some citrus in there as well. This brew starts off with the yeast and citrus(almost hefe like) then goes into more yeasty and slight alcohol along with some banana. An easy drinking Golden.

22 0z. bottle, has a big billowy head that quickly retreats, nice fruit and spice, well carbonated, good finish
2.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 8/20
On tap at Vintage Estates, great place, thanks Ron, I mean Nuts. Starts off with a big and creamy alabaster head then the head fades to a steady quarter inch. Otherwise this stuff looks like ubiquitous pale yellow american beer. Below average carbonation initially on the tongue. Starts off pretty hoppy but that evolves into a more friendly fruity feel. Each sip after the other seems less bitter than the first. Tends to get better tasting and more enjoyable as the session continues. Must be that numbing effect of the alky content. Finish is quite alcoholic.
3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: SEP 10, 2009 Rerate: Pours a clear orange with a small ivory head. Aroma is of orange, white bread, and honey. Flavor is very boozy for 9%. Booze is present throughout. Also manifest vague light fruits and nailpolish remover, witch hazel. Mouthfeel is watery, dead. This would’ve been more pleasant if the alcohol wasn’t so aggresive. Overall, good minus.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Pours a bright golden color with a fluffy cotton candy head. Sweet yeasty aroma of some citrus and candy with a dash of cinnamon and cardomon. The flavor is very fruity up front and spicy on the way down. A very solid American impersonation of a golden Belgian.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Tap @ TJ’s Paoli, PA. Amber with beige head that fell fairly quickly, minimum lace. Aroma was slight due to cold temp but as it warmed there was a very nice fresh, clean, malty, spicy flavor. Ample sweetness but it fit very well with the beer overall. Pleasant fruits, sweet spice ( I was getting a hint of pumpkin pie), and hop notes woven into the mix. Alcohol very well integrated. Well into medium bodied. I liked this brew and will seek not only it but all of Avery’s offerings.
