3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Light fruity aromas of peach orange, clove with grain and flowers mixed in. It has a smallish white head which just about diminished each time the glass sat. It’s color is an almost clear, gold hue. Taste is refreshing in that it almost has an "ade" quality to it. Acidic and salty to start, and acidy and bitter in the finish. Light to medium on the palate, dry/watery in texture and lively carbonated.
3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
The aroma is complex with coriander, nutmeg, light fruit, yeast, malt, and alcohol. The appearance is hazy copper gold with a two finger head. The flavor is complex just like the aroma with a spicy peppery finish. The palate is smooth. This beer could be from several of the best breweries of Belgium and no one would even know it’s an Avery. Maybe I should say any of the best brewers of Belgium are close to the quality of Avery.

2006 Bomber. Beer is clear, medium golden-brown colored. Head is initially average-to-large, white, frothy. Mostly diminishes, some lacing on the snifter.<P>
The aroma isn’t very Belgian, but it is strong. It’s malty with light notes of cookie, toasted grain; Moderate hop notes of herb, flowers, stinky bitter resin; Yeasty with a light note of dish rag, moderate dough; Light notes of spicy alch, peach/bubble gum, ground pepper.<P>
The flavor is moderately sweet, moderately-to-heavily bitter, lightly acidic with a long, moderately sweet, lightly bitter, warm finish. Some huskiness in the retros.<P>
The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.With this much alcohol I was hoping for something sexier in the mouth.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma of citrus and ripe, tropical fruits and fresh hops. Pretty much the Avery house character, which I love. Flavour is also more Avery than Belgian, but on the sweet (and peachy) side.

22oz. Bottle: Sweet aroma is very complex. Notes of fruit, blueberry, bubblegum, peach, yeast, and nutmeg. Poured golden in color with a big, creamy, off-white/light yellow head that lasted throughout. Very good lacing. Clear and lightly sparkling. Flavor is heavily sweet and lightly sour but not bitter. Tastes heavily of nutmeg and cinnamon. Also hints of coriander and tart cherry. Medium to full body. Flat to soft carbonation. Finish is long and tart/sour. Finish almost makes you pucker your lips. Overall, interesting. I liked it better than I thought I might.
