UPDATED: OCT 11, 2010 1. On Tap at the Avery Brewing Company, Boulder 23/09/2009 Fruit aroma. White head. Golden coloured and a little hazy in appearance. Strong in alcohol with a little dryness in a crisp and bitter malt finish. 2. On Tap at the Goosetown Tavern, Denver 14/09/2010 Malt and hop aromas. Golden coloured strong in alcohol hoppy and smooth on the palate with a hint of dryness in a yeasty warming malt finish.

(Bottled 1 Pint 6 Fl. Oz, BB 11/2009). Hazy orange-amber color, small steady off-white head. Apricot, peach and spices in the fruity nose. Very sweet fruity-yeasty flavor - apricot, peach, banana and some spices. First thought was: "hmm .. this tastes very English" and sure, Styrian Goldings hops are used. Hops rise in the finish. Also Belgian style candy sugar sweetness. Aftertaste has some alcohol too and dry hoppy notes. Quite pleasant, just a bit too sugary, propably would be better after one or two years in the cellar.

Sweet sugar & slightly spicy aroma. Taste is sweet and slightly astringent. I’ve liked the other Avery beers I’ve tried, but this one misses the mark.

Bottle, 22oz. A hazy, orange beer with some microfloaties and a small, off-white head. Sweet, syrupy nose, a bit herbal, with peaches in the background. Sugary sweet flavor with a good dash of fruits, some herbal notes and an evident but pleasant alcohol warmth. Full-bodied, sweetish mouthfeel. Lasting finish with sweetness, fruits, some herbs and alcohol. A quite pleasant beer, not impressing, easy drinkable but maybe a bit on the sweet side. (090213)

on tap-pours a thin white head. Color is a cloudy gold. Taste is clove and spicing. A bit sweet, thick.

Big bottle. Hazy light amberish colour. Sweet aroma of fruits, toasted malt and spices. The flavour is sweet with good toasty caramel and maltiness, fruity and spiced, alcoholic and hoppy. Bitter-sweet finish.

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2007. Clear golden - white head. Sweetness, honey, flowery, licorice, nice hoppy, bitter/sweet finish. And the typical american hop-tastes..

UPDATED: JUL 19, 2007 Bottle from Wohlenbergs, Sønderborg. Pours hazy orange amber with a thin white film head. Aroma is very powerful - oranges, yeast. A little spritzy mouthfeel. Flavour is slightly tart, oranges, and a heavy warmth from the alcohol. Not the most sophisticated BSA ever.
