UPDATED: OCT 30, 2007 Sour aroma with a hint of cinnamon. Taste is sweetness masked by sour with a strong liquory undertow and a salty aftertaste. ($5/22oz)

22 oz bottle, tulip glass. Toast grain/light bread malt (L); perfume and flower hops (M); doughy yesat (L); nutmeg aroma. Clear golden-peach body has a large, creamy white head that is slowly diminishing. Moderately sweet, lightly bitter, lightly acidic flavor becomes a moderately bitter, lightly sweet, lightly acidic finish. Medium-heavy body, creamy texture, lively carbonation. The bottom line is: fourth bottle of Avery in a row that has wowed me.

Pours hazy orange gold with a thin head. Aroma is spice bread, and yeasty apricot. Bready caramel malt flavour, light grassy bitterness and a slightly stickey alcohol finish.

Hazy orange with glints of gold. Thin white head with little lacing. Wheaty Belgian nose with some mild sourness. Taste similar with good hops and some subtle honey and fruit notes. Medium body with nice fizz factor.

hazy golden color with a thin white lasting head. aroma is very yeasty with some spice and a hint of lemon. flavor is sweet with a moderate presence of alcohol.

Bottle as shown. Pours a orange golden color with a medium white head that dimishes quickly. Has a stong fruity aroma of tangerine and apples. Good lacing on this one. The taste is a sweet orange and citrus with a smooth finish that hides the alcohol well. A very impressive belgian strong ale from Avery.

UPDATED: NOV 30, 2007 On tap at the Happy Gnome. Light, golden orange in color. Syrupy and pungent aroma of sour orange and urinal alcohol. Tastes of lemon zest and some floral hops with a slight but forceful presence of alcohol. Palate is light but not hollow, and quite smooth. Not memorable, and made with a sloppy design, though it retains tolerability throughout.

Draft at Avery Taproom. Pours golden with a slight head that leaves a lot of lacing. Has a slight champagne yeast quality on the nose. Taste has a touch of sweetness to it as well as some fruitiness. It hides it’s alcohol fairly well. Clean finisher.
