3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bomber. Poured medium orange with a short-lived cap of white head... receded to spotty dusting and a ring after a short while. The nose found light fruits (apricot and orange zest), caramel and other sweetness, and clovey spices... decent, but not great. Flavor was sweet with fruity and alcohol sugars.. the booze factor was at the high-end, and it wasn’t really complimentary.. tacky caramel and woodsy notes across the middle through the finish. This was certainly a BIG BEER, but didn’t flow well.

This beer is an excellent American interpetation of a belgian beer.Nice golden color, spicy aroma and big alcohol. This beer definatly gets better with age. I currently have 3 years in my beer cellar.

Bottle. I really like this golden ale. Pours golden color with a sweet malty peachy/pear aroma. Good spiciness is well detectable throughout this offering. One of my favorites from avery.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20
UPDATED: NOV 14, 2006 Bottle. Theres always an feeling of excitement when trying a Avery beer, unfortunately the excitement is always very shortlived. This was a particularly sweet Belgian style. Gold/orange colour. Lots of sweet/sticky candy-ish flavours, citrus and lots of alcohol warmth. A cosmetic type flavour kept popping up on every sip, and it only aided in the sweetness being a little less bearable. Mouthfeel is very uniform, with only this sticky sweetness dominiating. Again, i have been left a little bit dissapointed with Avery.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Brown pour. Off white head. Honey, agave nectar, oranges, caramel and hops. Flavor is sweet but has a good hop backbone to back it up. I liked this a lot.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle. Medium high white creamy and lastinhg head. Hazy orange body. Clear and distinct barley malt aroma. Barley malt flavor without much bitterness but on the other hand the high alcohol percentage is well hidden. Carbonation low. Aftertaste long and good barley malt.
3.6 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Lightly hazy golden blond color with lots of carbonation and creamy thick head. Lacing is full and complete. The aroma is very earthy and spicy with some notes of yeast and a little hops. The flavor has a moderate alcohol feel along with a good malty yeast body. Some more spices are apparent in the flavor and it has that dry cinnamon feel, earthy. The finish is lightly hoppy, semisweet, dry. This is a unique BSA but it’s not too bad.
