Golden with great lace - earthy aroma and a great bit. This would be great with Thai or even Mexican. Even works with chocolate.

Orangy opaque in colour with light lacing head. You can smell the apricot and peach and a bit of the alcohol. The taste is very fruity and has a lot of bite. It’s like a typical strong ale but fruity. It’s a very unexpected twist on a traditional style. This is a very consistent and complex beer. Kudos!

Aroma- Nutmeg, apricot, and that wonderful, traditional belgian yeast.
App- Pours an incredibly clear gold with a soft pillowy head
Taste- Nutmeg and cinnamon up front followed by sweet undertones of peach and apricot. The beer finishes with a nice spice (pepper?) balanced with bready belgian yeast. Yum!
Palate- for a belgian golden this beer is fairly heavy on the palate, yet light. Reminds me of a good champagne.
Overall, another excellent beer from avery, intricate and classic!

Bomber. Surprisingly good. I liked it. Pours lightly hazy golden with a medium sized white head and good lace. Smells bready and sweet with some yeast and fruit. Tastes of sweet cereal malts and bread with spices, maybe cinnamon and clove. A hint of fruit and a good dose of alcohol. Medium body, good carbonation.

Almost clear gold with light fluffy head. Aroma of hay, sweet citrus, honey, and maybe a little banana. Fluffy feel, nice mild flavor, smotth with light citrus, clove and spices, light herby and woodsy hop. Alcohol is very well hidden. A nice easy drinking beer with good complex flavor.

The pour was golden and hazy, really quite pretty. The head was small, white and dissipated rather quickly. The smell was fairly faint, especially for the style, Belgian golden ale, but smelled of fruit, maybe apricots, and floral hops. The initial taste was very good, kind of sweet, but in a good way. The finish was also very good with a good hop bitterness. I didn’t get the Avery out of the fridge early enough so the beer was rather cold when I began. That may have muted the aroma and it certainly affected the taste. As the beer warmed to cellar temperature and beyond, hey it was 24 oz, the flavors really opened up. I got a bit of a smell of apple and the hops flavor was more present.
