3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
On tap at the Avery 12th anniversary party. Sharp sour aroma with some hops and grain. Golden deep color, white head. Sweet and sour taste, caramel, grains and hops. THe fruitiness was a sour orange flavor. Very interesting. Slighly cloying feel with a somewhat sticky finish. All in all a good beer that kinda doesn’t know whether to be sipping beer or not.

Copper body with an off-white head. Creamy and lingering. Lemony sweet aroma. Reminds me of Crystal Light. Much more subdued aroma than is typical for Avery’s big brews. Really great mouthfeel. Very soft and velvety. Pronounced yeast and citrus flavors.

Light blondish ale. Tiny bit of malt. Hey. It’s good to see them finally enter our market. Salvation is the nice Belgian style that overshadows a good chunk of the market.

I enjoyed this beer quite a bit. Pours a cloudy apple juice and has very little head. Aroma is very good...toasted lady fingers...spice, sweet malt and fruit...a bit of belgian yeast. Taste is actually fairly wheatish...must be the spice. Alcohol is totally balanced. Mouthfeel is very crisp and dry.

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.

Thin head retention. Heavy golden color with amber accents. Complex fruity aroma with alchohol notes. The alchohol content belies a suprisingly medium body. Candi sugar sweetness blends well with hop spiciness and alchohol warmth. Very American take on this Belgian style. Intersting to see a "light" beer from Avery :)

Pours a clear light amberwith a white head. Smells yeasty. Sweet with yeasty and fruity aromas (apple). Full bodied. Very "Belgish".

Bottle (650ml). Poured clear amberish gold with a decent but diminishing white head. Spicy, yeasty, fruity sweet malt aroma, some alcohol, quite a bit of tart, almost sour fruit on warming (persimmon?). Taste is a real melange of fruit, spice, yeast, bitterness, alcohol - Lord, this is not balanced or blended, but it sure is fun. Average body, lively, herbal, sticky mouthfeel - leaves a bit of an apple core aftertaste - the alcohol sneaks up and packs a punch - short linger; my wife and I split the bomber and we were merry o yes!
