Commercial Description:
We believe in Karma. We suspect most of you do, too. It truly is a global concept. Very simply put, "you get what you give." Inspired by this principle and the wonderful farmhouse and pale ales of Belgium, we've created Karma Ale, a decidedly fruity and estery ale, intricate in body and nose, all driven by a unique Belgian yeast strain. Remember, good things DO happen to good people. Here's to being good!

Sweet eggnog nose. Deep amber, smallish head. Slight maltiness, with some tart/sourness leading into bitterness. Feels heavier bodied initially, but finishes light. Interesting beer, could use maybe a little more alcohol? Maybe more carbonation? Bottle conditioning? Seems like a beer with more potential that is not quite realized.

Kinda sour. Not the greatest. Has a decent nose with some florals, a little dry at the end but more like a wine than a beer. If I ever try to convert a chard wine drinker to beer, this will be that beer.

This to me is one of the, if not the weakest beer in their portfolio. Decidedly tame, and unfulfilling, with just the slightest aromatics resembling anything Belgian. In the beginning you get a small amount of floral, followed by citrus hops, and just the slightest butterscotch maltiness. Karma will definitely come back to haunt them for making this crap.

clear gold color, no bubbling. Big head on the pour that quickly goes to nothing. Smells like sharp malt and yeast. Taste is a little congesting, and burns a bit and is like matly citrus beer. Finish is harsh. Weak lacing.

Pours a hazy dark amber, with no head. Slightly putrid, with floral and earthy hop notes. Flavor has a bit of spice, but is dominated by the hops. Palate is nice...smooth and creamy. Overall, this beer doesn’t quite go together. It has some good parts, but they don’t quite mesh.

Bottle. Poured a clear amber with off-white head with good retention. Aroma had some slight floral notes, slight malt, and slight alcohol, note very strong. Flavor was nice, semi sweet, hints of citris, very slight bitter. Body was medium mouth feel, medium carbonation. Was tasty, good entry level craft ale.

Pours amber with huge white head. Good amount of lacings. Aroma is less than average. Taste is less than the average for an APA. Great label art.

12 oz. bottle. Pours a hazyamber color with a disappearing off white head. The aroma is light fruit, yeast, caramel malt, and some citrus. The flavor seems a little watered down but has some caramel malt, light fruit, biscuit, yeast. Light/ medium bodied with lively carbonation. Not one of my favorites.
