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!

Copper reddish with nice, but quickly fading head. Sugary malts and fruits on the nose and a souring yeasty tang combines with the fruits, apples, berry, peach flavors to provide for a quenching brew. Not bad, but there was still something missing here.

Will this beer be a Good Karma or a Bad Karma? I was told there is no such thing as an in-between (except in the animation motion picture industry) so bring on the rating... From a 12-oz single bottle, shared by joebrew, pours a dark golden brew with a fast dissolving off-white head that leaves behing a fine ring. Aroma of dry malty caramel and a slight citrus zest with some sour apple. Taste is medium bodied, very light carbonation with flavors of caramel malt, some clove and a orange citrus bitter flavor. Finish is slightly metalic, a little bitter with some watery citrus aftertaste flavor. The verdict is Good Karma. Not an Excellent Karma but a good one instead.

Pretty bland brew. Nothing stood out. Typical Belgium yeast flavor, but at a modest level. Avery is much better with roasted malt or highly hopped recipes.

Pours a nice amber with a small white head. Light nutty, ripe tropical fruit, and apricot. Nice light carbonation with light citrus and good peach. A great session belgian ale for a good price.

bottle pours a light amber with minimal carbination and a thin layer of head on the glass. smell is sweet malts, peachy apricot, vanilla, and spice. taste is spicy malt, alcohol, and some hops. middle of the road beer, nothing unique in this one. i guess it is pretty close to a farmhouse, pale ale as the label advertises though. my least favorite so far from Avery.

Bottle. Pours copper with thick, foamy off-white head and small particles suspended in it. Aroma: apricot, orange, musky yeast. Flavor is faint caramelly malt and some apricot and lemon peel hop flavors. Slight unclean vinegary sauer kraut flavor. Some light grapefruit bitterness in the finish. Mouthfeel a little watery.

POurs light brown with a nice firm head. It shows fruit/citrus notes from the hops and then gives you a bit of a sweet and spicey palate witha longer lasting finish.

12oz bottle, still trying to like these belgians, this one is not bad, more sweet with a bland finish which makes this easy for me to drink. not bad, still trying on the belgians.
