| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 12, 2009 Pretty typical americanized belgian. Slightly fruity/estery nose with some hints of malt. Flavor is light with fruit esters, yeast and faint hints of malt. Nothing really impressive. NobleSquirrel (1120), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | May 9, 2009 Bottle at Kuma’s. Pours a nice golden copper with fluffy dissipating head. NOse sucks at first, plastic and DMS. Fortunately, that goes away and leaves you with a kiss of citrus, corn and malt. Taste is better, actually thought Kolsch at first. Not a whole lot going on in this one... halfonit (479), Fall River, Massachusetts, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 9, 2009 This one is more of a brown citrus ale. Not too bad of a brew, It’s just not my type. If I were a fan of this one, I’d like it, I can tell that. ljstephenson (114), Lawton, Oklahoma, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 8, 2009 Nice clear copper pour with a disappearing head, aroma is very malty, taste starts a bit bitter then sweet with caramel, finishes crisp and dry, nothing really sets it apart from others. smcolw (366), Wayland, Massachusetts, USA
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | May 8, 2009 Decent head initially, but it doesn’t leave a lot of lace. Copper color but quite clear for the style.
Clean, lighter grain malty aroma. Light alcohol and a scent of Belgian yeast in the background.
Stronger yeast flavor than the aroma would indicate. Raw grain base with a mild hop that doesn’t really give much bitterness. The body is as expected.

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Apr 29, 2009 Orange pour. Slightly musty and dry smell. Sweet and tart taste with banana and a touch, just a touch now of alcohol mind you. Nice finish. I like it, but it’s not your typical Belgian ale. couchand (182), Iowa City, Iowa, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 25, 2009 On tap at Papago Brewing in Scottsdale, AZ.
It’s a bit hazy, a golden amber with some off-white head. The aroma is very clean, with just a bit of maltiness showing through. The taste is caramel and herbs, with a light sweetness that is clean and drinkable. Karma is lively, light but significant. unclemike (833), Ft. Riley, Kansas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Apr 24, 2009 Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of sweet malts, dark fruits, and yeast. Not very Belgian in the aroma. Flavor starts off with a slight hint of some citrus hops, dark fruits, toasted malts, and some spices and finishes with almost nothing. Overall this really wasn’t that great but perhaps that’s because I was expecting more from Avery.
