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!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
