Nov 19, 2006 Bottled, UDRBG. Aroma is nice, herbal, floral and fruity apple. Hazy, yellow color white head, good lace. So far so good. But then the flavor. Overwhelming sweet, honey and fruity, very malty, bitter finish, sticky. I’m sure there’s more in this beer but the sweetness hides it all.

Nov 15, 2006 Deep golden hues, thin head. Floral sweetness, great belgian style aroma! Hoppy and full on the tongue. Slightly too sweet and undercarbonated. For the ABV being high the alcohol is masked. Good job.

Nov 14, 2006 Poured a peachy, orange color with a thin whispy white head. More hop fragrance than I imagined, slightly piney but also contains grainy, yeasty and a sweet, candy aroma like bubblegum. Initial flavor is sweet and candy like, but the finish brings a strange flavor of medicine. I was disappointed in the flavor and the finish.

Nov 13, 2006 Updated: Nov 14, 2006Bottle. Theres always an feeling of excitement when trying a Avery beer, unfortunately the excitement is always very shortlived. This was a particularly sweet Belgian style. Gold/orange colour. Lots of sweet/sticky candy-ish flavours, citrus and lots of alcohol warmth. A cosmetic type flavour kept popping up on every sip, and it only aided in the sweetness being a little less bearable. Mouthfeel is very uniform, with only this sticky sweetness dominiating. Again, i have been left a little bit dissapointed with Avery.

Nov 6, 2006 Beer 41. A little cloudy, but pretty normal per the style. Spicy, but not really that complex, I could drink quite a bit of this.

Nov 2, 2006 Pale golden beer. Light Belgiany phenolics in the nose with some clove and peach. Flavour is very oaky with yeasty spice over light peach/apricot esters. Honeyish maltiness. Vanilla and oakiness with some soft resinousness in back. Well balanced and tasty.

Nov 1, 2006 A very nice beer from a great brewery. A great example of a "lighter" but still BIG belgian. At 9% ABV this one can warm you up in a hurry.
