| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 22, 2007 Orange/light amber pour. Thin, light ringlets of lacing. White head is quickly diminishing, though not fully so. Aroma is of candy sugar, lightly toasted malts, flaked citrus rinds, yeast and slight tartness. Flavor is dusty and grainy, showcasing more lightly toasted malts and sugars throughout. Finishes semi-dry, with subtle lingering dark fruits and citrus oils. Palate is medium-light to medium-full, quite sticky. Draft and bottle samples, very tasty when fresh. Of this offering, the Russian River brew with the same name, and Collaboration Not Litigation, all tasted side-by-side, this one wins out as the most refreshing and my favorite of the three. gputty (456), Virgina Beach, Virginia, USA

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 3, 2006 From a 22 oz. gold foil wrapped capped bomber bottle, blurb along the right side of label, no bottled/freshness date, sampled from the refrigerator in a chalice.
Poured a cloudy orange with a foamy white head that settled into a thin, bubbly lacing, small amount of laced sticking.
Aromas of peppery spice, nutmeg and sugary alcohol, honey wheat malts, apricot and citrus fruity.
Good carbonation and crisp, dry and smooth medium bodied mouthfeel.
Pleasant tasting with the Avery kink, apricot, peach and orange fruity, a bit sugary, but light in the candiness, honey malts, peppery, earthy hops, a mild rolling bitterness, the alcohol is sweet and warming in the palate, and a dry earthy, peach fruity, sweet malty finish with the alcohol lingering in the palate, good strong pale ale drinkability.
I can’t believe I hadn’t try this before, a good Belgian strong pale ale with the Avery twist, worth trying.
