The problem with the Avery "The" series (Czar, Reverend, Majaraja, Kaiser), is it’s hard to remember which ones you’ve had. Now that I’ve finally had the Reverend, I’ve had them all, so I don’t need to worry about it. Clearly underrated, there appears to be a bias against Avery for some reason. This is clearly one of the top 10-15 brewers in the country. Relatively faint aroma with some Belgian qualities. Slightly hazy copper body. Large yellowish, off-white head. Beautiful copper with lots of visible carbonation. Excellent lace. Very sweet and strong. Similar to New Glarus Unplugged Belgian Quad. This has a little more hop in the finish and is better than the NG. Excellent. ross (1709), weddington, South Carolina, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 15/20 | Jul 17, 2005 pours out a dark red looking color with a small head that goes away very quickly. i knew what this beer was rated when i drank it, so needless to say, my expectations were relatively low. wow, what a disappointment in the ratings. this was a damn good beer that i felt was incredibly easy to drink, full of flavor, and once again very easy to drink. perhaps a little thin for a quad, but aside from that, i think this is under-rated. nice refreshing beer, something that i will drink providing they pass the beer law. joet (1709), Fulton, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 30, 2002 Smells and looks like a deep tripel -- a deep glowing orange and citric in the nose. Some cotton candy, mucho alcohol, not blazingly bright but light on the tongue and this is my favorite kind of complexity. It’s easier to make something complex with a dozen malts and a dozen hops in a big black slush. This is a finer, lighter buffet of sensations and comes through at 10% ABV. The feel is medium creamy. I believe! SudsMcDuff (1703), was CapeTown,SA-now Houston, Texas, USA

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 10, 2005 Pours a two-finger cream head that goes slowly and leaves some lace. Clear amber color. Light-medium carbonation and medium bodied. Nose is spicey alcohol. Starts with a brown sugar and oak taste, hops are hidden in the background and the high ABV is not really noticeable. 22oz bottle for $6.20 from Colonial Spirits Acton, Ma. sloth (1678), Ceciltucky, Co., Maryland, USA

Malty sweet, spicey nose, cinnamony, caramel notes. Med body. Sweet brew, spicey . Alc is well masked. Sweet finish, a little too sweet fer my tastes. Should try to age the sweetness out. Gots potential here. Odeed (1677), Bakersfield, California, USA
