Avery Karma Review #44

Avery Karma
Style: Belgian Ale
ABV: 5.2%
Spring Seasonal
Limited Release
12oz Bottle Poured Into A Dogfish Head Pint Glass

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!

The flavor shows fruity Belgian yeast with pale malts and dry grains. The beer had a Pils-like quality to it's flavor profile, though considerably more yeasty. The beer has a slight dry hop flavor on the aftertaste. They classify this as a Belgian ale, but I disagree with this. I consider this beer to be more of a APA or a light IPA.
