Bottle at Brewtopia ’04. Deep golden color with little head. Aroma is malt and spicy orange with no hop aroma as expected for the style. Flavor is heavily spiced, citrusy. Not bad.

Bottle at Brewtopia ’04. Little head above a clear, deep yellow body. Hop aroma is a little much for the style. The flavor is spicy, playing between clove, corriander and orange in the background. O.K., but not hitting the mark dead on. Re-Rate From my cellar. Oily orange.amber with little head. Spicy sweet caramel aroma. The flavors are nicely melded together after cellaring.

Pours a copper out of the bottle. Nice big white head that lasts long after the first sip. Aroma is very piney and earthy. Flavor is of course hoppy! Damn hoppy! I also get some citrus as its rolls over the tounge. Very nice but i can see how some may not like it. Its hopped out the wazoo.

Pours clear copper with a thin-medium off-white/cream head. Aroma is rather light, herbal, and biscuity. The body is as described quite mineraly and the herbal, spicy and somewhat piney/bitter hops play off the water and biscuity malt quite nicely. One of the better bitters I’ve sampled.

New World Porter from Avery Brewing Company

Not as good as Fuller’s but still a great Porter. Pours a very dark brown/black with a thick light brown head. Thin, spidery lacing throughout. The aroma is roasty with hops and cocoa. Medium-bodied with a nice blend of roasted malt, chocolate and coffee flavors. The finish is roasty and lightly hopped and lasting. I liked this one.

A person could keep busy just tracking down the anniversary beers from the different craft brewers. This Double IPA is a rich orange/amber color with a medium and creamy off-white head. Nice lacing rings for the whole glass. The aroma is a potent array of hops, citrus and pine. Full body, and despite what the label states the hops are not overboard in any way. Actually the hops are understated at times, and there is a nice citrus and malt balance, making this a tasty treat. The 9% ABV creeps up toward the end of the glass too. The finish is tart hops with a hint of sweet fruit. All in all this is a nicely balanced Imperial IPA that I could enjoy any time.

6.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Poured clear copper/amber, with a medium off-white head. The aroma portended mediocrity: coriander, apple, and musty, slightly tangy fruit. This sub-stellar assemblage met again in the flavor, which was dominated by spicing (coriander, pepper, clove?) with pear and sweet vaguely caramelesque malts. Alcohol was noticeable too. After trying The Beast, this falls far, far short for Avery. Not very complex or exciting, the spiciness instead borders on the offensive.

Anniversary Ten from Avery Brewing Company

8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
22 oz bottle. Pours a ruddy amber/orange, clear and filtered with a firm off-white head. Aroma of hops, so many you can’t put your finger on it. Almost a marmalade-like citrus. Very fruity, yet mixed with a slight caramel and toffee note. The hops aroma is intense and deep. Flavor is hugely hoppy, yet strongly sweet due to the heavy malting. Creates a great balance and there is a decent complexity of orange fruits, caramel, some raisins and a dry, light yeast presence. Not much acidity, I was worried about that. Good full body. Great stuff, surprised so few people like this one. Proabably the 14 or so months of aging have helped this one.

Slightly hazy golden-amber. Plasticy nose with peach and alcohol. Very plasticy, with thick, gluey malts. SOme peach/pear fruitiness. Stiff shot of alcohol helps improve drinkability but only to a point.

A red beer with a beutiful light brown head. The aroma is fantastic; berries, especially cowberries, hops, and spices. The flavor is like black currant juice - that gives You warmth, since the alcohol runs down Your cheeks. An excellent beer. Thanks to Mads Berg for sharing this one.
