Karma, Beer Style

May the birthday beer tasting continue with a little Avery Karma. A seasonal from this Boulder, CO based brewery that already has a wide variety of beer. Karma looks like it should be inspired from India but in fact is based on a Belgian Farmhouse style of beer. It tastes like a mellow Saison to me, still has the delicious fruit ester quality without being sweet.

So Saisons are a fun style of Belgian beer. They originate from the farm houses in Belgium they are brewed during planting, fermented during growing and enjoyed at harvest. It seems that no two Saisons are alike and that adds to the uniqueness of this style of beer.

Ok, back to Avery's version. When compared to a Saison I find it to be a mild version of the style but still quite enjoyable. I love that it is a unique seasonal that doesn't conform to the big four in craft beer seasonals: hoppy spring beer, light summer lager, octoberest followed by spicy holiday brew. If drinking more Karma gives you good "Karma" then I'll be sitting down with a six pack of this very drinkable brew.
