Avery White Rascal

Full review with photos and links to other related blog reviews and articles: http://beer47.com/2009/04/avery-white-rascal-review/ ----- Condensed review:----- Appearance. White Rascal has a nice white frothy head that lingers in the form of a thin layer of foam on the top of your beer until the last drop. It is pale yellow-white in color and cloudy in appearance. ----- Smell. The aroma of this beer has the expected Belgian yeast smell but it is slightly subdued. The aroma has a smooth ripe banana smell. It has a hint of citrus and and sweet grains. ----- Taste. White Rascal has a light grain-like sweetness that can be described as refreshing. There is just the lightest hint of bitterness and it is enough to balance the light maltiness in the beer. The orange peels come through with a some citrus flavor in the finish. ----- Mouthfeel. The mouthfeel is that of a light-bodied beer with just the right amount of carbonation. ----- Drinkability. Just like many beers of this style, White Rascal is a very drinkable beer appropriate not only for warm weather but also for a slightly chilly evening.

Pours a lighter gold color with a thin white head. Tastes of coriander and oranges like a typical wibier. Pretty good for an american version. 12 oz. bottle.

Probably the closest thing to a belgian wheat that an American company has made. Orange peel and coriander give this brew a great authentic flavor.

Tap @ Pizza Port SB. Poured a clear faint yellow with a fizzy white head. Not a good start. Pleasant wheat and spice aroma, sweeter than most. Taste was very light, even for the style. Tart wheat and orange peel dominate. Some spice, but nothing to really distinguish the beer. Dry, crisp finish. Refreshing but lacking.

12oz bottle. Pours a clear golden straw color with a small off white head with some retention but no lacing. Aroma is lemon zest, coriander, vanilla bean, and clove. Very spicy and complex on the nose. Taste is orange citrus and sweet wheat malt with muted clove and coriander spices in the middle, and through to a lightly bitter hop finish. An excellent brew.

if i hadn’t poured it into a glass it might have been better. first impression was of a decent Belgian knockoff, the clove aromas were there along with the citrus, but as it warmed for a second it had an overwhelming Lemon-Pledge kind of aftertaste, i suggest just drinking it fast.

Location: On tap in Yard House, Lakewood, CO, Fall ’08

Overall Impression: Fruit, white ale, very average in my opinion. Certainly not the type of beer you’d go out of your way for.

This is a good citrusy wheat beer, good flavor. good color decent head. One of my staple go to’s
