Avery White Rascal

Brewed by Avery Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Boulder, Colorado USA

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

Citrus aroma and flavors combined with coriander and orange peel. Light bodied Wit with thin head and abnormal sized bubbles. Overall crisp, some yeast

Pours hazy pale yellow into a tumbler. White head recedes to coat surface. Banana and clove aromas. Marshmallow upfront turning to a crisp cloved wheat finish.

Foggy on the pour. Smells of fruit. This beer is comparable to the Delirium Tremens only lighter in taste.
