Avery White Rascal

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

I thought that I was sitting in Hoegaarden with one of their own. This is a really tasty, thirst-quenching beer, that has a great aroma, and a really clean finish. Ahhh summertime!

A cloudy pale yellow with notes of citrus, apples, coriander and barley. A very light beer with hints of coriander and citrus. There is slight acidic mouthfeel and the finish has a moderate duration.

bottle - Pours cloudy yellow with a very thin head. It has a citrus aroma led by oranges. This brew tastes sweet, but not overly so, and the orange peels are very noticeable. In my opinion they’re a bit overdone. It’s light and refreshing as a wit typically is and while enjoyable, could be better.

Poured from bottle...beautiful cloudy/milky yellow color. Very nice white head...wonderful complex mix of aromas, spice and citrus...Just the right amount of bitterness...fades into nice mouth feel...This is sweet, but not too sweet...good job and a fine beer.

A very nice Belgian White-zesty and tasty. Orange peel, wheat and coriander-like you’d expect but deftly balanced. Sweet, peppery and drinkable. Good job, Avery.

Actually my aroma ranking is weak because it was almost non existent. However this beer more than made up for it the rest of the way. A surprise for an unfiltered beer this was very smooth and the word that would best describe it was creamy. I kept looking to see if it was really beer. It was smooth had a great taste that stayed good in your mouth after swallowing. This also tasted like it would be a great beer in the summer as a thirst quencher without being filling. Overall I am in PA and I do not think too many beers travel well but this was worth the try. I WILL be drinking this again!

Pours a cloudy straw color with a moderate white head. Aroma is rather funky with some grass, cloves, a light meatiness, stale bread, maybe the lightest rotten fruit (but just enough). Taste is pretty much what you’d expect. Bready grassy flavor, a clove/yeast spice, some light lemon, finishes lightly earthy slightly dry, but very gentle. Creamy texture and light-bodied, but not lacking for the style. High-carbonated, but not offensive. The yeast qualities in this beer make it pretty significant and I’d say it’s Avery’s best attempt at brewing a Belgian style. Still, it’s just an adequate wheat beer at heart.

12 oz bottle. Poured a hazy yellow with an average size foamy white head. Aroma is wheat, grass, coriander and some citrus fruits. Flavor is smooth and refreshing and this was a nice choice for a day baking in the sun at the golf outing.
