Avery White Rascal

Draft. Beautiful yellow. Decent head that went away quickly. Light taste - not quite complex enough. Nice beer to have n early spring.

Hazy yellow hue, with an off-white head, yeasty, wheaty, spicy nose of coriander spiciness, juicy lemony, citrus fruitiness, with some curaçao notes, faint floral hop in the aroma follows through on a medium-bodied palate with a yeasty, crisp zesty citrusy, wheat malt character, with an orange peel accent, grapefruit and lemon fruitiness, with a spicy coriander note, leading towards a lemony acidic, hop bittering finish.

Bottle: Pours a hazy yellow with a large white head and sticky lacing. Nose is a bit of citrus, cloves, yeast, and sweets. Taste begins with the hints of spice, most noticable is coriander with some cloves. Some citrus notes, lemon, and malts. Overall, a nice witbier.

Dulled lemon pour with a bright white head the pretty much sticks around. Honey wheat, grassy hops, fresh bread, earthy yeast and sweet orange peel make up the fantastic nose. Softly carbed and full bodied is a good combo for the style. The coriander and wheat are in balance with the fruity esthers kicked up by the yeast, but unfortunately the body thins out into a watery finish. A bit more meat would be welcome. Good stuff anyways.

Bottle. Pale, pale straw. This beer is almost white. A slow careful pour leaves a modes white head and a clear beer. Wheat and yeast dominate the aroma, with the wheat smelling a bit raw. Light and spicy, with wheat dominating the flavor as well. This beer tastes about like it smells.

Cold 12oz bottle: Pours a hazy straw color with floating sediment and a small alabaster head that reduces to a fair ring around the edges. Light malts, sharp yeast, coriander and citrus. Thin bodied and smooth with playful carbonation. Ending is watery with some malt flavor.

This beer has no color. The flavor was very weak, almost none. I would drink Bud Light before I would try this again. A total dissappointment from Avery.

12 oz. Bottle poured. I picked the beer up on a whim to try to new things. After reading the reviews I was excited to try it, but ultimately disappointed. Not to say its a bad beer, but its nothing special by any means. The appearance is that of pineapple juice; yellowish in color, cloudy, little if any particles. The head was foamy, lasting, quick to return with any disturbance to the beer. Cloves are the dominant scent along with oranges and white wine. Every scent is very light, including slight cookie and doughy notes. If I could describe this beer in a word, it would be "Light." There is virtually no finish and little taste. On a hot summer day I wouldn’t mind this beer sitting on the porch, but I would still take a Corona out on the boat.
