Avery White Rascal

Bottle:Cloudy, dull yellow color. Whe it is being poured it actually looks white. There is a small fizzy white head. I hate the aroma on these witbiers - it smells like a bunch of egg farts got stuck in a rubber factory. You can definitely taste the coriander in the flavor but not the orange peel as much - maybe in the aftertaste??? I just don’t prefer this style. I feel like I walked into a tire store and started licking the tires. Still, it’s from a quality brewery, so it gets and extra point. Thanks Indiana Red.

Bottle pours a cloudy, white/very pale yellow. Small short lived white head but fine and remarkebly lasting lacing. That classic belgian wit aroma, funkt\y and spicy. Flavor is similar. That crazy Curacao orange peel gives it away. So obvious. Works well though. Thin light feel and lively carbonation. A decent example of a style I cant get into.

Color is unusually white and the aroma is thin. However, the flavor really jumps out. It is full of lemon, orange, and coriander. Delicious! The flavor doesn’t quite hold up as it warms but this is a great wit. It is crisp and clean and leaves you wanting more.

Pours a very light fizzy yellow (looks like fresca) with a thick white head. Aroma is very yeasty with some lemon and orange peel nose. Flavor mostly consist of yeast, also notes of fruit, citrus and mandarin. Not too bad.

Sampled from 12 oz bottle on 10/25/2006 at the Junedale Beer Klub meeting... Pale gold color. No head. Light wheat and citrus flavor. Some spiciness as well. Fizzy and a bit thin. Need to revisit in the future...

Back to back with the Unibroue example, this is a bit better in my book. The aroma was much fruitier and very yeasty. Flavor of coriander and orange is well blended with the yeast character.

12oz bottle: Pours a golden yellow color, slightly cloudy. Smallish head, white, lasting. Citrusy hoppy aroma. Medium-strongish aroma. Fizzy strong citrus taste, hops. Clean aftertaste-fresh tasting. Watery light taste.

I am a big fan of witbier’s, and this is certainly an excellent choice for a midrange witbear. It smells of citrus herb and tastes like many witbiers, with a hint of fruit. Nothing spectacular though.
