Avery White Rascal

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

Full of coriander flavor, a hint of orange and rubber.
Yeasty bread, sweet malt - Very crisp and smooth - great summertime beer.

Pours hazy yellow with a 3 finger foamy white head that has decent retention. Aroma is lemon, spices wheat and orange peel. Flavor is sweet yeasty bread rolls, orange marmalade, fresh wheat bread, spices and peppery yeast. A good witbier.

Poured a hazy yellow, resembled the urine of a well hydrated mid-thirties male, with head resembling the foam created by the urinal cake. Smells strongly of coriander. Tastes like your standard wit beer kicked up with a ton of orange peel and spices. a little white pepper, and well carbonated. As far as wit beers go, this one is not that great, but the nice flavors, light body, and citrus finish makes this a great session beer.

Without out the yeast disturbed pours a light yellow otherwise cloudy with a stagnant frothy white head. Can smell the coriander, orange, and other spices. Flavor a par lower than the aromas consisting of a light sweetness, with hints of orange, coriander, wheat, and other spice. Bitter end, crisp and refreshing on a hot summers day.

I don’t know why I continue to try the witbier style, because I know I don’t care for it. But I do it anyway. Just like the others, I didn’t care for this offering either. The beer poured a cloudy and pale light yellow color with a big white head. There was plenty of lacing around the glass. The aroma was very unpleasant, with a sour tone of fruits, yeast, and outdated vegetables. The body was light and refreshing, but the flavors were unpalatable. There were notes of coriander, orange, tomato and yeast. This was a very unpleasant and unenjoyable beer. I would not have even sampled this, but a friend of mine at the bar offered me a taste of his. Recluntantly I tired it, but wish I hadn’t.

Pours pale yellow with a medium foamy white head. Aroma is orange peel and sweet wheat malt. Flavoir is light wheat spice and citrus tones. Fairly light body, and a slightly grainy finish.

Sample, from BeerFest in CT. Pours blonde with a mid-sized white head. Aroma of wheat, soft coriander, and malt. Mouthfeel is nice and crisp, very refreshing but still with some more “grainy” substance than a pilsner or pale lager. Flavors linger on wheat and spice, mild clove is apparent. Finish is clean, leaving only a trace of sweetness and wheat. Good.

From the tap poured a light hazy amber color with a small head. Light citrusy flavor with a quick finish.
