Avery White Rascal

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

Hazy straw color,small white head that had a good hang time then faded slowly to leave a slight lace behind.The aroma was citrusy with a nice spicy side and a decent wheat showing.Citrusy spicy flavor with a slight yeasty side,very nice brew again from these guys and this would definately make a nice summer brew.

bottle: Im with jcalabre here-im the minority!! this is a fantastic wit, almost on par with hoogarden! the appearance of cloudy yellow straw, aroma full of sweetness-citrus oranges, clove, corrander-flavor was a well balance of belgian yeast, wheat, straw, orange peal, a touch of pepper? palate was nice, zesty with a nice tingle on the tounge-another GREAT Avery brew!!!

Draft at Down Town Johnny Brown’s. Expected wit appearance. Cirtrus and some spice on the aromas. More so on the flavor. Pretty good, refreshing, less of the wheat twang I dislike in this style.

A really nice beer overall. And it stuck out quite a bit which was nice, considering i had a bunch of belgian wits this past week. Bright hazey golden colour with a fluffy white top. Noticeable tropical fruits and spices right away on the nose. Taste was typical but still pleasent. Spicey and creamy with generous amounts of fruit.

Yellow and cloudy with a nice head. Nice light citrusy flavors present. Good all around with a pleasurable taste and aroma. Nice light beer to be a good thirst quencher.

1st rating (bottle) Sparkly yellow champagne appearance. Highly carbonated though the head evaporates quickly. Piquant yeasty aroma with a prickly pleasant mouthfeel, but flavor underdelivers. Light-medium bodied with prickly peripheral yeastiness and a mild sour finish. 2nd rating (tap). What a difference on tap makes! My final rating will be an average of both ratings as there was such a profound difference between tap and bottled versions. The tap version champagne white/blonde, with piquant coriander, zesty citrus, almost lemony, yeast springing into the nose. Piquant, smooth, and relatively light bodied, but flavorful and giving the impression of a higher ABV than you would expect. Perfect on the palate and an American Style Belgian Witt that would be hard to top in the states.

Hazy light gold, pretty, thick creamy head. Nose nicely spicy, some lemon, some yeasts. Very good witbier flavor, zippy and spicy, clove and lemon, good stuff. Nice hop bite at the end. Full and creamy.

maybe my bottle was skunked or something but this beer was not good in my book. i’ll have to have another shot at it another time. so forgive the low score it’ll change.
