Avery White Rascal

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

From a 12 oz bottle that cost me 9.69 a six pack at BevMo this poured a hazy yellow with a billowing white head and decent lacing. Nose of banana and citrus, with a smooth light mouthfeel. Flavor is the same banana and citrus, mostly lemon, and the finish is dry. OK for its type.

Very bland in general. Aroma and flavor had nothing going. No fruit, spice nothing. dissapointed.

Bottle from Beer Depot- Pours foggy, cloudy, pastel yellow. Fruity banana aromas with apples, cloves, and a suprising amount of american hops in the nose. Taste is sharp banana and clove, sweet fruit, bread, with a good dose again of american hops. Spiced finish. Thanks Jadoreblanche!

A pretty straight-forward, by the numbers witbier, but very tasty. The body of the beer is a cloudy golden-yellow with a brilliant white foamy head. Light coriander and sweet oranges in the aroma. Flavor has some nice citrus/orange notes going, light wheat with a slightly spicy finish. Nice and refreshing.

Bottle at the Fox & Parrot. Pours hazy gold with no real head. The aroma sports some clean cut spiciness in the way of cloves with a pleasant orange/lemon tang to it. The palate is light and suits the style well. I get solid cloves, a husky bitterness, lemons, orange. . .this is a solid Wit. I would drink one of these on a hot summer day and not feel bad about it at all. It aims to quench the thirst while still providing adequate complexity and cleanliness.

I bought this $1.50 beer at HiTime Wine Cellar about 3months ago for a Belgian trade, because the guy wanted it, but then we agreed to swap it out for something more valuable with limited bottle space. I usually avoid buying beers below 3.8, so I’ve been reluctant to try it and it was sitting in my fridge all this time. Well I think I should clean some of these 3.2 beers out of my fridge and here I am tasting this one. Pours light cloudy yellow. A small amount of yeast sediment in the bottle. Fluffy huge bubble head fades quickly to no head and a few medium bubbles. Nice carbonation in the liquid though. Lots of banana and corriander in the aroma characteristic of a traditional Hefe yeast. I guess it is not a true Hefeweizen with the corriander addition, but maybe it’s standard in Belgian wits. Lots of bandaid aroma reminiscent of Bells 8000. Maybe the bandaid aroma is a combination of banana and corriander. Hmm. High drinkability. Mild.

12oz bottle from Total Wine Tampa. Pours a cloudy yellow with thin white head. Little to no lacing from head. Aroma: spice, lemon, clove. Flavor: clove, hops, straw, grass, and orange peel. Slightly watery with notes of bitterness on finish.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow body with decent size head. Aroma is of slight spice, corriander, light fruit. Flavor has a slight cloying spice, white nectarine, slightly sour.
