Avery White Rascal

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

12oz. bottle: This one pours a bit fizzy. It creates a small white head that goes away rapidly. The beer pours a cloudy straw yellow color. There are hints of corriander and orange to the nose. Also a hint of breadiness. It is quite tasty. It is a medium wheat body, with reserved tastes of coriander and orange. A twinge of sourness to the finish. Quite refreshing. Thanks, Jay

Rather typical witbier aroma, some lemony citrus, coriander, herbal spice, orange peel and juicy sweetness. Hazy, pale yellow color, with a lasting, creamy head. Wheat malt and citrus up front, followed by a mild burst of spiciness and hop flavor, with a yeasty, fruity and quite zippy finish. Not a bad Wit.

Straw colored brew with a big bubbly white head. Spicy,yeasty nose. Crisp wheat bite with some lingering spiciness. Light bodied, this would make a nice summer session brew.

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.

Great choice this very hot day. Poured nice and white/golden with a lightly yeasty aroma. Yeast is forefront with a cooling coriander fruitiness I immediately picked up on. Nothing revolutionary here by any means, been there done that, but still a very solid beer that made for a great quencher.

Hazy straw yellow body under a thick white head - great lacing! Full, rich aroma: yeast, bit of phenols, damp hay, and a central malt sweetness. Light fluffy mouthfeel, sort of like eating egg nog foam. Sweet wheat malt, lemon peel and light coriander in the flavor. Very light and delicate.

Very pale cloudy yellow out of the bottle with a lasting, whispy white film for a head. Light body and very easy to drink. Nice coriander spice with more citrus and berry flavors than I expected. Not a great witbier, but a very enjoyable drink.

Cloudy yellow looks almost juice like. The head is dense, and meringue like with good retention. The aroma is very wheaty, but seems low on the spicing. A good bit of phenol. The flavor seems more hefeweizen than witbier, although wheat in the banana esters. Soft, full mouthfeel. Good wheat beer, weak witbier.
