Avery Brewing Company White Rascal
What the brewers say
“A truly authentic Belgian-style wheat or ‘white’ ale, this Rascal is unfiltered (yup, that’s yeast on the bottom) and cleverly spiced with coriander and curaçao orange peel producing a refreshingly zesty classic ale.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Nice citrus fruit character with some spicy notes to add complexity. Light wheat sweetness accompanied by hints of floral coriander and lemon zest.”
Flavor: “Nice sweet lemon citrus, earthy and pepper notes come through with medium malt sweetness. A very faint carbonic twang, but not terribly complex. Spices are subdued. Very nice balance of body and a crisp, refreshing finish.”
Overall: “Refreshing and crisp wit. Nice citrus sweetness is profiled in a beer that is solid, but without too much to differentiate it from the crowd. A great example of the style.”
