Avery Brewing Co - White RascalBelgian Wits are great summer-time beers. Light, slightly spicy, slight citrus; refreshing. Avery’s “White Rascal” has been one of my favorite Wits since I first had it on tap two years ago. If you can find it on tap, stop thinking and start ordering! This guy is unfiltered, meaning there is some yeast in the bottom that is extra tasty. The scent from this is slightly citrus and crisp. It has a moderate level of carbonation, which thickens the mouth feel. Even with that, this is a smooth, thin-tasting beer. Which means it’s easy to drink. It never really gets sweet, and you get more of the citrus peel mid-gulp, along with a little bit of some unknown spice (coriander). It’s got a crisp, quick finish that is ever so slightly bitter/citrus/sour, but not in a bad way. In a great way!
