White Rascal (Avery)

This Belgian white was a change from the stronger Averys that I'm used to. I got a six pack of this wheat to help combat the winter blahs.

General Thoughts

Look and Smell: The white foam was gone after a little bit. The smell is wheat and lemon pith. This was a straw-colored beer. I wouldn't call it gold or yellow. It's almost white in certain light. You get the cloud swirls from the wheat sediment, but it is almost translucent. This gave me a bad first impression. I was thinking it would be flavorless and watery. 

Taste: The taste was smooth. It was a mellow wheat. Not watery at all. You get an acidic hit after a beat, but it fades fast leaving you with an almost creamy feel. It has little aftertaste. It was nice and light, not flavorless and bland.

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 Curacao orange peel producing a refreshingly fruity thirst quencher.
