Review - Avery Brewing Company's White Rascal
"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." -- Avery Brewing
The White Rascal pours a cloudy light yellow color, settling into a medium hazy yellow body. The body also contained many floating yeast particles. The medium fizzy white head was fully diminishing and had sticky lacing. The nose detected a strong yeast presence with hints of lemon and banana. This is a very inviting beer and is making my palate moist. The initial acidic taste was quickly followed by a faint sweet taste for an average duration. Soft carbonation, light to medium in body along with a light creamy texture, this isn't like a typical Wheat ale. The citrus taste wasn't as strong as I expected from the citrus aromatic presence. It's not as strong in flavor as the Harpoon UFO, but it's mild taste is appealing to the palate.
