Avery White Rascal Witbier


Drinking from a can, and looking at notes from a bottle. I think this was back in December, 2003:

Very pale yellow color, yearning toward white, with a beautiful head, pure head, fresh and frothy head.

The nose is everything I'd expect from a witbier, or any decent imitation, alert, spicy, citric, a touch dry, some lemon, a show of orange, and overall, inviting and appetizing.

Taste: decent hops at first, nice wheat texture, very light in body, and extraordinarily drinkable. I could kill a ton of these in the summertime. (I can only admire that attribute now as the snow falls!)
 It's lightness and smoothness is it's perfection, a bit more lemon than orange in the flavor, very thirst-quenching and full of zing!
