Colorado's Belgian White
Avery Brewing has been brewing in Boulder since 1993, when Adam Avery and his father Larry founded it, and White Rascal is its flagship love letter to Belgium: a wheat-based white ale, unfiltered, hazed by its yeast and lifted by orange peel and coriander, its "rascal" a nod to Belgian folklore. It is also a decorated one — Avery's official site lists it as a Gold Medal winner at GABF 2023 and at the World Beer Cup in 2018 and 2023, with GABF silvers in 2012 and 2015. Find it in our craft beer range, browse the wider beer shelf, or visit the Avery Brewing vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Coriander spice and orange peel over soft wheat — the official descriptors are Refreshing / Orange Peel / Coriander. Palate: Light, bright and zesty, a refreshingly classic witbier. Finish: Crisp and clean — a warm-weather white ale.
How to Enjoy
Serve cold in a tall glass; an orange slice garnish echoes the Curacao peel in the brew. It pairs beautifully with mussels, Thai food, and brunch dishes.
