Reviewed from notes.
The appearance was somewhat hazy yet slightly clear yellow colored body with a one finger white foamy head that dies at a nice pace leaving some nice foamy clingy lacing in its wake, carbonation is seen rising at a moderate pace.
The smell was spices (mostly coriander) are up front with a nice backing by the citrus, banana and yeast that gives a nice bready sort of background.
The taste was mainly spicy first, but a nice bready sort of citrus balancing into a crisp flavoring, spicy aftertaste, dry yet crisp finish.
On the palate, it sat light, sessionable - check!, carbonation is slightly sharp but still good for the style and for me.
Overall, great witbier, Good job Avery, as much as I like this one, I’ll be more likely to have this again during the summer months as it shows a lot of nice refreshing qualities that would be better in the summer months.

Large taster from a friendly waitress in Quinn’s Bar, San Diego Sheraton on 17th March 2014. Misty light golden colour with a full white head. The beer is orangey, spicy and watery, glad I didn’t pay for it. I struggle to find anything positive to say about Wit biers in general and tend to leave them alone, even in Belgium on a sunny day. This offering did not change my mind, it is a style I can live without. Nothing wrong with the beer, just not my thing.

Can from CBB, 490 yen or so. Gift to my wife at Nanten-en. Served in a tumbler. It pours a slightly cloudy straw gold pour with a thick foamy head & great lacing. Nice spicy Belgian nose, yeasty fruity lightly spiced with a dash of bubblegum. Medium bodied, spicy at first then fruity but kind of rough around the edges. Decent but could be better. Once it warmed up you get more hints of coriander & some orange zest in the nose & taste. Quite yeasty sweet. Pretty average, I’d rather get a belgian wit made in belgium which can be had more cheaply in Japan.

Another holiday guest fridge leftover - surprised I haven’t rated this, as I am sure I have had it on multiple occasions - anyway - appropriately hazy, but the carbonation is kind of fizzy, creating a rather insignificant lace - soft, wheaty nose, with equal parts sweet and tangy qualities, with an appropriate amount of spice and orange peel - the mouthfeel is a bit sharp (prickly, acidic), but the carbonation is soft at least - flavor is medium sweet, but wit th aforementioned acidity hitting the palate fairly quickly - spices are again fairly appropriate - the sharpness/acidity never really leaves the palate, though, so this is a little rougher than I would like - a lot of good qualities, though - what other readily-available Avery beers haven’t I rated?

On draft at Fresh Craft in Denver. Pours a murky pale yellow gold with a white head. Light citrus nose. Smooth and chewy mouthfeel. Some bubblegum notes in the flavor. Crisp clean finish.

Tap at Fresh Craft, Denver. Poured a hazy light amber with a thin white frothy head. The aroma is yeast and a hint of acid citrus fruit. The flavour is weak acid citrus with a yeast slightly spicy bitter palate.

Draft sampled at Fresh Craft, Denver. Pours cloudy yellow gold with a small off white head. Aroma of yeast, citrus, orange, coriander, light candy. Flavour is light moderate sweet and moderate bitter. Medium bodied with light carbonation.

Not a huge beer. Some light spices here but so faint they are hard to pick out individually. Blonde clear pour with foamy head. Light finish. Can from World of Beers.
