Another wit, what a treat! I have to admit I was quite impressed by White Rascal's appearance: very pale yellow with a thin white head, the ale looked like the signature of refreshment. But, as the librarians and cantankerous scribes tell us, do not judge a beer by its hue! The flavor was overwhelmed by coriander, making the wheat and orange peel accents an afterthought. I prefer a yeastier, wheatier witbier with just a touch of spice. If Avery toned down the spice, this could become a classic.

Very dark chestnut with red shine. Slight, light-brown head. Nose of grapes, raisins, vineous and hops. With warming up, there follows a smell of kaffirlime (peel, as in Thai cuisine). Taste are grapes, tobacco, some bitter chocolate,and lots of hops, but well balanced with dark malts. Very chewy mouthfeel. Retronasal gives nice tobacco-and-hops, long, but after a quite long time, a new impression of sweet chocolate emerges. What impresses me most in this beer is its very succeeded balance.

Colour: yellow with gold-copper shine throughout, hints of Chablislike green; thick white, luxurious head but disappearing rather fast. Nose: full-hoppy aroma, not metallic or overpowering, slight wet cardboard taint, also DMS (?) Taste: Amazingly nice hoppy taste, much more flavour than real bitter taste; hops seem more UK than USA character. Aftertaste: retronasal aromas of cypress, crisp finish. each gulp gives renewed helping of fresh hops, always with this cypresslike flavouring. Hops keep lingering at the tonguesides. This beer is in many aspects an epitomizing of American IPA, were it not for the character of the hops. Very drinkable for all its hoppiness.

Huge thick brown head. Roasted nose. Toasty dry malt flavor with medium bitter finish. Great Belgian lace. Thin bodied

Black,lasting tan head. Roasted malt nose. Dry roasted malt flavor. Decently hopped

Golden coloured beer if i've ever seen golden, with a dense white head. Smells of citrus, sweet pineapple and very fragrant hops. A very nice aroma, and definately mouth-watering. Piney in the hops and sweet with the malt. Medium-bodied; The tates lasts for a long-time and the hops are the primary flavour (which they should be). Aftertaste full of the piney hops and bitter the mouth...a real treat for Hop-heads like me! Overall one of the better American IPAs. Pick one up if you can find it! Even though i've had this beer before, I still enjoy posting new reviews for the same beer. I bougtht this single 12 ounce bottle at Chevy Chase Wines & Spirits in Washington, D.C. I sampled this beer on 30-August-2003. Rating for this tasting: 9,4,9,4,16. Previous Tasting:
