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.

    I’m surprised this one doesn’t rate higher. I really liked it. Pours light gold in color white a white head. Great aroma with the coriander and orange presenting themselves in a fairly subtle manner. The taste is crisp and very pleasant. Until he tasted this one, a friend of mine said that he doesn’t like beer at all. After the white rascal he likes beer. It leaves a great impression.

    I’m going to have to put this up there as one of my favorite beers. As Brian said you can really smell and taste the coriander and orange but it’s not overwhelming by any means. This is lighter than a lot of the Belgians I’ve had, but I think it makes it that much more drinkable.

    Appearance. White Rascal has a nice white frothy head that lingers in the form of a thin layer of foam on the top of your beer until the last drop. It is pale yellow-white in color and cloudy in appearance.

    Smell. The aroma of this beer has the expected Belgian yeast smell but it is slightly subdued. The aroma has a smooth ripe banana smell. It has a hint of citrus and and sweet grains.

    Taste. White Rascal has a light grain-like sweetness that can be described as refreshing. There is just the lightest hint of bitterness and it is enough to balance the light maltiness in the beer. The orange peels come through with a some citrus flavor in the finish.

    Mouthfeel. The mouthfeel is that of a light-bodied beer with just the right amount of carbonation.

    Drinkability. Just like many beers of this style, White Rascal is a very drinkable beer appropriate not only for warm weather but also for a slightly chilly evening.

    Lemon and spice aroma. Sweet malt with spice overtones. Quite a bit of depth for a wheat beer.
