Brewing Details

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guideline for Belgian-Style Witbier calls for 4.0 to 5.5 percent ABV, 10 to 17 IBU and 2 to 4 SRM, traditionally bottle conditioned and served cloudy. The published 5.6% ABV and the third party 20 IBU each sit slightly above the guideline ranges.

Research Notes

• The brewery quote ends at the first sentence break reported by the page reader; the full sentence may continue.
• IBU conflict: Wikipedia gives 20 and search snippets attributed 20 to an Avery press release on Brewbound (which returned 403 and was not read), Craft Beer & Brewing reviews 22 and Kroger listings 15 (snippets only, not read). The figure of 20 is used because it was read on a page and matches the press snippet.
• The brewery page lists earlier medals including GABF gold in 2023 and silver in 2012 and 2015.
• Researched 2026-10-13.
• Field pass 2026-10-13: A 2017 review explicitly names Avery White Rascal and transcribes three hop varieties from the brewery website. Its spelling Hersbruker is normalized to Hersbrucker. No dated variant is identified, but continued use in the 2026 batch is unconfirmed; homebrew clone recipes were not used.
• Catalog.beer 2026-10-14: Catalog.beer: White Rascal lists 5.6% ABV, 22 IBU, style "Belgian-Style White (or Wit) / Belgian-Style Wheat" (entry last modified 2026-08-08). Where it differs from the brewery's own published value, the brewery's value stands.
• Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery page says the beer is unfiltered and spiced; no tasting notes beyond that.
