Island Rascal
Tangy, with citrus and melon notes, this golden Belgian-style wheat ale is made with passion fruit, inspired by Hawaii and built on the lusciousness of the style. It took silver in the Belgian Fruit Beer category at the 2023 Great American Beer Festival, and Avery suggests it for breakfast, the beach and barbecues. Year-round, at 5.4% ABV.

Tasting Notes
AI-generated sensory profile for Island Rascal
Serve cold to preserve the delicate citrus and spice aromas. Too warm and the yeast esters become heavy — too cold and the coriander disappears.
The tall, slender wheat beer glass holds the full 50cl pour and shows off the hazy golden colour. The wide mouth lets citrus and spice aromas drift upward freely.
Best consumed fresh. Citrus and spice notes fade after 3–4 months. Drink within 6 months of packaging.
