HOPIQ TAKE

Avery White Rascal if you want a witbier with more backbone and presence, Blanche de Chambly if you want something lighter and more delicate. Both sit at identical IBU 12, but that extra 0.6% ABV in White Rascal translates to noticeably more body and grip on the palate—it feels more substantial without being heavy. Blanche de Chambly floats a bit easier, letting the spice and citrus do more of the talking. Neither is "better," but they're aiming at slightly different moments.

TASTING NOTES

Avery White Rascal

WheatCitrusyCoriander

White Rascal hits you with immediate wheat presence—creamy, almost pillowy mouthfeel that sticks around. The coriander and orange peel are there, but they're not the main character; they're supporting players to that full grain body. There's a subtle sweetness that doesn't cloy, and a slight peppery finish that lingers. It drinks like a witbier that's eaten a full breakfast.

Blanche de Chambly

WheatCitrusyCoriander

Blanche de Chambly is more ethereal—you get those classic witbier notes (coriander, subtle citrus, a whisper of banana) right up front, and they dissipate cleanly. It's got that characteristic hazy-golden look, but the texture is noticeably lighter, almost silky. The finish is dry and snappy, with spice lingering just enough to keep things interesting without overstaying its welcome.
