HOPIQ TAKE

Avery White Rascal if you want a witbier with more presence and grip, PBN Blancheazzuro if you want something lighter and more delicate. The 0.8% ABV difference sounds trivial until it hits—Avery's got this fuller mouthfeel that actually lets the spice and citrus peel land harder on your palate. Both sit at the same IBU floor, so bitterness isn't the variable; it's the body and how much wheat backbone you're after. If you're drinking one cold on a hot day, Blancheazzuro vanishes faster. If you want something that sticks around, Avery stays put.

TASTING NOTES

Avery White Rascal

WheatCitrusyCoriander

Avery White Rascal has this almost creamy texture that you don't expect from a witbier—the wheat and oats really show up in the mouthfeel. Coriander and orange peel come through clear but not shrill, and there's a subtle herbal hush underneath that keeps it from ever feeling saccharine. The finish has a tiny grainy dryness that makes you want another sip. It's the kind of beer that tastes like the brewer knew exactly what they were doing.

PBN Blancheazzuro

WheatRefreshingCoriander

PBN Blancheazzuro is ethereal in a way that feels almost intentional—super clean, bright citrus, maybe more lemon than orange compared to Avery. The spice is whisper-thin, which actually works; nothing competes for attention. It drinks like air with a faint herbal suggestion, and that lower ABV becomes a feature, not a limitation. There's a transparency here that lets you taste the water almost, in the best way. It's a witbier that doesn't demand anything from you.
