Commercial Description:
Unfiltered in bottle and keg.
Pierre Celis created the original Hoegaarden beer in the early 1960’s. Interbrew-Labatt bought the brand and the brewery in the 1980's. Pierre Celis formed a new brewery in Austin Texas, brewing the same beer but under the brand name Celis White. Miller bought the Celis brewery and the Celis White brand-name in 1996. The brewery closed in 2000. In late 2002 Michigan Brewing bought the Celis White brand from Miller. Brouwerij Van Steenberge is now brewing the original Pierre Celis White under the brand-name Celis White in Europe and Ertveld's Wit in North America.

Bottle. Hazy yellow colour with a big white head. Spicy fruity wheat aroma with some hints of coriander. Fruity malty flavor with hints of yeast and coriander. Long aftertaste of coriander.

Draught at Old Bricks Inn, Jyväskylä. Hazy yellow-brown color with thick head. The aroma is fruity, acidic and spicy with coriander. Soft and full on the palate, very good balance between graininess, spiciness and acidity. Finishes with tickling spiciness. Previously I haven’t valued this beer so much, but now it was very tasty!

On draft at Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. A nice and spice wit with lots of coriander. Pours a cloudy yellow color with a big white head, that disappears quickly. Taste is citrus and a lot of coriander.

Draught at Den Tatoverede Enke, RBESG Pub Crawl, August 2005. Hazy yellow colour, as expected. Odd aroma. I picked up some sweaty socks as well the usual spicy wheat. Also noted some diacetyl. Which is odd as, looking at others ratings at the same time, nobody else seems to have picked that up. Frankly I thought there was something wrong with it. Or perhaps after the excesses of the RBESG tasting the night before something strange had happened to my tastebuds. Anyway, o the day, I wasn’t impressed at all.

Bottle from Dorstvlegel, Antwerp. Cloudy green gold colour with thin white head. Slightly sour, lemon, herb, sour/stale aroma. Better in mouth though. In fact wonderful in mouth and finish. Mouth feel is astonishing, lemon and spice are stunning. Fun beer and puts a smile on your face.

A drinkable, but ultimately unremarkable witbier. Notes of orange and spice on the nose and in the beer. Your standard wit.

Poured a light cloudy yellow with a big white head, light aroma of citrus and sourness, flavor is light, hint of citrus, very little spice, slightly watery. Not as good as the other Celis whites.

Pours very very light with a big white head. Aroma is very fruity with a strong corriander presence. Mouthfeel is thin, but bubbly. Flavors are fruity and smooth. A very good beer for a hot summer day. Way too easy to keep on drinking them.
