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.

Nice wheat beer, with the classic notes of citrus and coriander. Color is light yellow, with a hint of brown in it. Overall a great beer..

Strong coriander spiciness mated with tart, creamy wheat in the aroma. Opaque yellow-straw coloured body with decent and lasting white head. Tart wheat flavour offers notes of vanilla with coriander emerging in the lightly bitter finish. Light-medium body with crisp, refreshing carbonation. Bottle sampled at Den Tatoverede Enke in Copenhagen.

Averaga white and diminishing head, the body is cloudy and the colour is light yellow. Hoppy aroma, herbs, koriander some orange and lemon. Rather thin, light sweet taste, little bit of an metallic palate, light dry astringent finish. I had better white’s.

Hazy straw colored with a nice aroma. Flavour is light and doesn’t quite live up to the aroma but it’s still solid and has a good wheatyness to it.

Draught at Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen, as Celis Wit. Lovely aroma of burnt caramel / treacle and spices. Flavour is not nearly that exciting, this is a fairly watery and bland wit.

Smells like herbs and candy. Odd flavor. Tastes like French nougat! Not particularly pleasant but unique.
