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.

Spicy nose, cloyingly sweet and yeasty. Hazy yellow body, small white head. Yeasty flavor, quite sourish.

Bottled as Gensch Mannekes Pies. Yellow coloured with a small white head. Acidic aroma of lactic acid and fruits. Acidic flavour of corn and fruits. Boring.

Draught as Celis White
Pale lemon yellow, small creamy white head. Yeasty, wheat aroma. Also in the flavor sweetish yeast dominates. Medium-bodied. Crisp, uninteresting "bulk" witbier.

A beer with almost no body. A citrus-like flavour, but there are better Belgian white beers available. This is indeed a very quenching beer. (Bottle 25cl)

What a mess. RateBeer says ’Ertvelds Wit’. The label says ’Gensch Mannekes Pies’. And if you peel it off, there’s another label underneath which says ’Celis White’. Ahm... 25 cl bottle, bottled/bbe? Very pale, straw coloured, little sparkle, weak head leaving fine lace. Spiced aroma, citrus peel, but also some a bit weird spiciness which is also present in de Witte Lambiek of Timmermans; there’s malt in the nose, too. Lemony and sourish flavour with a gentle hop finish. Thin palate.

Too bad Celis left Texas... Pours a rich, cloudy gold. Hints of orange and lemon in the nose, and the taste is an extension, with a smidgen of malt thrown in. Mouthfeel is lush, and seems to coat the mouth. A very enjoyable beer.

(Bottle 25 cl) Paleish yellow, with a very white, rather small head. Nice citrusy touches and a soft tartness. But nice and rounded with lots of flavours. Almost no body and no bitternes either. But quenching indeed. 181096

(Bottle 25 cl) As "Gensch Mannekes Pies" 4/2/5/2/9=2,2 291005
