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.

Had A Self Serve Celis White aT Zomerlust. That means that you shake it out of the bottle yourself. A whitebeer how pilsbeer should be. Honest, clear and clean recipe. So nice.

On tap @ Max’s BBF as Ertvelds Wit. Pours a cloudy yello color with a small white head. Lemongrass aroma, some coriander. Light mouthfeel, grassy citrus taste. Meh.

Cloudly off yellow hue with a decent creamy white head. Fresh, crisp citrussy and wheaty nose. This follow through to the flavour which is wheaty and orangey with a crisp off dry finish.

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dirty yellow color ale with a large pure white foamy head with great retention and good lacing. Aroma of coriander and huge wheat malt notes are very enticing and surprisingly more present then I would have anticipated. Taste is an incredible mix between some coriander with loads of wheat malt with light bubble gum notes and a zesty and citrus finish. Full body with limited filtration and great carbonation. I must admit to being totally surprised by this one; it has some much more character then I would have anticipated and a great balance between all ingredient. Definitively one of the most underrated beer I had a chance to taste recently.

Wow! What a story behind this little beer! Dirty grey-yellow appearance. Very cloudy with a dense white head. Perfumey herbal aroma-- lavender and bergamot come to mind. Light mouthfeel with a perfumey and lightly soapy character and a tart finish. Interesting and quite nice.

Bottle @ Take One. Hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma of butter, citrus (sour), wheat. Flavour is buttery, citric, wheaty and a soft sweetness. Didn’t like the butter notes, mouthfeel is nice, although a bit watery.

Draught. Yellow and hazy with a white head. Aroma is fruity with notes of orange candy and yeast. The flavour is sourish with notes of orange, bitter orange and yeast. I found this to be a bit to sourish.
