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, courtesy Tony at Oldsmar Tap House. Pours a hazy straw yellow color, with lots of cloudy white head and tons of lacing. Coriander, peach, apricot, clean zest, chalk..all in the nose. Flavor has much of the same, and better. Coriander, zest, lemony notes, peach, some chalk, lots of hay and wheat. Spicy on the tongue, easy to drink, a good representation of the style.

Pale hazy yellow with a creamy and lasting white head. Coriander and clove in the aroma, with some grain and bread notes. Dry with coriander flavour and a hint of citrus. Hardly surprising, this is a wonderful wit. I wasn’t so satisfied last I had a Hoegaarden.

Bottle. Very strong smell of citrus, flowery, moderate sweet. Very refreshing smell. Small white foamy head, fast and fully diminishing. A clear yellow body. Light acidic taste, short duration. Light body, dry and watery texture, lively carbonation. A good beer for the summer.

Bottle (33 cl) from Systembolaget. Wonderful cloudy glowing pale milky yellow colour, with a large and rich creamy head. Spicy, fruity, and sourish with clear lemon notes. Light to medium bodied, good carbonation. Quite dry, and a little too much acidic for this kind of beer i.m.o.
