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 0.25 l. Bouhgt Humletorvet, Slagelse. Colour very pale yellow with large white head. Aroma dominated by corianders - no doubts they are there. Taste a bit sweet, fruity - citrus and corianders. Mouthfeel soft.

Sampler on draft at The Raleigh Times. Impressive look for this beer, milky golden yellow with a bone white bouncy creamy head. Nice smell of spice and malts...smells like a Witbier if that makes sense. Taste was smooth, slightly fruity (maybe lemon? citrus?) and refreshing. Considering that this is not my usual style of beer I would drink, I found this to be enjoyable.

Bottle, thanks ekstedt. Light yellow to golden, hazy with white head. Odd aroma with notes of citrus. Refreshing, sour taste. Light mouthfeel. Light carbonation.

Hazy yellow colour, medium white head. Aroma has yeast and citrus. Flavour is sour, with spices and wheat. Forgettable.

12 ounce bottle, a good spicy orange aroma, same taste but not quite as pronounced. Coming from the greator of Hoegaarden I expected better but this still is pretty solid

25 cl bottle, bought at Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg. Hazy yellow orange, fine white head. Aroma is strong, with citrus and spices in front, also wheat and yeast. The flavor is a bit on the sour side with spices, hops and malt; nice, but not what I expected.
