This traditional witbier has been developed under supervision of the father of Hoegaarden and Celis White, master brewer Pierre Celis. This beer has been bottle-refermented, which lent it its specific taste.

Pours a very caramel color with a pure white foam. Aroma of pear was most evident to me. Good carbonation and no bite. Very refreshing...tasted like Hoegaarden’s less intense brother-in-law. An excellent beer and one I will continue to search out.

33 cl bottle, ’bbe’ Aug 07. Dark blond, fine but dense turbidity. Timid head. Nose of grain, yeast, flower meadow. Grainy taste with a good touch of caramel, even honey; very light acidity in the background. A tiny bit spicy. Some higher esters retronasally, no bitterness. Smooth, medium body - a bit sticky.

Bottle. Hazy golden color. Thin white head. Citrus aroma. Crisp flavor of lemon zest. Creamy texture. light fizz, from the bottling no less. Fun Breakfast Beer... Lots going on in this one!

Bottle - Pale golden color with small white head that diminished quickly. Aroma of citrus, citrus peel, wheat. Smooth flavorful white beer, smooth finish, not too watery though. Try this beer with desserts.

I had high hopes for this beer, and was not disappointed. Nice citrus smell, and a nice murky color showing off the bottle-refermentation. Flavor is light, but distinct. A little thin on the palette (normal for white’s) and no bitterness in the aftertaste, nice. Not the best white beer in the world, but definately one worth drinking over, and over, and over again. Cheers.

Bottle. Pours a very pale color with a medium sized white head. Aroma of orange peel. Has a nice creamy mouth feel and a smooth, light taste. Lacks strong flavors but is very refreshing. A nice white beer.

bottle: Golden color, nice and cloudy. huge white head. Not very imprssive though, seemed wattery, and think, nothing much going on, overall, disapointed.

Bottle. Golden, unclear with small white dish-water like head. Brown sediment poured on top of head. Fresh aroma of chamomile, pepper and lemon rind. Flavor is refreshing and quite tart but with something faint in the background indicating a small fermentation error. Smooth mouth feel without the prickly mouth feel normally found in Belgian white ales. No aftertaste. An OK Belgian white, with refreshing qualities. However I would have liked more coriander and less citrus - but then again I’m a coriander-head.
