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.

Draught. Pours cloudy yellow, with pristine white head. Lively citrus aroma, with hop notes. And lively on the palate too, with citrus and some banana predominating, and refreshing with it. A decent white beer.

Pours a hazy gold color with a creamy white head. Aroma is hoppy and fruity with mostly citrus. Flavors are quite bitter, with citrus and some hops. It has a creamy feel, with a sharp bitter lemon finish. Nice and refreshing.

Bottle as shown. Pours a cloudy yellow golden with a medium creamy white head that diminishes quickly leaving decent lacing along the glass. The aroma is yeast, banana, coriander and bubblegum. Thin mouthfeel with a wheat taste with citrus and a nice crisp finish. Very refreshing and easy to drink. A good Wit from BVS.

From a bottle courtesy of a trade with Erik in Indiana. This poured a hazy light butterscotch yellow with a fat white head and good lacing rings. Nose of banana, coriander, and citrus. Nice clean mouthfeel. Good favor same as nose. A really nice witibier.

A Mes rate. Draught at Lowlander.
I was gobsmacked to discover this remained unrated for us. It was one of our routes in to good beer in general and as a result still holds a fairly special place in my heart. A straight forward but well made wit. Fantastic thirst quencher on a hot day. I won’t rattle on you know the drill.
