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.

Tap. Nice lacing on the head, typical hazy wit body. Smell focuses on lemon and citrus. Taste leans towards sweet, lemon, grapefruit, and less clove than others. Very clean and refreshing. A great beer that comes close but cant quite topple its older brother.

On tap at Toronado. This cloudy white beer poured with a decent white head and a citrus aroma. There is a slightly sour yeasty flavor with trailing spices, the usual coriander and orange peel. This is a good witbier, if you happen to like that style.

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.
