La Célisette

Brewed by Les 3 Fourquets
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Gouvy, Belgium

Labelled as LES 3 FOURQUETS... Draft, tapped 2 days earlier at The Drafting Room in Exton PA. Supposedly there are only 50 or less kegs of this stuff shipped annually to the USA. My lucky night. Awesome. Deceiving looking, with a murky off-white color. A complex bouquet and flavor - redolent of yeast, palate subtley sweet & fresh. The experience + satisfaction of drinking this rare White was greatly appreciated.

Draught, at Antwerp’s Bierpassion weekend. Hazy yellow to light orange colour with a large white head. Little sweet yeasty aroma, some citrus hints. Ful body, quiet strong for a white beer (is it??) Nice balanced finish, somewhat alcoholic.

An unclear light orange beer with a nice light orange head. The aroma is sweet and very wheaty, but also with some notes of yeast and oranges. The flavor is sweet with notes of oranges, coriander, peach, and alcohol, leading to a dry wheaty end. It has a nice body. I like the present Hoegaarden Grand Cru better than this.

Draught at Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Hazy yellow coloured. Yeast, toffee and yoghurt in the aroma. Sweet and sour flavour of yoghurt and yeast.

Draft. Hazy yellow coloured with a lasting white head. Fruity aroma with notes of spices and citrus. Fruity flavour of spices citrus and hops. Very good witbier, tastes more like an abbey tripel than a witbier.

Draught: A full-bodied, flavorful beer, this beautiful offering scored with me right from the start. Packing a gorgeous aroma and a massive appeal to the buds, I found myself craving a refill as soon as my glass stood empty. In my view vastly superior to Hoegaarden’s Grand Cru and quite addictive to boot.

Draft, In de Wildeman. Hazy yellow color, medium head. Aroma of hop, bit sour, some hay and citrus. Taste is not as banana like as a true belgian white, and the recreation of the Hoegaarden Grand Cru is also not a succesfull description. It is somewhat in between a Grand Cru and a La Chouffe, at least that’s how I would remember this brew.

It’s a gods gift this beer. The aroma’s in the nose are grass/hay like, the colour is like a Belgian White but more crisp, the palate is fruity and able to concour even sharp tones of chorizo, and the aftertaste lingers on and on with very subtile bitters. A must for every beerlover.
