ot too long ago the beer world lost one of its modern icons, Pierre Celis. Pierre, almost singlehandedly, resurrected what is today one of the most popular styles of craft beer..the Belgian Wit or White Beer- a deliciously refreshing wheat beer originally created by Belgian farmers in the middle centuries, whose primary crop was wheat. Today, the style has a generous range-of-flavor and is often infused with a variety of spices, primarily coriander and dried citrus fruits. In keeping true to Mr. Celis’ homeland of Belgium we additionally brew ours with unmalted wheat using a very thorough mash regime. Here’s to you Pierre! (OG 11.9, Belgian Goblet) Editor’s note: We almost named this beer "Ill-Witted". No, not because we have a sick intellect, but because we actually brewed this beer with local wheat from...drum-roll please...Illinois!

Almost clear paleish gold beer, big fluffy white head. Palate is airy, a little dry and has decent carbonation. Light malts. Some floral sweetness, touch of something brett like. Little coriander. More floralness before a light airy finish reveals a touch of orange peel. Not bad.

Bottle consumed at Cropredy, Fairports Annual Reunion Festival 2015 Sat 15th courtesy of Craig. Served into Loz’s pewter tankard so it is quite tricky to determine the colour, Wheaty and also a little flat and watery though I do think that the pewter kills any carbonation. Not great.

~3 oz sample at the Boulevardia Taps & Tastes in Kansas City, Missouri. The pour is hazed lighter golden with a minimal white head. The aroma is traditional Wit, wheat grain, coriander, general yeast spiciness. Fresh. The taste is the wheat grain and coriander from the nose, also adds nice lemon citrus, and some clove and banana from the yeast. The palate is light to medium bodied, unfiltered mouthfeel and pleasant lingering yeast. Well executed, hit the spot on a hot summer day.

Bottle. Pour is a straw-gold color with a fair amount of haze and a thin head. Aromas are of lemon and orange with a little ester funk. Flavor is very clean and crisp... light honey with oranges and a little spice, but I would be hard pressed to identify it as coriander without the cheater code on the label.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a small white head. Aroma is typical wit. Wheat malt and coriander and the main things that stand out. Flavor is again wheat, coriander and clove. Body is way thin though. Not as chewy as some wit can be. Still this is in the decent category. Everything you look for in a wit but maybe a little too watery.
