With a recipe that dates back to the 14th Century, this is one of our most traditional craft beers. Our interpretation was inspired directly by Pierre Celis and his original efforts to resurrect this beloved style. This beer is an unfiltered Witbier or “White Beer” to the Flemish-speaking Belgians because of its opaque, white appearance. It measures 4.9% ABV and is a wonderfully refreshing, easy drinking beer enjoyed throughout the year. Its grain bill includes nearly 50% unmalted wheat and oats while it is very lightly spiced with Coriander, Orange Peel, and a touch of other unique flavors. The yeast in this recipe was cultured from the original strain near the town of Hoegaarden in Belgium and adds a pleasant fruitiness during fermentation. Enjoy this beer with or without an orange slice. Although the beer connoisseur might frown at you, we won’t judge you if you ask for one.

Bottle: Hazy, pale yellow gold with white head. Banana, wheat, orange, clove aroma. Sweet orange malt, wheat malt flavour. Not a standout, but pretty good......a little more Hefe-leaning than a Wit.

Bottle. Milky lemon, coriander, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Clear golden yellow with large white head. Mildly sweet creamy citrus, wheat malt, coriander and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Decent - malt flavor not as strong as I would like.
