“Grand Cru” has been used by Belgian brewers for centuries to denote a more elaborate version of their original product. We continue this tradition with Celis Grand Cru, a heartier version of Celis White. Made with select hops, Celis Grand Cru is brewed with the bright flavors of lemon peel and mellow coriander, which give a robust finish to the classic wheat beer. Perfect for the cool fall and winter months, or when you want a beer slightly bolder in flavor—try pairing it with roasted meat or shellfish dishes.

On tap at Celis, pours a hazy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma reveals notes of candied sugar, esters and some Belgian yeast. Flavour is fairly estery and floral, with Belgian yeast, candied sugar and a touch of bubblegum. Not too sweet and actually fairly authentic, surprisingly. Pretty solid.

From old tasting notes. Brewed in Austin Texas. Brilliant yellow gold color. Bubbly white head. Complex malt aroma with hints of citrus and spice. Spicy fruit malt flavor has notes of orange peel and anise seed. Very good.

Bottle. From old notes. With herbs and spices, by the original maker of Hoegaarden. Very similar to Hoegaarden Grand Cru, but not quite as good. Not as rich and malty, the flavor just is not up to the other, although it is a pretty pleasant beer.

Draft. Medium gold, light head. Weak yeast influence, some coriander, hints of malts and hops; not watery but not full flavored either. Okay.

Very light, clear, pale gold with a frothy white head. Very little aroma....yeasty. Mild...a slight nutty tone over the yeast.... A hint of white pepper. Light, but still pretty nice.
