White Beers

White or wheat beers are light, easy drinking, refreshing, unfiltered, hazy, yellow coloured beers made from a mixture of raw wheat and barley malt,  sometimes oats are added.  They are seasoned with coriander and Curaçao orange zest,  have a fruity-lemony flavour and a slightly dry, spicy aftertaste. This style of brewing, typical of the region south west of Brussels around the village of Hoegaarden died out due to the popularity of lagers in the 60’s and was revived and reinvented by Pierre Celis. Alcohol strength is between 4.5 and 5.5 %.
