Belgian Wit

Though a popular style in its day, especially in the 19th century, witbier was virtually extinct by the 1950s. The style was, however, single-handedly resurrected in the 1960s and eventually made famous by Pierre Celis of the De Kluis Brewery in Hoegaarden, Belgium. This wheat beer is refreshing, spicy, pale and cloudy, can be slightly sour, has a dense head of white foam and is now brewed throughout Belgium and around the world.
