Todays post Celis White versus Hoegaarden. Both belgian wit beers, both made by the same man, both available in Tokyo. Paired with a green salad and the lemon dressing on the right ( olive oil, white vinegar, lime, spices). The verdict Hoegaarden is a very light white beer, which would be a great bridge beer, unoffensive but with slightly more character than your average macro beer. I think i got a whif of macro lager in it as well, perhaps thats the influence of ABInbev on the recipe. Celis White deeper color, aroma, and flavor. The flavor is subtle, but is like a lime, in a dusty room filled with wheat. Both went well with the salad, not overpowering the light veggies, forming a weak link with the citrus flavor, and clearing off the flavor of the dressing. I really enjoy comparing beers, very illuminating.
