Perfect (Reply to this comment)

I've just bought a home brew kit and have been thinking about brewing a wheat beer. This was an awesome introduction to the different styles available. I've never like the Hefeweizen taste, but admire the body, color and feel of wheat beer in general. Just can't get past that pungent aroma and sharp taste that make my sinus glands go crazy. I'm excited to learn about the other styles! Perhaps a darker version would be an excellent compromise. Cheers!

Thanks for the education and good info, Mark. And yes, I miss Celis, too - I think they didn't make Miller's corporate sales threshold or something.

weizen vs. wit (Reply to this comment)
by mrkstvns,  in Restaurants & Gourmet
"Wit" means white, which is the same as the german word "weiss". The word "weizen" translates to wheat.
Weizen and wit are actually quite different, as I think you'll notice if you try the Hoegaarden side-by-side with a weizen beer like Hacker-Pschorr.
Thanks for the comment!

Ouch... (Reply to this comment)

...and I have been drinking Hoegarden, Hacker-Pschorr and some beer from Aachen (forgot the name) and always thought it's the same kind of wheat beer... Just one thing - isn't Wit simply a translation of Weizen? Because Weizen beer and Hoegarden tasted very closely to me...
