Celtika Celtic White Beer
If I had to pick a single word for this beer, it’d be ‘tartastic’, or maybe ‘retarted’. That’s because this is a really tart beer. . . get it? Seriously, as far as white beers go, this is the tartest and sourest I’ve yet found. I guess I shouldn’t be too surprised – this is apparently a French interpretation of what they call a Celtic white beer. It tastes to me, rather, like these guys took a barrel of Belgian white and a barrel of French saison and just mixed the two together. It does pour a nice cloudy orange hue with a thick white head, and the aroma is, as expected, very sour. I don’t see any need to go into much more detail than I already have about the taste. But, basically, it’s citrusy, slightly sweet, and extremely sour and tart. ‘Nuff said. All in all, I’d say this is a decent beer for someone who enjoys both white ales and saison ales. However, I’m not blown away by this, my first taste of Celtika Brewery.
