		After all, what I criticize as faults might be features of the real thing, little quirks blurred by an old man's memory; what I praise might be flaws in an American caricature.
		(Similarly, the best Belgian chocolates I've ever tasted were made in Danville, Illinois by real Belgians, including a lovely young woman, slightly rotund from too much sampling...) I believe that it was AjD who told me that the Celis operation has been acquired by Miller, but that the founder is still in charge.
		Blue Moon Belgian White is slightly darker in color than Celis, which is almost straw-colored.
