Commercial Description:
Celis White has been revived by Michigan Brewing Company with the blessing of its founder and his daughter, Christine Celis. The original Celis White, brewed in Austin, TX by Pierre Celis during the early and mid 1990's, ceased production when Mr. Celis closed his Austin microbrewery and moved to Belgium.

Bottle. Wheaty and very estery aroma, strong, dry breadiness with subtle citrus and slight but rounding clove. Sickly yellow pour with a fizzy whitish head. Medium-fullish, sticky body. Good wit taste, perhaps a little off with the sticky bubblegum, but the aftertaste is dry and bready. Wheat malt is a bit too grainy, and there nice acidity veers a little too close to metallic. Still, for such a widespread and near-standard Ami wheat beer, and at such a low alcohol, this is about as good as we’re going to get!

Bottle... Poured a hazy orange with a white head. Very sour and tart aroma. Mildly carbonated with flavors of clove and lots of esters. Citrusy presences and a yeast aftertaste. This brew was ok, but lower quality than a lot of others of the same style. Some of the flavors could have been subdued a bit as the esters were a bit overbearing.

12oz bottle, been cold for a long while, pour is a light yellow, lighter than even (gasp) Blue Moon, smell is with that coriander and yeast, not bad at all cept for that yeasty funk that i personally dislike, not bad and very very drinkable despite above quality.

(Bottle) Pours a hazy yellow color with a dense white head. Spicy aroma of orange peel and yeast. Taste includes some pepper and sour citrus fruits. Mouthfeel is rather thin, but this beer still contains some interesting flavors that were unique.

Found rating from a while ago, in another time and another place... Pours yellow, cloudy, with a small white head. Aroma is orange peel, spice. Flacor is similar, yeasty, with citrus, fruit, and spice. I remember it being much better when I lived in TX.

A small taster at The Bishop’s Arms, Malmo, 8th Oct 2007. This came across as a very standard witbier. Citrus and wheat aroma and taste, standard witbier appearance and body.

Bottle. Pours a light hazy gold with a small white head. The aroma is gingerbread cookies. The taste is spices, wheat, some citrus, and sweet malts. Really smooth and easy to drink. A thin body. Overall, not a bad beer.
