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.

The body is quite watery. The aroma has a hint of coriander in it. The flavor, the coriander really stands out.

Pretty solid wit from Celis. Pale gold pour with moderate head, the feel is bubbly and the flavor quite lush and citrus. Deep orange, but not quite enough spice (more like a long finishing honey). Solid, unspectacular, good for this hot-ass day.

Bottle. Color is right -- a nice, unfiltered pale straw; but the foam is limp. Aroma is not strong: I didn’t detect much fruit or spice past the alcohol. Very fizzy in the mouth. Flavors are subtle; alcohol up front but not too bitter, some citrus/sweet subtleties going down, but the overall aftertaste is not particularly favorable. As a result, I didn’t find this brew particularly refreshing. Not terribly pleased overall.

Pours hazy golden yellow, small white head. Oange and spices in the aroma. Flavor is orange and honey all the way. Wheat is very evident with subtle hallertau hops in the background. Mainly orange and honey with wheat and spices with a tasty wit yeast that gives a great spiciness, good beer.

Va BF 07 Draft: Raspberry and corn aroma. Yellow color, but a bit cloudy. Medium head, good lacing. Sour apple and well balanced hops. Nice hop finish. Thin mouthfeel.

Botle Pours a hazy dingy white/yellow witha quick thin white head. Even thin and quickly dissipating lacing. Lots of fruity yeasty aroma. Flavor is light and sweet and not much of the classic Belgian yeat flavor. Some banana notes witha touch of sweet citrus. Very light palate and softly carbonated. Refreshing on a hot day, not much of a fan though.

12 oz. bottle. Classic wheat aroma: orange, bubblegum, cinnamon; fruity and floral sweetness. Pours a slightly hazy, sparkling, pale gold with a moderate amount of near white head. Tart, lemony, sour, salty flavor. Hops noticeable, which is not a given in this style. Dry finish. Lightly bitter aftertaste. Light to medium in body. Lively, frothy, and soft in the palate. Easy to drink. Pleasant but not remarkable overall.
