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.

12oz bottle into a wheat glass. Great history, and a pretty good beer. It’s not the best thing in the world, but a solid wit.

I will have to agree with the masses. This is a pretty good witbier. The best of the bunch in this mixed case. It held true to all the characteristics that make a wit beer a witbier. Give this beer a try.

12 oz from Weiland’s Market in Columbus, OH. Pours clear yellow with a small white head. Nose is lemony citrus, sugar, wheat, grass, and Lemonheads. Flavor is similar with spice and a mellow sweetness. Medium bodied and very enjoyable.

Thanks Floyd! A cloudy yellowish beer with a small white head that lasts a few minutes. A nose full of coriander and bread pudding. Flavor is similar to the aroma with citrus fruit. A nice zingy feel. Late in the glass a dry sour funky bitterness shows up. This is a nice clean and refreshing wit.

12oz bottle 7/13/09 (Siciliano’s Market-Grand Rapids)-Pours a slightly hazy yellowish golden with a big loose white head. Aroma of Belgian, coriander, yeast, wheat, and spices. Taste is of spices that last throughout then kick it up on the back end. In the middle the citrus, corinder, and yeast come through. This medium bodied brew is quite good. This is my all time favorite beer when it was brewed by Celis and Michigan does a pretty decent job of trying to keep it alive but it must have been the Austin water but it just isn’t the same.

light amber color with a full body. An average flavor that isn’t overpowering...it is what it is...

12oz bottle. Pours a cloudy lighter golden with a small sudsy white head that subsides into a dense fine froth. Fairly accurate Belgian aroma, quite spicy, sweet, lots of wheat, yeast. Flavor is super spicy up front and on the finish, but still quite full in flavor with a large backbone, definitely enough to support up to 6% alcohol. Loads of coriander, citrus, a bit tart, green apple, very yeasty, fruity, maybe just a touch too sweet and chewy, but the spices are quite nice. Body is medium/full, huge for a wit, full chunky carbonation, lightly syrupy. Close but just a touch rough... needs more delicacy.
