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.

Maybe it’s because I haven’t had a Belgian White for a while, but this is a delicious beer! Nice floural bouquet, amazing smoothness with a tangy bite. Just really refreshing, full of flavour, and nicely balenced. Probably the best witbier for the price that I have had.

Bottle. The quick and dirty: it’s as close to Hoegaarden White as I’ve tasted from an American brewer. Bravo! If you’re in Michigan and looking for a witbier, I’d highly recommend it.

On tap @ MBC. Gently citrus spice aroma, cloudy golden color as to be expected. Somewhat sweet with nice citrusy flavor. Not as "in your face" as some whites/wits. I have a growler in my fridge.

This bottled brew from Traverse City, MI poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to large sized white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a carbonated hazy yellow white colored body. The aroma was floral with fruity banana and wheat notes. The mouth feel was tingly crisp and clean from its start to its bubbly finish. The flavor was sharp with a malty backing under a banana wheat malt spice taste.

Bottle. Sweet apricot and clove aroma. Light orange yellow color with small head. Light sour apricot and wheat flavor. Very nice body. I had the Texas Celis white about 15 years ago but don’t remember enough to rate it but this is still a well-made beer - has nice witbier characterics with a unique flavor I’ve never really gotten from other wits. One of the best American witbiers.

A nice belgian-style wheat beer... a hazy yellow in appearance... soft aromas and a good beer from Michigan Brewing

Ok, this is a re-rate after a previous bad bottle. The beer still pours ugly for me. A small white head atop a solid hazed body the color of a Trader Joes pineapple/orange juice mix - dark yellowy with orange tints. The aromas are more pleasant than before. Definite oranges and clove spice. The yeast contributes to an aroma that I can’t detach from the fruitiness of ripe brie. Oh god, now I just smell cheese all the time! This must be what turned bad in the previous bottle. Body is light and clean with some nice tart acidity imparted by the wheat. Refreshing and quaffable. No long aftertaste. Not nearly as bad as the first time around, but not my favorite in this style.

Bottle sampled with Stegosaurus. This beer poured golden with a white head. l Aroma of citrus, sweet malts, spices. Flavor is carbonated, sweet, citrus. not to bad.
