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.

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.

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.

One bttle from BOTW. Pours pale yellow with slight whitish head. Aroma of citrus and yeast. Flavor of orange and Lemon. Refreshing beer. I had this after trimming many branches out of the trees in my yard.

12 oz bottle. Pours a glowing golden peach color with a rocky eggshell white head. Pretty solid witbier aromas; coriander, seville orange rind, wheat husk and some other muted spicings. Trace mineral aroma. Very nice. Malty and crisp with a faint acidity intertwined with the malt. Fruity esters are moderate, mostly sweet citrus. Very true to its style and easily enjoyable.
