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.

Bottled. Pours a hazy yellow color. Aroma is slightly sweet and yeasty with hint of lemon peel. Nice yeasty flavor with a little bit of graininess. Some spice in there as well. Finish is slightly bitter. Good and refreshing.

Poured a hazy pale straw with a white hue. Spicy and sweet aroma with orange notes. Flavor was tart, sweet, and acidic. Tasty and a nice change up from the many german wheats that preceded this one.

this beer poured a hazy golden with a very thin white head, smell of sweet malts, and typical belgian spices, the taste was also sweet, and this beer was very smooth, it was a tad weak but great for this time of year, i liked this beer, very drinkable.

This is a beer that I have heard about since I began studying beer. Cloudy pale with absolutely no head and nearly no carbonation. Pleasant aroma, though light, of curacao and orange peel, along with a light hint of butter toffee. Well intricated spice, malt and light hop flavors. Butter toffee flavors, light caramel and pit fruit, with "orangey" spice flavors and hints of tropical fruit snacks.

Bottle, hazy straw pale yellow pour. Citrusy and orange aroma and flavors, with a proportionate amount of spices. Also picked up hints of lemon.

Cloudy pale yellow. Good head. Very pale. Good spicing, balanced and not over the top. Really light and well-spiced. Not life-changing, but a good summer sipper.

This beer is a great example of an ideal witbier, however the flavor is a little too sweet and syrupy for me, almost candylike and floral. I feel that a lot of the enjoyment is lost on getting used to the sweetness.

Very nice - an extremely pale, hazy yellow body with a lofty white head. The aroma is flowery and yeasty and liberally spiced with coriander and orange rind. Mildly acidic with a lemony twist, the spicing continues, nearly covering the grassy & grainy backbone. It finishes on a very floral note, leaving me feel as though I just ate a begonia.
