Michigan Brewing Celis White

Brewed by Michigan Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Webberville, Michigan USA

Bottle... Very lightly hazy, deep yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Yeasty, citrusy aroma with notes of bread dough, underripe banana and all the other usual suspects of a witbier (coriander, bubblegum, orange peel). Well-balanced with tart & tangy flavors of lemon, underripe banana and a hint of apricot. Light-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, tangy finish.

At first this beer maintains a thick whitehead, but after about two minutes it dissipates. The nose and the palate are both on the light side. The palate is straight forward, but a bit too restrained for my liking. I like more spice and orange in my wits. At any rate I am glad to see that this label is being made again.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow color with a foamy white head. Nose is yeasty with light lemon zest and a grassy note. Palate is full and chalky. Flavors of light lemon, yeast, and a light peppery note.

Musky wheat aroma without any spice or fruit -- to my nose. Functional label, hazy pear gold. A bit brothy, some fruit, yeasty, some butterscotch candy, not much spice. Medium mouthfeel, quick finish. This isn’t a 78 percentile beer, as it’s currently ranked.

Thanks to beer handy for this. Pours dark straw, with a fizzy white head. Nice aroma of citrus, some malt, yeast. Tastes smooth, refreshing, with a great citrus wheat, and slight spice presence. Very good.

Nice beer. It’s hard to say how it compares to the original which was a decent beer before Pierre Celis sold a majority interest in his brewery to Miller.

clear, straw-yellow color, active carbonation, big, fluffy white head, very nice looking... Aroma: a burst of coriander bombs the nose, accompanied by citric fruit, orange and a hint of lemon, beautiful combination, nearly ethereal, but definitely uplifting and lively. Gorgeous. Great blast of spice and citrus on the tongue, lush, creamy texture...big fruit, nice hops, just enough tasty malt. Body is light to medium, finish ias a bit complex and lemony. Classic witbier. Very tasty, and extremely drinkable. I could down this by the case-ful in the summertime.

Yeasty floral citrus nose. Straw yellow color with frothy white head. Light yeasty sweet flavor. Palate is crisp with lots of carbonation and a smooth finish. Overall real solid beer with no flaws, but not outstanding.
