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.

Hazy pale gold with a fluffy white head. Good lacing. Aroma is coriander, cloves, banana, bubble gum and lemon. Taste has notes of banana, apricot, cinnamon, orange, lemon and fresh baked bread. Has a slight peppery kick at the finish, but otherwise very smooth and easy to drink.

Lightly hazed straw color with a smaller wispy white head. Aromas of orange peels and white pepper. Pale malt and wheat mingle with citrus and subtle coriander. Mildly acetic finish to cleanse the palate. A decent summer quencher brew.

Pours hazy/cloudy yellow with only med head. Very strong aroma I couldn’t pinpoint until my friend Pailhead mentioned teriyaki. Still a nice flavor though. A bigger head would have helped in app. But overall not a bad offering. Would try again.

On tap at the Gingerman in Austin, Tx - kick-ass place - thanks Fly for showing it to me! Anyway, hazy, light golden to white apperance - thick, milkshake like lacing. Bubblegum and clove aroma as expected which carries over to the flavor with some added spicy notes. Some banana notes come through in the end as well, Very thick mouthfeel, an excellent wit - sad to see it retiring.

Bottle: Has a peppery and almost teriyaki (or at least Jack Link’s Teriyaki Beef Jerky) smell to it. Quite different. Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. Malty and just like the aroma has a sweet teriyaki flavor to it. Lightly sour and banana in the finish. That teriyaki aroma and flavor is a little weird for a beer, but apparently I’m the only one smelling and tasting it.

Pours easy with a head that dissapates quicker than it’s popular German and Belgian Wit counterparts. A bit too thin on the palate and very brief and dry fininsh. Would consider sipping on another on a hot Houston day (appx 250 of 365)as a refresher, but definitely not a session beer.

Did not know this was retired. Seems to be a sweet find! Pleasant malty, spicy, peppery, banana aroma with hints of orange and lemon in there. Moderately hazy pale gold color with a nice fizzy white head. Start is citrs--lemons, astringent and tart. Wooo, spicy pepper kick to finish. Pretty good stuff.

On draft at MBC and at home in the bottle. As delicious as I remember the original Texas Celis white. Refreshing and full bodied, great spice, and a slightly sweet.
