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.

Woah. This is way to sweet. Its that Belgian sticky sour sweet taste, but this one over does it. Maybe I just got a bad bottle, but it was not drinkable. I'll try it on top next time I'm at Ashley's, and re-rate it if its different.

Cloudy golden color,small bubbley white head.Grassy wheat aroma.The taste was weaty sweet at first the it turned to a lightly sour taste,with a mildly lemon flavor coming on at the middle and end of the taste the after taste was more of a lemon grass then anything.Not to bad a brew but there are better ones out there.

Head dissapppeared pretty quichly. real light body (of course) Light malts some banannas and dry barley. A bit of spice, coriander. Some cloying helpd to hold flavors longer, improved substantially as it warmed. Citrucy and sweet, wheaty and smooth. Not too bad on a summer evening when the sun is going down and it's finally starting to cool down.

I first had this beer while still brewed by Celis, then when Miller took over the quality fell, now I hope that the new brewery in Michigan restores this beer to it's world-class status. Rating based on the on latest bottle offering. Standard cloudy yellow color with a small but solid head, medium-bodied. Cloves and citrus in the aroma. Tart taste that is balanced a hint of sweetness. Lingering spiciness on palate. Very refreshing.

Pours a light straw-yellow color with a thick, white head. Aroma is coriander and banana, and the flavor is a nice medley (I thought I'd never use that word...) of bananaesque esters, yeast, coriander, and orange peel. These witbiers sure are refreshing. They are like the wine coolers of the beer world...

On tap at Ashley's, Ann Arbor. Quite good cold, right out of the gate - all the right clove and banana - but got too thin really quick upon warming. A hint of cloudy grey mixed in with the yellow.

Pleasantly more sweet and estery notes in the nose than other wits. Since this recipe was formulated by Peter himself, this must be what a good wit should taste like. There is an acidic tartness present that adds good dimensionality. Very enjoyable.

moderately cloudy, big white head. zesty nose, juicy with boat loads of spice on top. beats zoomerwit in a Michigan Wit session
