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.

Poured a cloudy yellowish orange color with a nice big white head. Aroma was of spicy, cloves and coriander wiht some lemon notes. Flavor is really spicy, a lot like hoegaarden but with a bit more fruitness to it.

Beer of the Month club. Yum, totally solid witbier. Not spectacular or anything, but can’t say I’m disappointed to find this on my doorstep.

Bottle. At first, this seemed overspiced and a little too full in the body to present a crisp taste. But the more I drank, the more I enjoyed the beer. Hazy yellow body with a short white head. The aroma was spicy (coriander) with a light toasted grain note and some citrus. The flavor was lightly to moderately sweet and moderately acidic. Upfront taste of coriander and orange peel. Finish was dry and lightly bitter. Medium body with lively carbonation.

Pours a lively golden yellow with a healthy head of white. Aroma is a nice mix of spice and grain. Flavor follows suit with the addtion of earthy tones. Average mouthfeel. Nice.

Typical of an American brewed witbier. Nice color, but almost zero head, very little carbonation. Has the typical aroma you get with many of these "BeligianStyrle" wheat beers. The tast is all coriander and spice with light body/palate. No hop pressence; absolutely no bittering finish.

Poured into a hoegaarden glass for amusement. I actually sampled this shortly after drinking hoegaarden and prefer it to its distant cousin. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a meringue like head. Tastes much more citrusy than the hoe, and better as well. the coriander shines brightly as well. overall this is a refreshing brew for a warm, humid spring afternoon.
