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.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is weird. I get some wheat and yeast along with a smoky meatyness. Flavor is sweet and sour fruit with a bit of yeast. Not really a good sample of the style.

Nice cloudy look and a complex wheat beer smell. Lacks a head and what head it has disappears quickly. Brussels lace and carbonation bubbles seem nonexistent. Complex citrus and flowery flavors are dominated by acidic taste.

this poured a very light straw color with a very small white head. Smelled alright, earthy, spicy hops and sweet fruity malt. First sip was allright, but as I went on, this got harder to drink. Taste was the same as the smell, but as I went on a lot of sweet apple flavors remained in my mouth and made it really unpleasant and overly sweet.

Pours lemon gold, with a fluffy white head. The aroma is full of green grapes, a little lemon, and a touch of yeast. Smooth and thin, with tastes of sour fruit, earth, spice, and wheat. Decent overall.

Lightly cloudy light yellow with a thin even film of white. Oddly lightly smokey over light wheat esters. Lightly sweet coriander with a hint of lemon. Middling body, on the thin side, with low carbonation. Sharp lemony wheat, salt. A bit creamy. Very fruity. acidic. Lingering lemon. Refreshing beer, this would be nice in the summer heat I am sure.

Bottle. Wheaty and very estery aroma, strong, dry breadiness with subtle citrus and slight but rounding clove. Sickly yellow pour with a fizzy whitish head. Medium-fullish, sticky body. Good wit taste, perhaps a little off with the sticky bubblegum, but the aftertaste is dry and bready. Wheat malt is a bit too grainy, and there nice acidity veers a little too close to metallic. Still, for such a widespread and near-standard Ami wheat beer, and at such a low alcohol, this is about as good as we’re going to get!

Bottle... Poured a hazy orange with a white head. Very sour and tart aroma. Mildly carbonated with flavors of clove and lots of esters. Citrusy presences and a yeast aftertaste. This brew was ok, but lower quality than a lot of others of the same style. Some of the flavors could have been subdued a bit as the esters were a bit overbearing.
