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.

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.

BOTMC Selection August 2008: Poured from the bottle into a double-walled pint glass. Pour produced a cloudy golden body topped by a medium head of white foam, which dissipated fairly quickly. Strong aromas of lemon, cloves, and wheat. Tart and light-bodied, this White goes down easily, with good, crisp carbonation, mild aftertaste, and a generally clean palate throughout. This is a fine beer for hot Summer months and will keep this in mind for the next Summer.

Bought a six pack, and this beer just gets better the more you drink. Light citrus refreshing scent. The palate is really smooth and creamy. You can really taste the corriander and spice. This is an amazing Belgian wheat.

Damn good white. The kind that you just want to gulp instead of sip. Lots of flavors goin on, little sweeter, more of a hop finish than others. But damn is it refreshifying.

I love the typical belgian white ale flavor of this microbrew. It’s smell and flavor are strong and a little sweeter than that of a true belgian like Hoegaarden.

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.
