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.

12oz bottle. Aroma has some complexity to it. Coriander, soapy, yeasty, grainy and some lemon notes. Somewhat hazy gold body with white head. Body texure is thin with sweet grain flavor mixed in with a zesty lemon additive. Smooth and easy on the palate decent beer.

The body is quite watery. The aroma has a hint of coriander in it. The flavor, the coriander really stands out.

Pretty solid wit from Celis. Pale gold pour with moderate head, the feel is bubbly and the flavor quite lush and citrus. Deep orange, but not quite enough spice (more like a long finishing honey). Solid, unspectacular, good for this hot-ass day.

Bottle. Color is right -- a nice, unfiltered pale straw; but the foam is limp. Aroma is not strong: I didn’t detect much fruit or spice past the alcohol. Very fizzy in the mouth. Flavors are subtle; alcohol up front but not too bitter, some citrus/sweet subtleties going down, but the overall aftertaste is not particularly favorable. As a result, I didn’t find this brew particularly refreshing. Not terribly pleased overall.
