Jun 23, 2006 From a 12 oz. long neck brown bottle with no freshness date.
Made a good appearance, poured a cloudy pale golden with a foamy white head that settled into a thin bubbly lacing, minimal amount of sticking, good witbier carbonation.
Had a tart, zesty, spicy and yeasty nose, lemon, orange and coriander with a sweet wheat malty backing.
A malty crisp, dry and smooth lightish medium bodied mouthfeel, good witbier drinkability.
Tart and slightly sour lemon taste with a orange zestiness throw in, coriander spiciness with a pinch of pepper, a backing sweet fruity wheat maltiness and dry yeastiness and a dry lemony and wheat malty finish, very quaffable.
I never had the Texas brewed Celis, so I can’t compare, but witbier is one of favorite styles and this passes my taste test, an excellent summertime brew, for me, hits all the right notes. And at a affordable price too.

Jun 20, 2006 Maybe it’s because I haven’t had a Belgian White for a while, but this is a delicious beer! Nice floural bouquet, amazing smoothness with a tangy bite. Just really refreshing, full of flavour, and nicely balenced. Probably the best witbier for the price that I have had.

Jun 18, 2006 Bottle. The quick and dirty: it’s as close to Hoegaarden White as I’ve tasted from an American brewer. Bravo! If you’re in Michigan and looking for a witbier, I’d highly recommend it.

May 23, 2006 On tap @ MBC. Gently citrus spice aroma, cloudy golden color as to be expected. Somewhat sweet with nice citrusy flavor. Not as "in your face" as some whites/wits. I have a growler in my fridge.

May 16, 2006 This bottled brew from Traverse City, MI poured a medium sized head of foamy fine to large sized white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a carbonated hazy yellow white colored body. The aroma was floral with fruity banana and wheat notes. The mouth feel was tingly crisp and clean from its start to its bubbly finish. The flavor was sharp with a malty backing under a banana wheat malt spice taste.

May 12, 2006 Updated: Jan 10, 2009Bottle. Sweet apricot and clove aroma. Light orange yellow color with small head. Light sour apricot and wheat flavor. Very nice body. I had the Texas Celis white about 15 years ago but don’t remember enough to rate it but this is still a well-made beer - has nice witbier characterics with a unique flavor I’ve never really gotten from other wits. One of the best American witbiers.
