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.

Cloudy pale yellow. Good head. Very pale. Good spicing, balanced and not over the top. Really light and well-spiced. Not life-changing, but a good summer sipper.

This beer is a great example of an ideal witbier, however the flavor is a little too sweet and syrupy for me, almost candylike and floral. I feel that a lot of the enjoyment is lost on getting used to the sweetness.

Very nice - an extremely pale, hazy yellow body with a lofty white head. The aroma is flowery and yeasty and liberally spiced with coriander and orange rind. Mildly acidic with a lemony twist, the spicing continues, nearly covering the grassy & grainy backbone. It finishes on a very floral note, leaving me feel as though I just ate a begonia.

Sampled at le Mondial de la bière 2005. Pours a hazy pale yellow color with a ring of white lace. Aroma and flavor of ginger, spices, citrus and yeast. Light body, creamy texture, moderate carbonation.

Mild citrus-lemon, floral notes, spicy coriander and wheat in the nose. Opaque yellow-white coloured body with decent cover of bright white head that coats the glass. Spiciness up front with strong wheat flavour and mild yeasty esters. Crisp carbonation prickles the tongue. Medium body. Refreshing. Sampled at Mondial de la Bière 2005.

Initially generous white head fades rather fast from the nicely hazy pale yellow body. Floral nose, like fluffy petals is quickly overwhelmed by seas of coriander. Mellow, soporific yet thick smelling. Sweet grain, coriander obviously, and orange peel mingle around smoothly in a slightly lactic atmosphere, though it is not sour. Round palate, soft carbonation biting the sides of the mouth. Average.

I tried this and was not happy with it. Nothing out of mundane. Hazy yellow color. Small disappearing head. Nose of yeast...
