Michigan Brewing Celis White

Brewed by Michigan Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Webberville, Michigan USA

Clear pale yellow with a small white head. Aroma of yeast, bread dough, and corriander. Light wheat flavor, slight hint of corriander. Finishes moderately bitter with a light tartness as well.

pale yellow pour, with a little bit of white frothy head. aroma is citrus, cloves, yeasty, etc. taste is the same. citrusy spicy flavor with a little sour finish. very refreshing.

Bottle... Very lightly hazy, deep yellow ale with a small, fizzy, white head. Yeasty, citrusy aroma with notes of bread dough, underripe banana and all the other usual suspects of a witbier (coriander, bubblegum, orange peel). Well-balanced with tart & tangy flavors of lemon, underripe banana and a hint of apricot. Light-bodied with fizzy carbonation. Short, crisp, tangy finish.

At first this beer maintains a thick whitehead, but after about two minutes it dissipates. The nose and the palate are both on the light side. The palate is straight forward, but a bit too restrained for my liking. I like more spice and orange in my wits. At any rate I am glad to see that this label is being made again.

Bottle. Pours a cloudy pale yellow color with a foamy white head. Nose is yeasty with light lemon zest and a grassy note. Palate is full and chalky. Flavors of light lemon, yeast, and a light peppery note.

Musky wheat aroma without any spice or fruit -- to my nose. Functional label, hazy pear gold. A bit brothy, some fruit, yeasty, some butterscotch candy, not much spice. Medium mouthfeel, quick finish. This isn’t a 78 percentile beer, as it’s currently ranked.

Thanks to beer handy for this. Pours dark straw, with a fizzy white head. Nice aroma of citrus, some malt, yeast. Tastes smooth, refreshing, with a great citrus wheat, and slight spice presence. Very good.

Nice beer. It’s hard to say how it compares to the original which was a decent beer before Pierre Celis sold a majority interest in his brewery to Miller.
