Michigan Brewing Celis White

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

clear, straw-yellow color, active carbonation, big, fluffy white head, very nice looking... Aroma: a burst of coriander bombs the nose, accompanied by citric fruit, orange and a hint of lemon, beautiful combination, nearly ethereal, but definitely uplifting and lively. Gorgeous. Great blast of spice and citrus on the tongue, lush, creamy texture...big fruit, nice hops, just enough tasty malt. Body is light to medium, finish ias a bit complex and lemony. Classic witbier. Very tasty, and extremely drinkable. I could down this by the case-ful in the summertime.

Yeasty floral citrus nose. Straw yellow color with frothy white head. Light yeasty sweet flavor. Palate is crisp with lots of carbonation and a smooth finish. Overall real solid beer with no flaws, but not outstanding.

Huge thanks to Kawa for sending me this one. I’ll show my age a bit here, and mention that I was a huge fan of the original back in the day. Michigan in my opinion has done a nice job recreating the brew. Huge nose of coriander, with a touch of orange and wheat, the classic combination, just pumped up a notch. Light hazy yellow, bit of gold, OK head that faded to a ring. Coriander and wheat wrap around each other, finishing with a citric twang, all melded together perfectly. This was, and now is, one of the very best witbiers brewed in my opinion.

Bottle: Clear yellow with a touch of haze and hardly any head. Orange and coriander in the nose, prickly carbonation and a medium body. Starts and ends with a touch of sweetness and some acidity.

Hazy pale gold with a fluffy white head. Good lacing. Aroma is coriander, cloves, banana, bubble gum and lemon. Taste has notes of banana, apricot, cinnamon, orange, lemon and fresh baked bread. Has a slight peppery kick at the finish, but otherwise very smooth and easy to drink.

Lightly hazed straw color with a smaller wispy white head. Aromas of orange peels and white pepper. Pale malt and wheat mingle with citrus and subtle coriander. Mildly acetic finish to cleanse the palate. A decent summer quencher brew.

Pours hazy/cloudy yellow with only med head. Very strong aroma I couldn’t pinpoint until my friend Pailhead mentioned teriyaki. Still a nice flavor though. A bigger head would have helped in app. But overall not a bad offering. Would try again.

On tap at the Gingerman in Austin, Tx - kick-ass place - thanks Fly for showing it to me! Anyway, hazy, light golden to white apperance - thick, milkshake like lacing. Bubblegum and clove aroma as expected which carries over to the flavor with some added spicy notes. Some banana notes come through in the end as well, Very thick mouthfeel, an excellent wit - sad to see it retiring.
