| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 31, 2004 Bottle: Has a peppery and almost teriyaki (or at least Jack Link’s Teriyaki Beef Jerky) smell to it. Quite different. Pours a pale yellow with a small white head. Malty and just like the aroma has a sweet teriyaki flavor to it. Lightly sour and banana in the finish. That teriyaki aroma and flavor is a little weird for a beer, but apparently I’m the only one smelling and tasting it. Brew4Dug (136), Houston, Texas, USA
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 28, 2004 Pours easy with a head that dissapates quicker than it’s popular German and Belgian Wit counterparts. A bit too thin on the palate and very brief and dry fininsh. Would consider sipping on another on a hot Houston day (appx 250 of 365)as a refresher, but definitely not a session beer.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 15, 2004 Did not know this was retired. Seems to be a sweet find! Pleasant malty, spicy, peppery, banana aroma with hints of orange and lemon in there. Moderately hazy pale gold color with a nice fizzy white head. Start is citrs--lemons, astringent and tart. Wooo, spicy pepper kick to finish. Pretty good stuff. pobenohne (504), Northern Liberties, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 10, 2004 On draft at MBC and at home in the bottle. As delicious as I remember the original Texas Celis white. Refreshing and full bodied, great spice, and a slightly sweet. beerinmarch (2829), Washington, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 8, 2004 Great belgian spice aroma, lots of spice, floral hops, and citrus fruit. Pours a faintly hazy yellow with a nice white head. Some great dry spiciness to the taste with hints of coriander, light wheaty taste, and a light hop finish. Nice crisp and dry brew.

| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Oct 8, 2004 very spicey fruity aroma, smeels so damn good. Spicey and fruity taste as well, carbonation really brings out the flavors, a nice dry finish. egajdzis (3636), Spring Mount, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Oct 4, 2004 GABF2004... Sampled while speaking with Pierre. Cloudy pale gold color with a small white head. Wheaty and citrusy, tart aroma. Lightly tart citrus taste, sweet bubblegum, oranges. A great refresher between the beers I was drinking today.

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Oct 3, 2004 On Draught and Bottle -Praise be to the Celis family. I was CRUSHED when they left Austin. But thank the beer gods, that they are back in production again ( even if it is in Michigan)- it’s a great state to me. It still has the most refreshing taste of any beer on a hot summer day. Some purist would disagree, but it’s the best beer to drink with just a squeeze of lemon. The bottle version of the new version has a little less flavor then the keg stock. The thrill is back! Now all we need is the Celis Raspberry to make a Berry White mix
