Michigan Brewing Celis White

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

Cloudy lemmon yellow with a rocky white head. Tangy nose with bananas and orange peel, some nutmeg or coriander. Big whallop of flavor--fairly sweet with orange, banana, some anise. Finishes kind of strange, with lots of grassy hops.

It pours a nice and even white head into a tumbler contrasted against a pale yellow colour. The aroma is pleasing with spicy clovy scents. The palate is interesting with loud flavors of more spice and scents. A smooth flavour with no harsh or distracting adjuncts. I had my first swallow with a tex mex hot dog: Corn Tortilla/Weiner/Onion/Jalapeno/ and it provided for an excellent wash down. Try the Belgian Wheat. Its worth the 6 bucks.

Beer? It looks AND smells like some kind of fruit juice. It has a great orange-lemon flavor with a little bit of zesty spice to finish it off. Other than the spice, this was totally forgettable.

Weird taste...tastes like a cross between miller lite and lemon jolly ranchers. I'm not the biggest fan of Belgain whites, but I think this is the best I've had to date.

1/24/04. Poured out of 12 oz. bottle, obtained in a trade on RateBeer 11/15/04. Pours a cloudy pale yellow, no real head but decent lacing on the edges of the glass. Not a fan of the color, though. . . Aroma is pretty strong, but not all that fantastic. Very straightforwardly wheaty and yeasty, a little sweet and surprisingly spiced- a little bit of cinnamon and pie crust, very similar to some pumpkin ales I've had. I must say, the appearance and aroma remind me quite a bit of cloudy piss, and I'm frightened and ashamed to say that this is still a tolerable drinking beverage. Initial taste has a pretty sharp stinging carbonation and undertaste of harsh yeast, a blanket of slightly tart and sour banana and apricot, and of course the wheat. Some lemony flavors, but not natural lemon-- more like an artificial sour lemon taste. Some spicy hoppiness in there that lasts into the finish, and I can feel the coriander on this little guy as well. Mouthfeel is decent, thin-to-medium body and with a slight creaminess and slickness to it that makes you really feel when it leaves your mouth. Bottom sort of just drops out into the finish, not that elegant, but then the wheat, coriander, and slightly sweet citrus flavors linger around for quite awhile. Decent brew, and I'd imagine it's pretty refreshing during the summer months, but I'm not a real big fan.

White yellow cloudy colour. Sour flavour of wheatiness spicy very good. Wheaty aroma.

Cloudy pepperiness with hints of lemon. A bit weak and overly carbonated--I waited for it to warm but it didn't get any better.

Very beautiful light orange yellow color, aroma however was not attractive at all, smelled like sour dough yeast and cheese, and tasted exactly the same, except for a tart sour lemon aftertaste. Not my type at all
