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.

Pours a cloudy golden orange color with a nice head. I would say this is a really good witbier especially for being non-Belgian. 12 oz. bottle

Hazy yellow color with a medium sized foamy white head that does not persist. Tastes of creme, lemon, perfume, lactic acid, soda, and flowers. Nose is of peanut shells, grass, citrus. Milky mouthfeel that is also carbonated and lively. Medium to long finish. Not bad.

Via trade. Pour is off. Not enough wheat in the texture and the head isn’t very creamy. Color has a golden amber hue to it and very little haze. No sediment in the bottle. On to the aroma! Funky, spice comes through, yeasty, some orange peel. Flavor is crisp, yeasty, mild spice, orange peel more pronounced. Palate is crisp. Don’t get much wheat out of this.

Got this bottle as part of a Build-Your-Own-6-Pack deal from Georgetown Deli near Wilkes-Barre, PA. First note: as I poured I noticed the date stamped on the bottle: 05/17/08. This beer is almost a year old... Smells typical for a wheat beer, banana-y, over-note of maltiness; clear yellow in the glass rather than cloudy as I expected, and thin head; may be due to the age. Flavors are pretty typical of a wheat beer, orange and peach and a bit yeasty. Very thin, this would make a decent summer brew if it were in a cooler full of ice and you wanted to serve up something different and "unusual" compared to the traditional cheapo macros that dominate summer.

Foggy golden pour. Fizzy sensation on the taste. Head is consistent with a Belgian. Aroma is fruity and is quite reflective of the style. Soft feel over the palate with the carbonation playing a role in the taste. Slight bitterness around the edges. Finishes with little aftertaste. A great sample from a former Texas brewery!

Cloudy banana yellow, thin white head. Aroma of yeast, orange, coriander and faint smoke. Taste of a standard Belgian wit – orange, coriander with some mild Belgian sugar mixed in. Not too bad.
