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.

Typical of an American brewed witbier. Nice color, but almost zero head, very little carbonation. Has the typical aroma you get with many of these "BeligianStyrle" wheat beers. The tast is all coriander and spice with light body/palate. No hop pressence; absolutely no bittering finish.

Poured into a hoegaarden glass for amusement. I actually sampled this shortly after drinking hoegaarden and prefer it to its distant cousin. Pours a hazy straw yellow with a meringue like head. Tastes much more citrusy than the hoe, and better as well. the coriander shines brightly as well. overall this is a refreshing brew for a warm, humid spring afternoon.

Here’s how they made this beer. They took a smoked ham that was starting to turn, boiled it in a vat of MGD for 24 hours and bottled the liquid. If this is anything like a Belgian beer I hope I never drink another. Pungent nasty aroma. Tastes just like it smells.

pours a transparent golden color with a nice looking head about a half inch tall. this beer almost tastes like a lager, but there is some belgian yeast flavor. almost a creamy texture in the mouth. I would probably not purchase again.

Pour is a hazy yellow with a white head. Aroma is weird. I get some wheat and yeast along with a smoky meatyness. Flavor is sweet and sour fruit with a bit of yeast. Not really a good sample of the style.

Nice cloudy look and a complex wheat beer smell. Lacks a head and what head it has disappears quickly. Brussels lace and carbonation bubbles seem nonexistent. Complex citrus and flowery flavors are dominated by acidic taste.

this poured a very light straw color with a very small white head. Smelled alright, earthy, spicy hops and sweet fruity malt. First sip was allright, but as I went on, this got harder to drink. Taste was the same as the smell, but as I went on a lot of sweet apple flavors remained in my mouth and made it really unpleasant and overly sweet.
