Brewery: Michigan Brewing Company 
ABV: 8.00%
Review: Wow! This is truly a great wheat beer. Bold, rounded aroma, with a full, sweet, complex taste. The Celis White pours well, with a strong head and lush, cloudy body. A kick of citrus flavor adds to the overall intensity without tipping the balance to become yet another novelty-flavor beer. An extremely drinkable beer, and most definitely a crowd pleaser – offer this to any guest and you’ll be a popular host! The Michigan Brewing Company are building a reputation for producing consistently fantastic beers; classic renditions of craft beer favorites.
Food pairing: This beer needs no accompaniment, but would be excellent with rich food, especially meat-based dishes.

One of my favorites!!
Making plans to visit the MI Brewing Co. in the near future!
I’d say that rating is a bit high. I would maybe give it a 7. Their Grand Cru is pretty nice too. Incidentally, Celis was the brewer for Hoegaarden back in the day. Pretty neat.
In case you’re interested, here is my review of the Grand Cru

I’m sure I’m in the minority on this one, and it’s been a few years since I’ve had it, but it just didn’t do it for me when I tasted Celis White. I probably should give it another try.
Great beer but the ABV is only around 3.9 to 4ish… it would be way too dangerous if it was at 8.0
