Based on the original Celis Pale Bock as developed by Pierre Celis in the Celis Brewery in Austin, Texas; Van Steenberge managed to obtain the right to brew the Celis brand in Belgium and distribute it everywhere except for the United States, so this entry only relates to the Van Steenberge-brewed version.

Caramelaroma. Sweet, caramelly and sticky flavor. Buttery with avocado and yoghurt. I really detest this sticky and smelly beer.

Bottle. Pours a clear amber with a small frothy off white head that leaves decent spotty lacing. The aroma is a bready malt with caramel. Thin mouthfeel with a light roast malt with caramel, raisin and brown sugar. Easy to drink a good belgian ale from Celis.

Hazy copper color. Aroma of sugars, maybe some caramel too. Quite dry mouthfeel, some caramel flavor, old, expired. Not interesting.

Pours a copper colour with very little head. Slightly sweet aroma and quite a bitter flavour, almost sour, perhaps a little tart like un-ripe fruit. Very little aftertaste to speak of. Not bad, but I wasn’t that taken with it.

Bottled. Reddish brown colour with small beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel malts along with some slight yeast. Flavour is herbs, yeast and some sweet malts. Not very exciting.

Amber color, good creamy off-white head, some lace. Not much aroma to talk about: some barley and ash, when it warms up, some berry-like sweet notes. Sour, herbal beer - pale bock? Not much bock in this brew. More like sour ale with some papery and spicey/herbal flavors.

Hazy brown with a red hew & white head. Malty caramel & yeasty. Spicy slight sour mouthfeel. Nutty & earthy. OK, but a bit overcarbonated!

0.25l bottle from the Hopdevil, Zagreb Poured a lovely dark orange-brown colour with a medium sized beige head that went away at a medium pace. The nose is almost completely one dimensional, some lactic like, maybe caramelly or corianderish spice owns it completely, leaving only some room for a trace of malt to show itself. The taste is damn empty, somewhat sourish and dry, some lemony hop and the same spice as in the taste. Somewhat pleasant and appealing crap, but still crap. Obviously neither pale nor a bock. Ah, well. The cheapest they have and it’s obvious why.
