Pours a clear pale gold color. Nose has some coriander and other spice to the aroma. Very sweet. The flavor doesn’t overpower with the sweetness. Has a fruity blueberry coriander spice to it. Not really a whole lot of body. I’m not a huge fan of this style, but this was decent.

Not very striking or impressive. Unappealingly thin palate. Very light coriander and hardly and orange in the flavor.

Pours clear golden, white head. Aroma is grainy, hoppy with spices. Taste, light chamomille aftertaste, very sweet beer. Robust spicy notes, sweet sugar. Overall good presence of grains, smoothness of the mix of spices and herb (chamomille).

Very nice white. Spicy, lively on the tongue, moderately carbonated, pretty in the glass. Taste is of coriander, bananas and other floral notes.

Great Lakes Holy Moses White Ale is a hazy, light golden ale that’s highly sparkling. It has a small white head that fades quickly. The aroma is of lemon and wheat, with just a hint of banana bread. It smells like a Wit should. It has a light, maybe medium-light, body with a crisp, clean finish. It has a lemony flavor with a fruity wheat note. The finish is lightly bitter and it’s well balanced. It has a clean taste-- a little hoppier than most Wits I’ve had. It tastes like there may be Fuggles in there.
