Great Lakes Holy Moses White Ale

Brewed by Great Lakes Brewing Company
Style: Belgian White (Witbier)
Cleveland, Ohio USA

12 oz bottle. Pale yellow gold body with a fluffy white head. Aroma of wheat and corn, with just a hint of citrus. Flavor was crisp and lemony with a strong wheat taste and spiciness. Not a bad beer, but not my cup of tea.

The Aroma has a slight citrusy hint..the hops smell about right for a white. The beer is a pale yellow, very clean and clear, the head is full and frothy and white. The nose of the beer has a distinct clove flavor, the body is smooth and is highlighted with the citrusy hint from the aroma. The finish is clean and quick. Not a bad beer, a bit more bitter then it needs to be.

Hazy light hay yellow. Perfumy orange and citrus. Plentiful corriander spice, floral, and orange peel. I like the added strength of corriander and a bit of zesty tartness. The wheat lingers dry on the palate. Could use more balance.

Draught pint at the brewpub on 4/8/06 with SuIIy
Extremely bright, deep golden-hay yellow, very heavy cloudiness. Lots of pils malt, and wheat. Head is medium to large and snow white, with moderate retention and fair lacing.
The nose gives off a dry lemon scent that is quickly followed up by softer wheat and honey notes. Spicy coriander strikes back, with light bitterness almost, and a light soapy character is noted on the end. Light and fluffy nose is fairly complex, but a little heavy on the coriander, leading to a bit too much dryness and overshadowing of the malt. But it’s only a marginal problem, as the beer is well-malted. As it warms, citrus zest gives an invigorating tartness that plays well wtih the honey. Fresh yeast doughiness is notable as well.
The flavor is quite spicy as well, with tons of dry coriander, nipping at the palate. Medium-large bubbles explode all over the mouth releasing honey-sweet malts, soft wheat notes and giving way to flowery, herbal notes of lemongrass and coriander. Strong, supportive mouthfeel shows a good deal of residual sweetness, but not too much. Bananas are very tame, and though the coriander is a bit too zippy, leading to too much dominance on the end, the beer is still refreshing.

Light yellow color with a thin white bubbly head. Aroma is flowery with spices and some orange. Flavor is light and floral with a yeasty finish. Easy to drink but has no defining qualitys.

Pours a cloudy golden color with a large white head. Aroma was of grass and citrus with some spices and yeast. Flavor is of spices and citrus with some orange bits as well. Pretty decent though mainly because its real easy to drink.

Pours hazy gold with a dense, two-finger, white head. Coriander dominates the aroma, backed by yeast and light biscuity malt. A lot of spice in the flavor, alongside some lemon zest. Decent, but kind of boring.

#900 Bottle. Mom brought this along with her visit.
Aroma was a spicyand slight fruit detectable. Hazy yellow body with big whie creamy head, with good lacing Flaor had a zesty, tangy orange fruit to it. Zesty feel in the bady of beer kept this one from being uneventful. Easy drinkable beer on plate.
