Draft at GL. Pours a golden yellow body with a fluffy white head. Fruity esters of banana, bubblegum, and apple. Some light floral hops with wheat and oats to finish.

Objectively speaking: 12oz of solid, spicy, hoppy witbier, bought at Bello Vino in Ann Arbor.
I like: Quite aromatic witbier. Scintillating golden hue. More hops than most which gives an impression of freshness. Herbal, floral finish accompanies the soft coriander and tea-like nuances. Fruity palate never ventures overly in acidity, staying cerealic and wheaty, but more of in the texture than actual flavours. Medium-bodied, leafy, grainy, milky coriander fits here better than in most because it’s not lemon juice and actually shows hop guts.
I dislike: Quickly fading white head.

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.

From bottle. Part of May beer tasting event. Pours cloudy golden color. Aroma is heavy on herbs and spice Banana and vanilla notes. Strong finish. Excellent American witbier.

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.
