A Gurken Gose is the worst beer I’ve rated in 10+ years, so I’m having some trepidation about starting this one. To be fair to the beer, sour pickles in general are not my thing.
Gold with foamy, white head. Aroma promises pickles, coconut and lime, exactly as advertised, with the pickle aspects mercifully subdued. Taste is sour with the coconut sweetness leading the way. The sour pickle and lime take over the finish. One sip. Two. Pour some more. The pickle is just subdued enough for me to get by with this one, even if I would would prefer less (no) pickle. Love the balance though. Refreshing too. It’s actually a pretty decent beer. Good job, Orca.

Gurkiger Beginn, geringe Säure, Kokos kann ich nicht erkennen. Wenig kräutrig, minimal herb. Weicher Hintergrund, weiter Gurke, erfrischend, die leicht erhöhte Karbonisierung stört etwas. Nett! 8/9/10/8/11/9

One of the last bottles I got from Bierkiste. Cloudy Golden, low offwhite head. Citrus, coconut, pickle, yeast notes. Medium light, dry pickling juice, warming coconut oil with lime in the aftertaste.otherwise quick finish. Fun, but not one I need again.

Bottle. Golden, partly murky. Burned rubber, pickled. Round, oily, slightly sticky dry aftertaste. Bit flat. Not undrinkable.

Pretty good pickle Gose. The coconut water makes it more palatable and even more refreshing
