DRY HOPPED GOSE WITH SPRUCE TIPS
Super Spruce owes its immense pine aromatics to a double dose of resin. The new growth of spruce trees layered with Chinook hops create a complex profile of fresh pine that includes floral, citrus, cola, and bubble gum undertones. This unboiled beer is luminous and hazy with a grapefruit-like acidity that perfectly showcases the bright coniferous flavors rounded off by a touch of sea salt.

On draught at Tasty Beverage Co. Hazy yellow color with a medium white head that evaporates steadily to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of citrus, spruce and yeast. Light-bodied with flavors of tart citrus, floral hops, pine and yeast. The finish is salty citrus and spruce. Pretty good overall.

Bottle. Pours a hazy light gold with a thick white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma is full of juicy tropical fruit and citrus with a slight tartness and a sweet wheat backbone. Flavor is more sour with some tropical fruit, bitter citrus, a touch of oak and a sweet wheat backbone.

Bottle thanks to Cloin. It pours cloudy yellow - gold with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, pine, lime, sugared lemon, juicy action, grapefruit and creaminess. The taste is crisp, tart, juicy, lemon sherbet, limeade, minerals, good mouth - pucker and salty edge with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate, foamy carbonation. Delicious! Crushable.

Bottle split at Level 42, from a trade, 24/05/16. Hazed golden orange with a decent off white covering. Nose is pissy citrics, green berry zest, funk, gooseberry, pine, spruce, funky. Taste comprises funky green berry, kumquat, lime jus, sprucey wood, balsa touch, Medium bodied, fine to spritzy carbonation, semi drying close with a light puckering effect. Solid for style, lots of depth to this one, would have this refresher over and again !

Bottle - thanks to hoppycrop! Pours quite hazy straw, medium white head, dissipates quickly but leaves nice residual and lacing. Aroma is hella spruce and pine, sea air and lemon. Flavor is light tart, noticeable saltiness, super pine and spruce feel. Light body. This is really tasty. Shit.

This was poured into a stange.
The appearance was a hazy yellow color with a nice transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a rapid pace to fill a slim quarter finger’s worth of white foamy head. Spotty messy lacing sticks to the glass nicely.
The smell starts off with a sharp crisp sweet citrus bumping into the spruce. Leans more toward the lemon as it warms up.
The taste was mainly the same but ends up lacking a bit on the salt content. Mild sour lemon aftertaste leads into a quick dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a good sessionability about it. Carbonation seemed to hit appropriately. Sourness hits dryly on my tongue.
Overall, this was a pretty good gose though the saltiness seems to be lacking a bit. I like the spruce idea. I could see myself coming back to this preferably in the Summer.
