Quite hazy ruby and light violet coloured body with a very thin and fast-dying tan head. Aroma of sour cherries, oak, wood, grain, light alcohol, raisins, figs and a bit more crisp cherries - very nice and super fruity. Medium-bodied; Strong rich cherry flavour with a juice bite showing some subdued prune, pitted fruit and definite raisin flavours with a good dose of malt, light toffee and some grainy note showing some more alcohol and a punch of nutty and lightly earthy finish from the malt more than the fruits. Aftertaste is all about the pitted fruits, cherries, sour grapes, a dose of toffee and caramelised sugar and ending with a deeper malt finish and some almost artificial sweetness, but a lot of that and only a touch of the soured cherry notes. Overall, a fairly nice beer, but I'm not sure I see any 'gose' from this one, this is all about a heavy fruit beer, showing more caramelised sugars and malt than any brine or salt aspects - this is deep and strong, in a good way, just not one for the style. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 26-November-2016 for US$3,39 sampled at my house here in Washington as the first beer of this Independence Day holiday on 04-July-2019 while awaiting the fly-overs and fireworks in the capital of our fine country.

Bottle. A- Salt, coriander, subtle cherry. A- Reddish brown color, clear liquid, white head. T- Salty, coriander, mild cherry. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, salty finish. O- Not sure how this is over 8%. It sure doesn’t drink like it. Not much cherry but plenty of salt and spice. Good but I wanted more tartness and cherry.

Tart cherry and apple nose. Cloudy red, thin vanishing pink head. Tart cherry, cardboard on the back end. Medium body, moderate carbonation, somewhat dry, intense tartness.

Quite the pamphlet to wade through in the description up there, especially for such an unassuming beer. Tart cherry melds nicely with the gose, slightly sweet but turning dry and appreciably salty on the finish. Pretty color, and the alcohol is a boozy ghost creeping up on you in the dark. Surprisingly nuanced for a Southern Tier brew.

Tasting at Matt’s; 8.2% ABV
Bright red color, clean. Fresh juice aroma, mild, maybe some yeast (5.5). Dry mouthfeel, moderate acidity, mild grapey feeling, hint of cherry tannins later, and some bubblegum, some booze in the final.
Weird, not so pleasant.

Bottle - Sweet cherry. Clear red orange with a small white head. Tart and very dry with bitter cherry.

12 oz. bottle, pours clear reddish amber with a tiny off-white head. Aroma brings out some perfumey notes upfront, followed by cherry juice and restrained lactic notes. Flavour brings out tart cherry juice upfront, followed by fairly prominent coriander, and a touch of lactic acidity. Tart, juicy, and spicy (from the coriander); on the finish. Not overly refined; though interesting, it's not very impressive or overly pleasant.

12 ounce bottle from Wine Warehouse, 7/21/16. Clear pink with a thin wisp of tannish head. Aroma of wheat, sweet cherries and a hint of salt. The taste is very tart cherry, salt, bready wheat. Thin bodied, mild carbonation, lingering tartness.

Bottle. Crystal clear bright pinkish red color, light pink head. Aroma of dusty and earthy cherry. Taste is sweet and sour cherry with salt. Crazy abv for a gose.
