16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned in 7/2019. Pours moderately hazy deep ruby red/pink/orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, citrus peel/zest, peach, plum, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, lighter peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of raspberry, lemon, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, citrus peel/zest, peach, plum, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, lighter peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, citrus peel/zest, peach, plum, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, lighter peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberry, lemon, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with an awesome malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering sour/tart/tang and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic, and lightly saline mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an awesome fruited gose. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberry, lemon, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Very flavorful for the ABV. Not overly lactic/salty. Awesome balance of super juicy/jammy raspberry/lemon and lacto complexity; with a nice pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity for the ABV. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example as expected. Had it on tap previously, was just as good out of the can!

Draft and can pour at Ascension. Pours a bright, glowing raspberry red with a bit of white foam that lingers. Huge raspberry nose with some skin as well. Great body with bright, raspberry slushee notes. Lemon comes out as it warms. All the raspberry in this one. Great fruited gose from Ascension here.
