A dash of salt. A touch of tart. That’s what makes this unique German-style wheat beer a seasoned professional at serious summer thirst quenching. With its glowing golden color, peach & citrus nose followed by a prickly mouthfeel that leaves a gentle tartness and a dash of salt on the palate, the Old Pro never fails to bring you back for another sip.

At a tasting, thanks, smallish creamy bubbly head, very cloudy, extremely pale yellow color, aroma of pineapple, sea water, yoghurt and very light herbs, flavor of peach, apricot, pineapple, shrubs and a salty hint, medium empathic sourness. Really good and highly enjoyable.

Got in a BIF from oline73. 12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 6/8/2016. Pours hazy golden straw color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass. Aromas of bit sour lemon, lime, grapefruit, green apple, white grape, sea salt, coriander, wheat, cracker, hay, straw, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast. salt/spice, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart/sour lemon, lime, grapefruit, green apple, white grape, sea salt, coriander, wheat, cracker, hay, straw, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Moderate tart/sourness and light peppery spice on the finish; with lingering notes of sour lemon, lime, grapefruit, green apple, white grape, sea salt, coriander, wheat, cracker, hay, straw, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, salt/spice, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a nice malt/sourness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Moderate dryness from sourness/acidity, and lightly puckering. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, acidic/saline, and fairly creamy/grainy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is an excellent Gose! All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, salt/spice, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink; even with the higher amount of acidity and sourness for the style. A very enjoyable offering.

Canned 4/7/16, drunk 7/24/16.
Light haze to this muted gold body. Small white head is thin and shows low retention.
Nice peachy fruitiness with moderate salinity, soft, creamy malts and biscuity, light wheat. Very solid with no flaw or alcohol.
Floral and lightly cidery, with soft lactic character, low carbonation and a good maltiness. Nicely attenuated. Not overly salty or sour and light and easygoing for a good summer quencher. Like the lingering lemon juice character...

12 oz. can thanks to AdamChandler. Cloudy yellow color, no head. Aroma is late citric acid sour wheat and mineral water.

The flavor shows mild levels of lemon, salt and lactic acid. The flavor follows the aroma with a mild level of citrus. The aftertaste has a low level of lactic acid. Lower levels of lemon juice and sour wheat.

Crisp clear golden and lightly caramel coloured body with a thin, fast-dying pure white head. Aroma of sour grapes, light malt, yeast, lemons, citrus, salt and a touch of cherries - very nice. Super light-bodied; Great super sour flavour at first with lemons, sour grapes, cherries, salt, yeast and funk all noticeable initially. Aftertaste shows some nice robust lemon, citrus, yeast, wheat, cherry, lemon and puckering sourness - very nice and surprisingly complex for such a light and unassuming beer. Overall, a very nice gose, perhaps one of the best i’ve ever had - a flavourful beer with not much alcohol and especially no body - which makes it easy to drink a lot of these, and that’s fine, given they have so much flavour and especially a lot of sourness. Definitely a nice beer worth trying to find and/or get if at all possible and you like the style. I sampled this 32 ounce growler fill (as well as a twelve ounce can from another store) purchased on draught from Whole Foods in Fair Lakes (Fairfax), Virginia on 16-July-2016 and had the last bit of the growler on 21-July-2016 for US$5,00 and it still stood up - in a very nice way.
