Emulating a classic margarita, this tart ale is brewed with real agave nectar, lime juice, and sea salt. A stay inside Casa Noble Anejo tequila barrels perfects this libation.

I bet this is an old bottle, can't locate any date or code on it. OH WAIT, now I see its bottled in April of 2019! Quite dark brown brown but not black. Lots of gunk on the bottom of the bottle. No head. Nose is a weird sweet mild vinegar aroma. No head. Initially no carbonation to speak of on the palate but after it sits for a while on the tongue, I'm getting a slight warming sensation with a tad of nifty sizzle. Yes, a real boozy bomb and the alky warming effect is increasing. This is a real ass kicker. Has me thinken of some rude ass wheat wines I've drank before, whew. Not cloying but I am just super curious about what the recipe is for this monster. The middle is really nasty. Heavy alky laced raisins plums and some other rotten cherry alky bullshit. How this is classified as a gose? WTF? Near the end of the glass there is all this dirt er sumthing in the bottom, must be the dregs of yeast. I think I'm getting dizzy. Oh my frontal lobes, which are responsible for decision-making, planning, and impulse control. I think I'm headed to poor judgment, impaired coordination, and increased risk of accidents. And my poor hippocampus, which is involved in memory formation. Mood changes ahead. My neurotransmitter levels are leading to feelings of euphoria, relaxation, or aggression. There, you have it. This is no gose in any form of the style. Is there a style for happy bullshit? BLAH.

Hazy orange color with a medium ivory white head that recedes quickly to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of lime, oak and tequila. Medium to full body with flavors of salty lime, oaky tequila and malt. The finish is tart with a lime aftertaste. Decent overall.

I know I like to shit on this brewery sometimes for their funky concoctions, but truth is they can make regular beers very well. Which is probably why I call them out - they make way too many beers that don't taste like beer. Now often, they amaze me as they can make these weird flavors taste good in beer, and make them taste authentic. But also, it's usually nothing more than a sip and oh, that's neat before you want to move on. Can you drink a pint of one of those weird sweet flavored beers? Fuck no. Now on to the current rating. The Margarita Gose falls into their concoction category. So it is one of those oh, it's neat, tastes like a margarita, now back to beer reactions? Hell no it isn't. This is some awful shit right here. Sour with weird lime flavors, strange bitterness, vomit-esque finish. Two sips. Then shared two sips with others, who equally hated it. Then a third sip to confirm what I was tasting. Then down the drain. Guess what - I'll take the blame for wasting $15 on a 4-pack from a brewery known for making stupid fucking beers. But also guess what - this is the last time I spend any money on Funky Buddha. Fuck you assholes.

Refrigerated 12 oz. brown bottle poured into a glass. Orange with off-white head. Aroma is margarita, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is margarita, tequila, and some lime. Pretty heavy for me.
