Can was 2$ from vintage. Has a nice champagne pour. Thick pink head. Taste is some fruit and much less sweetness than I was expecting. Taste is ok if not a little dull. Good co2. Not too tart, just into the tart range. Yes, perhaps gose but lacking the salt. Sea salt? IDK

Can. Blueberry, salt, sour milk, and hay aroma. Purple amber with small head. Mildly sweet blueberry, wheat malt, light salty, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Not bad.

Draft. A- Berries. A- A- Berries, wheat, sweet. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, sweet finish. O- Lots of mixed berries. This hardly tastes like a gose and more like a wheat or fruit beer. Not a fan as it's too overloaded with berries to taste anything else.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 8/14/2017. Pours lightly hazy reddish/pinkish/orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, pear, green apple, melon, red grape, sea salt, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, blackberries, sea salt, and moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of juicy/tart/tangy blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, pear, green apple, melon, red grape, sea salt, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light peppery yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy blackberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, pear, green apple, melon, red grape, sea salt, wheat, cracker, herbal, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, blackberries, sea salt, and moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from tartness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, moderately grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic, and lightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.6%. Overall this is a delicious gose. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, blackberries, sea salt, and moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the mellowly tart/tangy finish. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Nice levels of authentic berries with balanced Lacto; solid pale/wheat malt backbone, and not overly salty. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Subtle dark red color with a fine head. Ok lacing. Ok intensity in the aroma. Medium body and an average carbonation. Nice fruity, mild salty and balanced lactic flavor. Nice tasty beer.
