Play your hand right, and you too can enjoy Two of Tarts tropical gose with mango and passion fruit. Pouring bright golden orange with a glowing translucent haze, this gose with the unmistakable flavor of mango and passion fruit is slightly salty with notes of lemon and a crisp, dry finish. It’s sure to make a doubly pleasant citrus impression.

Very crisp and ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish just off-white head that fades quickly and leaves nothing up top. Aroma of crisp and slightly soured fruit notes with a light touch of malt and sugars here, without much else, aside from a bit of a dried note from grasses and hay, but this of course is about the tart fruit that does come out in the nose. Light-bodied; Very crisp and super understated malt profile that has a bit of the dryness, but no other real characteristics, aside from the tart strawberries and blackberries that come through with some lemon and dry cleanser like notes. Aftertaste shows some soft graininess without much else again, perhaps a dose of sugars and some hay, but no sweetness, malt, yeast or anything of structure. Overall, this is very easy-drinking, without too much pungency, depth or flavours aside from the fruit. Nice to try, but not really enough here or enough complexity to make this a good/great option. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Everyday Wines in Ann Arbor, Michigan on 02-August-2021 for US$2,25 sampled while hiking Shenandoah National Park on 09-July-2022.

Sample at GABF 10/05/2019, thanks to kathryneels for assistance with note-taking. Slightly hazy yellow-gold color with a thin white head that dissipates steadily to an outer ring. Short strings of lace. Aroma of mango, wheat and malt. Light body with flavors of mildly tart mango, salty wheat and bready malt. The finish is fruity with a mango aftertaste. Pretty good overall.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 9/2019. Pours moderately hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/sour/tart/tangy mangoes, melon, passion fruit, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, citrus zest, orange, peach, pear, red/green apple, white grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light peppercorn/lacto funk and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of mango, passion fruit, frutiy/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/sour/tart/tangy mangoes, melon, passion fruit, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, citrus zest, orange, peach, pear, red/green apple, white grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light peppercorn/lacto funk and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy mangoes, melon, passion fruit, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, citrus zest, orange, peach, pear, red/green apple, white grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light peppercorn/lacto funk and yeast earthiness on the finish for a short bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of mango, passion fruit, frutiy/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat 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 lingering tartness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/acidic/tangy, and lightly sticky/saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is an excellent gose. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of mango, passion fruit, frutiy/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish; not overly lactic/salty. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Perfectly balanced between juicy/vibrant fruit, and Lacto complexity; with a great clean pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected.

Cloudy yellow pour. It smells tart with tropical fruit. The flavor is enjoyably tart with lots of fruit, especially passion fruit, and some salt. It's refreshing and very tasty. Nicely done.
