$3.65 pint can, WW. Beer with MSG? I'm in. Light orange, minor haze, off-white head. Orange peel, chili powder, green leaf nose. Orange peel, lemon juice, some heat going down from the chili powder (but the flavor is negligible). Nice balance. Enjoyable.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 1/1/2021. Pours lightly hazy deep golden amber color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice dense spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a light amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy lemon, lime, orange peel, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light chili/peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of orange peel, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, pale/wheat malts, and light chili powder notes; with big strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy lemon, lime, orange peel, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light chili/peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tang/tartness; light citrus peel bitterness and chili pepper spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy lemon, lime, orange peel, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light chili/peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of orange peel, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, pale/wheat malts, and light chili powder flavors; with an awesome malt/tartness balance, and no puckering flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tang/tartness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/acidic, and lightly sticky/saline mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%; with minimal lingering chili pepper heat after the finish. Overall this is an excellent gose. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of orange peel, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, pale/wheat malts, and light chili powder flavors; very smooth, refreshing, and fairly crisp/clean to drink with the mellowly acidic/tangy/drying finish. Not overly lactic/salty. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Great balance of orange peel, salts, Lacto complexity, and pale/wheat malts against acidity; with mild chili pepper presence. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressively spot on style example as expected.
