Part of a sour beer tasting and K&L Wines in Redwood City. What a great lineup for the night of eight legendary sours. Scores were recorded during the tasting but not detailed notes.

Murky pink coloured. Raspberries, salty, sour, fruity. Dry finish. Odd, not bad.

Can from Cap Tap. Pours very hazy purplish with a transient head. Tart berry aroma - raspberry mostly. Med body. Tart berry flavor - quite mixed. Raspberry does not dominate. Some salt in the finish. Dryish. Tartish. Even bitterish. Good stuff from a different viewpoint.

Can at Paragon. Pink, with a large pale pink head that fizzes down to nothing. Bright and fruity, lots of berry sweetness. A little tart as well. Floral notes. Berry over everything else. Pretty good.

Absolutely incredible sour. Draft pour to a tulip at Hop and Hound. Glowing reddish pink pour. Thin fizz head. Full of juicy red berry flavor. I'd say two thirds sour and one third sweet, do very close to perfect on that level. Red raspberry aroma. So much red and blue berry taste going on. Wonderfully sour. Love this brew.

16 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released locally. Pours very hazy ruby reddish/orange color with a 1 finger fairly foamy and fluffy light pink head with solid retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap. Minimal spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy raspberry, blueberry, bilberry, cherry, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, citrus zest, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red/grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, heather, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of berries, lemon zest, heather, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/tart/tangy raspberry, blueberry, bilberry, cherry, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, citrus zest, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red/grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, heather, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy berries, cherry, fruit skin/pits, lemon, lime, orange, citrus zest, peach, plum, pear, apricot, melon, red/green apple, red/grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, heather, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of berries, lemon zest, heather, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-full body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/grainy, fairly acidic/tangy/tannic, and lightly saline mouthfeel that is fantastic. Minimal warming alcohol for 6.7%. Overall this is an amazing fruited gose! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of berries, lemon zest, heather, fruity/acidic yeast, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and refreshing to drink for the ABV, with the mellowly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Fantastic soft feel, not overly lactic/salty. Amazing balance of super juicy/jammy berries, heather, and Lacto complexity; with a nice sized wheat/malt backbone against acidity. Light residual sweetness with lingering acidic/tangy drying. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. One of the best gose I've ever had; but it is an imperial, so pretty much was expected.
