backlog. Pours a reddish color with a small head. Raspberry dominates the aroma and flavor. There's some nice tartness and it's a bit herbal. Fairly good overall.

Raspberry, cucumber, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Pink amber with small head. Mildly sweet raspberry, cucumber, biscuit malt, light salt, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Good body. Very nice.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, bottled on 4/23/2019. Pours slightly hazy medium orange/amber, light reddish color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with great retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, cucumber, mint, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light peppercorn/lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of raspberries, lemon verbena, cucumbers, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy raspberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, cucumber, mint, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, light peppercorn/lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and herbal/grassy bitter/spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/sour raspberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, cucumber, mint, peach, pear, melon, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, herbal, floral, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, peppercorn, lacto/musty funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, lemon verbena, cucumbers, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/sourness, tangy fruit, and bitter/spiciness balance; with minimal puckering flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic/saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.5%. Overall this is an excellent fruited Gose. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, lemon verbena, cucumbers, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/clean/refreshing to drink with the moderately acidic/tangy/drying finish; not overly lactic/salty. Great balance between juicy/vibrant raspberries, lemon verbena, cucumbers, salt, and lacto complexity; with a nice clean pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness from crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example as expected. Not overwhelming on any aspect.
