Draft. A- Tart, salty, lemon. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Alcohol, sour, tart, citric acid, sharp. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, boozy finish. O- My first Imperial Gose and the alcohol bite is definitely there. Not enough flavor to take away from that booziness it has. Okay, but a bit too sharp and forward.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but was just released. Pours slightly hazy golden amber color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with great retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape, coriander, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, coriander, sea salt, and pale/wheat malt notes; with good strength. Taste of tart/sour lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape, coriander, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate lactic tartness and yeast/coriander spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, orange, peach, pear, melon, red/green apple, white grape, coriander, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, coriander, sea salt, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/spiciness balance; and zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tart/spiciness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/acidic/sticky, fairly crisp, and lightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an excellent gose. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, coriander, sea salt, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the mellowly acidic/spicy/drying finish. Not overly lactic or salty. Perfectly balanced between Lacto, coriander, salt, and pale/wheat malts. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example for an imperial version.
