Bottle share: clear gold with a small head. Aroma is berries and fruit. Taste is rather malty. Doesn't have the crispness you really want in a gose. Light sweetness. Meh.

12 ounce can into tulip glass; no can dating, but it a recent release. Pours slightly hazy reddish orange/copper color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and rocky off 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 big juicy/lightly tart red raspberries, lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, passion fruit, currant, red grape, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, pepper, pine, toasted bread, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, raspberries, lemons, and moderate bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big juicy/lightly tart red raspberries, lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, passion fruit, currant, red grape, mango, melon, citrus peel/zest, pepper, pine, toasted bread, light caramel, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness; and light fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of juicy red raspberries, lemon, orange, grapefruit, peach, passion fruit, currant, red grape, mango, melon, citrus peel/rind, pepper, pine, toasted bread, light caramel, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, raspberries, lemons, and moderate bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero lingering hop astringency after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, and lightly resinous/rindy/acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an excellent fruited IPA. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, raspberries, lemons, and moderate bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink, with the modestly bitter/drying finish, never aggressive. This uses Enigma hops to enhance the berry/dark fruit character. Great balance of juicy/dank hops, raspberries, and lemons; nice bready malt backbone, with minimal residual sweetness. A very enjoyable, unique, and well made offering.
