16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 7/10/2017. Pours lightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of juicy watermelon, tart lemon, lime, peach, pear, red/green apple, sea salt, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, grass, light lacto funk/pepper, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of watermelon, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of juicy watermelon, tart lemon, lime, peach, pear, red/green apple, sea salt, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, grass, light lacto funk/pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness; light fruit tang, bitterness, and peppery spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of watermelon, tart lemon, lime, peach, pear, red/green apple, sea salt, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, herbal, grass, light lacto funk/pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of watermelon, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tartness balance, and zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Moderate increasing dryness from tart/tangy/spiciness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, fairly acidic/sticky/tangy, and lightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a delicious gose. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of watermelon, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the mellowly acidic/tangy finish. Not as acidic as I expected, but definitely adequate. Very flavorful and never watery for the ABV. Authentic watermelon flavors with balanced Lacto fruitiness; nice bready pale/wheat/Vienna malt backbone, and not overly salty. No Jolly ranchers or cucumber notes from the watermelon, which I really liked. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

Bottle Bar East, Philadelphia: pours lightly hazy with a white head. Aroma is light funk, don't get much watermelon, some lemon and minerals. Taste is sour and fruity. Light salt at the end. Light and easy.

Sample at Kraft House No. 5 during the "Platform Beer Co. Tap Takeover" on 07/14/2016. The beer pours a clear pale golden color with a thin white head that evaporates quickly to a sparse outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of fruit, yeast and malt. Light-bodied with flavors of watermelon, doughy malt and yeast. The finish is mildly tart with a watermelon and salty citrus aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
