You know what sunshine makes us think of? Tacos. You know what tacos make us think of? Margaritas. So, we made a tart wheat beer, added kaffir lime leaf, key lime, orange, and pink Himalayan salt. All it's missing is the two hour wait for the Big Star Patio. And tacos.

Reviewed from notes.
Can to stange.
Appearance: semi-hazy yellow color with a one finger white foamy head dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemon acidity, lacto-ish, sour-ed wheat and lime
Flavor: takes the prior noted aromas to blend tart and sour and add in the saltiness for a great quality; finishes with lime, lemon and salt
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, the tart and sour tones are there but more or less just noted as they do not distract on how the beer flows on the tongue
Overall: nicely done gose I would return to.

16oz can at Chicago Theatre. Pretty solid - been awhile since I last had a Gose. Quite decent

On tap at Off Color - The Mousetrap, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out light lime, salt, and a touch of lacto. Flavour is full of citrus, lactic acid, gentle salt, and a subtle tequila character. Citrusy, lactic and coriander in the finish. Well-balanced and well-constructed. Very good.

Why does this pair well with tacos? It's sour, numbing & astringent dumb-asses. it does taste good though. On tap @Gb's in Orlando. Jellied, light gold, frothy pour. Savory, anticipating salty nose; floral. Crispy, floral, sort of sweet, faint lime bitterness, saltier than expected. Very tasty nonetheless. A bit slurry, but with ample co2. Cheers.

On tap at the brewery. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is sea salt, lime zest, wheat. Slick body, lime, orange zest, light salty finish, very good.

17 September 2022. At Tapster Wicker, Chicago. Shared with the lovely Anke!
Clear yellow, small, white head. Aroma of lime juice, ripe starfruit, wheat, kiwi, salt. Taste has sour lime, mandarin & kiwi over wheaty maltiness. Tart, citric finish, salty-minerally. Medium body, oily texture, soft carbonation. Balanced Gose, quite good.
