Pours a bright, hazed, fluorescent yellow. Small white head. Scent is bright, citric, mild minerality from what I presume is the saltyness. Taste is full, mildly tart, fresh citrussy zests. Doughy, mild on the salts.Decent.

Can from Geers. Hazy yellow, small, frothy, white head. Aroma of starfruit, physalis, passion fruit, mandarin, lime zest, yoghurt. Taste has sour starfruit, lime & mandarin; lemon & softly lactic acid note over wheaty maltiness. Floral hoppy finish, more sour fruit, passion fruit flesh, bit dry & salty. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. NIcely minerally and refreshing.

Draught. Probably brewed @ the Brew Society Good white head over lemonjuice-coloured beer. Spicy herbal, faintly mineral, lemonjuice, lime. Again lots of lemonjuice, not only in the visual aspect. Buttermilk, very mild lactic acid. Not very mineral in the taste, but even stylewise it isn't disturbing at all. Refreshing, spritzy, light body, very light acidthinning. Nice!

Gose as interpreted by this progressive Brussels client brewer, with thick and frothy, ‘Brugse kant’-like lacing, stable head and cloudy straw-yellow blonde robe. Aroma of raw cucumber, dusty coriander seed, fresh wakame, sourdough, peanut peel, green apple, white bread. Crisp onset, lactic-sour but mellowly so, fruity aspects of green pear, Granny Smith apple and cucumber, smooth and slightly soapy wheatiness, sourdough effect with softly drying lactic tartness and gently spicy coriander seed; aspects of gherkin and pickled lime in the finish but again, mellowly so. A thyme-like herbal hoppiness also appears but remains very low in bitterness. Fresh, ‘pale green’ crispness in the finish with just that subtle pinch of saltiness – quite different from the sometimes complete rocks of salt some craft brewers throw in their Goses. This one adheres closely to the German roots of the style at least in its basics – adding a selection of New World hops, unnecessarily if you ask me, has not really been able to alter that general impression. Therefore I say: Goseanna!
