Ridiculously hazy, super pink coloured body that looks exactly like the flesh of a guava - this seems to be guava juice/nectar with a nice frothy tan head. Aroma of salt, brine, alcohol, wheat, coriander seed, bunches of cucumbers and a hint of fruits - apples and pears are the strongest, but they have to compete with all the cucumbers. Light to Medium-bodied; Very nice cucumber and salty, briny flavour at first with a soft and very cooling bite from the coriander seed and of course the cucumbers, with a mild but noticeable hit of guava fruit and some softer melons. Aftertaste shows the cucumber, brine, salt, guava and fresh mild apple and pear notes with some mild spice quotient near the finish. Overall, a very nice, super clean and fresh fruit and soft flavoured fruit gose with a lot of nuanced flavours that hit nicely but is very easy-drinking, especially in the heat here in Florida, even during the wintertime here! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando (Orange Blossom Trail), Florida on 13-February-2021 for US$4,74 sampled in my hotel room a few minutes later here on 13-February-2021 in Lake Buena Vista, Florida.

Can. Pours a cloudy grapefruit with a light pink hue and a white head that dissipates quickly and completely. Aroma is full of cucumber with a hint of tart guava and earthy wheat underlying. Flavor starts with tart guava with a growing cucumber and a hint of wheat backing.
