An Imperial Gose brewed with quince & Thai basil.

Taste: Like takes you on a walk through an orchard in bloom - with tastes leisurely meandering from a sharp almost yuzu-like quince acidity, floral apple blossoms, to sweet oven-baked pears. Balancing this out on the aftertaste is a gentle lingering herbal aftertaste from the Thai basil, giving hints of menthol and eucalyptus before giving way to the juicy sour finish.

Canned from Goblet. Murky dark orange-ochre body, off-white head. Saliva and salt mostly in the aroma. Lean taste, carrot, salty notes, some stone fruit - quince, jammy slightly, tart, but sadly, yeah, stale a bit, with next to zero basil. Oh well, not in great shape and form, but it's retired, so, yeah.
