A traditional German sour wheat ale brewed with Maldon sea salt and toasted Indian coriander. Tart, fruity, and refreshing, Metric Systems exhibits a wheat forward malt profile and delicate salinity. This beer is kettle-soured from the addition of our house Lactobacillus culture, giving it a tangy and tart punch with hints of lemon rind and sour orange.

Tap @ Lamplighter CX. Misty yellow, foamy white head. Pretty decent gose, true to style, gently tart with mild lemon and lime notes. Good stuff.

Refrigerated pint can from mansquito poured into a glass. Hazy golden with very small white head. Aroma is light coriander, light body, lower carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is tart light lemon, coriander, and some brine.

From tap at the brewery. Hazy yellow color with white head that quickly disappears. Yeasty aroma, fruity, tart citrus, floral, spicy herbal. Light sweet and light to moderate acidic, lemonade taste. Light to medium oily body with soft carbonation.

On tap at Lamplighter, pours an opaque milky yellowy white with a small white head. Aroma is loaded with pithy stone fruits, salt and lacto. Flavour is quite salty, with lots of lacto, citrus and light pith. Very citric and salty. This is nice.

16 oz can from Redstone. (Stoneham location). Aroma is mild soured wheat, lactic acid, and subtle coriander seed. The flavor has a bolder lactic punch with salt and coriander. Maybe some mineral water hints. The body is thinner. It is about what it should be. But After half of the can, can't help but think something is a tad off.

Hazy and quite pale, has a bit of yeasty funk..not the good kind, more the yoghurty kind. Touch of salt.

Tap at the brewery. Pours clear blonde, no head. Smell is mildly salty, some zests ( rather hidden by the blending in) Taste is mildly tart still has a sweet side due to the zest. Mild saltyness. Bit ’hollow’ perhaps. nothing bad though, just needs that extra kick of complexity.

Draught at the brewery, 2/12/17.
Fairly hazy, drab, hay-colored beer with a thin white head showing moderate to low retention.
Nose is rather musty, with light salt, lots of bread and dough, plentiful lactic acid that is not terribly well-integrated. It smells gose-y enough, I guess but pretty underwhelming and with some mousey, almost dirty notes. Very thin and undermalted, it seems.
In the mouth it is indeed very thin, watery, light, extremely dry with some wheat-like chewiness as a saving grace. Lactic, lightly tart, lightly salty. Biscuity. Very straightforward, rather uninspired version but it’s passable.
