The Aromas are wet grain, malt, and fruit. Flavors are sweet tart, Floral, fruit with good carbonation and body. A bit metallic in the Finish. Don't pick up much salt if any. Nice beer though.

Very interesting, it smells like a gose, but the honey takes away virtually all of the sourness. Something salty in the back remains, and maybe a hint of tartness. Heather adds herbality, lingonberries for the fruit, nicely balanced. Strange, but tasty.

Sporo kwasnosci lacto, takiej serwatkowej. Niemalo owocowosci. Niestety chyba ciut pawika. Za to zero kolendry. Leciutkie, chlalne, 3.4?

Bottle. Color: Orange red, no head. Aroma: Moderate sweet and sour, honey, hints of berries. Taste: Moderate to medium sweet combined with moderate sour notes, lightly to moderate salty and bitterness. Notes of berries (lingonberries, I presume, but I never tasted this berries before) and honey, herbal and flowery hints. Slightly lemonade-like notes. Under medium body, under average carbonation. Pretty unique taste, some complexity and good balance. Alcohol is well hidden. I like this Gose.

Shared bottle. Pours a murky bronze color with a small white head. Aroma and flavors of plum, berries, honey, funk, floral notes, a bit of salt. Strange, not like a traditional gose, but not bad.

Super hazy golden and raw honey, glowing amber coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of crisp soured and funky fruits with apricots, peaches, pears, plums, grass, yeast, bread, funk, oak and dried figs all noticeable - very funky, very fruity and showing a touch of alcohol as well. Medium-bodied; Deep assertive and astringent funkiness up front with a big dose of lemon and citrus along with a grassy dry note with some herbs and floral aspects, but the biggest note of all is all the fruit - berries, apricots, grapefruit, prunes and pears are all noticeable, but the funky qualities remain and are quite strong. Aftertaste shows the grain and funkiness with a good deal of bread/yeast and oaky dryness with a ton of fruits, soured qualities and alcohol still near the end. Overall, an interesting and exciting beer that shows a lot of flavour, perhaps too much, and a pungently funky quality that i'm not quite sure what style this was trying to be, but was neat to try, even though I wouldn't do so again at this price point and still wouldn't classify this as a gose at all. I sampled this 33 cL bottle purchased from Knightly Spirits in Orlando, Florida (Orange Blossom Trail) on 05-May-2018 for US$5,69 sampled less than a month later on 02-June-2018 at home in Washington.

Beer Table To Go, NYC bottle: pours a murcky peach red color with a white loose head. Aroma is lingonberries and herbs. Taste is a bit salty. Lots of lingonberries. Some sugar. Vague medicinal herbalness. Not a fan.
