Can. Pours a hazy carrot colour and doesn't throw a head. Nose of briny fruity carrot. Palate is light and fairly smooth, decent fine minerally carbonation on the back end. Bonkers gose! All elements are obvious and somehow meld together. Floral but slightly tart lemon into soft carrot and well integrated vanilla. The blood orange sits slightly behind. A nice level of Gose brine runs throughout and keeps the sweeter elements in check and is very obvious on the semi dry finish. Tasty! Drinkable! Bonkers!

Can... can't rember where I got it though. Aroma combines the citrus with vinous and spice. Hazy neon carrot orange. This foamy white head soon recedes. The carrot and vanilla smooth out the citrus and vinous elements. Ends up sweet and sour. Although it's the sourness that wins out. Medium-heavy bodied. Oily. Flat-average carbonation. Long dry astringent finish. Hmmm... Nice. But it's not making me wish I had another. Could have been hype over substance however it does work.

On tap at Brewdog Lothian Road, pours a cloudy peachy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings tons of orange and vanilla, with a subtle earthiness from the carrot. Flavour is sour, with lots of tart carrot, a little orange, and vanilla. Puckering, earthy and bracingly sour. Weird idea and just an odd product. Meh.
