Brewed with Himalayan Salt, this Gose is tart, supremely drinkable and balanced with a complex fruit character. Crisp citrus and lemon-lime from coriander marries with our house Lactobacillus strain creating subtle notes of stone fruit and apricot in this hazy, sessionable sour wheat beer.

Pours a slightly hazy pale gold from a tap. Aroma is light wheat. Flavor is similar with a nice light tartness, citrusy. Good beer.

Couldn't wait to taste this as soon as I saw it. Very light pale. Creamy head. Friendly mellow nose. Taste is, tremendously simply cutting crisp brightness. Clean fresh delicious mildly tart fun stuff. Yummy, THIS BEER ROCKS. A fine example of a fine civilized old world european style. I should have bought a sixer of this. Finishes with the same cutting edge it started with. Gone already? BLAST. Soooo goood, clear to the last drop. Well done, actually comes across like a refined unflavored berliner.

Can from Belmont Party Supply. Hazy orangeish-yellow, head faded too fast for me to even see it. Aroma of doughy wheat, citrus, almost funky. The taste is lemonade, biscuity malt, salt, orange. Medium bodied, solid.

12 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 4/24/2017. Pours slightly hazy pale golden/ztraw color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin spotty lace cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart lemon, lime, peach, pear, red apple, melon, white grape, coriander, sea salt, wheat, white bread dough, light lacto funk, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, pale malt, and salt/spice notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart lemon, lime, peach, pear, red apple, melon, white grape, coriander, sea salt, wheat, white bread dough, light lacto funk, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Mild lactic tartness and coriander bitter/spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, lime, peach, pear, red apple, melon, white grape, coriander, sea salt, wheat, white bread dough, light lacto funk, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, pale malt, and salt/spice flavors; with a great malt/tart/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Lightly increasing dryness from tart/bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and light body; with a very smooth, fairly grainy/acidic, and lightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.2%. Overall this is a delicious gose. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, pale malt, and salt/spice flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink; with the mildly acidic/drying finish. Very flavorful and not watery feeling for the low ABV. Not as sour as I expected, but this is a spot on gose. Very well balanced fruity yeast/lacto, coriander, salt, wheat/pale malts. A very enjoyable offering, would be a perfect summer beer.

Can. Pours a light and slightly hazy straw color with a thin head and with those oddly lovely gose aromas... a whiff of sea air and a little bit of funky barn. I’m sitting here fairly happy until I take my first sip and I get that kind of flabby honey and dough presence that accompanies a Caribbean lager or something. The slightly tart presence comes through shortly thereafter, but I’m lost... adrift. My depression has hit a level that is now almost too much to bear. Err... sorry... that was a bit overly-dramatic. Still, it almost does have that corn lager edge up front and that takes away from whatever sour and salt might push through to the finish. The salt is subtle enough that I can’t pick it up and the sourness also needs a kick. As a gateway gose, this might be OK, but I just can’t find it interesting enough to reach that decision on my own at this point...

Fairly tame gose, a slightly tart, wheat-tinged middle meshing with a shitload of Himalyan salt. Never reaches much sourness, almost like a very bready kristallweizen instead of a gose, but it finishes clean and seems to be disappearing easily enough. Meh nose, good texture. Decent brew.

Can. Lactic lemon, biscuit malt, and straw aroma. Yellow with small head. Mildly sweet-tart lemon, biscuit malt, mild salt, and lightly bitter straw flavor. Nice balance and body. Very tasty.
