Undated can from the brewery drunk 12/10/24. Lightly-to-moderately cloudy, deep cherry cough drop. Large, cherry-to-white head, good retention. Creamy, nutty wheat, tart cherry, fruity, lots of skin tannin, with black pepper and some buttery diacetyl which doesn't come across unpleasant or problematic. Though perhaps dulls the brightness somewhat. Low lactic character, per the series. Never punchy. Oh man, that's incredibly well-done cherry. Rich juiciness, lightly tart, lightly peppery. Again, not too lactic, not punchy. Light salinity, excellent wheat character, nutty, creamy, chewy. I think, perhaps, I have mistaken it for diacetyl in the nose, as there doesn't seem to be any diacetyl here whatsoever. Another knockout from this gose master.
