Can from Airforcehops, undated, from the brewery, drunk 8/21/24. Clear, bright copper-peach-bronze. Good-sized, off-white head slowly recedes to cover. Nose is pretty light all around and, at least, shows no punchy lactic character. Vague citrus, reasonable malt (white bread, biscuit) and nutty wheat. Clean. In the mouth I thought it was a wheat ale (well, a gose is, technically) until I saw it was a gose (also didn't realize the blood orange). Blood orange is a subtle flavor and it's not overdone with lactic acidity. But it's pretty malty and chewy with good attenuation. Would like some more tartness and I didn't find any salinity.

650 ml bottle purchased at CBC, Waterbury, VT. Clear in color gold. Aroma is Saline solution, citrus, acidic hints. Well, it is a gose. Salty as all get out. Saline to boot! The citrus is here but in a acidic way. Yeah, not subtle at all. Nice attempt.

Poured from bottle thanks Airforcehops golden orange with a nice thin white head. Aromas of citrus salty wheat and grass. Taste is salty citrus water like ocean drops with fruit. Meh. --- Beer merged from original tick of AB Kilbourn Grist Mill on 26 Nov 2016 at 22:53 - Score: 6

This was poured into a pokal.
The appearance was a subtle hazy burnt crisp yellow to orange color. Quickly dissipating finger’s worth of head. No lacing.
The smell started off with sweet blood orange with a sour-ed wheat meshing in underneath. Low salinity. Slight citrus, subtle grass.
The flavor combines all of the previously mentioned flavors with a slight sticky sweet to sour aftertaste. A tad more wheat comes in as it warms, and not necessarily so sour (I don’t mind, but different, definitely). Leans dry sour on the finish.
On the palate, light to medium bodied with nice saline content providing an ample amount of balanced sweet to sourness.
Overall, good gose for the most part, but part of me wants to say the wheat portion of this wasn’t fully sour-ed. Hmmm...I’d still have this again, but it actually does sit a tad heavier than expected.
