Deep, perfectly clear peach and copper coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall just-off-white head that fades very quickly and leaves exactly nothing on top. Aroma of lime, salt, tequilla, astringent grain and a dash of funk from the yeasts with a dash of wheat and fresh coriander seed on the finish. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong funky malt flavour that shows some biscuits and grasses and very little else, aside from noticeable sale components along with a dash of sweetness from fruit at the end. Aftertaste shows some very light floral and grassy flavours with perhaps more sweetness and brine than I expected and definitely way more of a pure tequilla note that I'd like to talk about, but somehow goes down relatively easily. Overall, a decent enough beer, but nothing great nor worth searching out, even if you like goses - this is poor throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 22-September-2018 for US$1,69 sampled at home in Washington on 10-September-2019.

Mild aroma of key lime. Pours clear amber with a thin white head. Tastes much like I would expect a gose to taste like, salty and garnished with a fair amount of lime. Palate is fairly simple, allows one to taste the lime on their tongue and explore the elements of a gose. Not particularly drinkable but still a very good beer.

Tap at Yardhouse Legacy Place. Lighter gold pour. Nose is lime and some salt. Only minor saltiness, wheat, lime, pineapple. Ok

12 oz. can. Lightly hazy golden appearance, low carbonation. Nose has mild lime, mild wheat, and ocean salt. Flavor has a weak malt backbone with some lingering lime in the finish. Salt is low and the sourness is also mild. Flavor wise, Harpoon played it safe. Nothing to over-the-top here. It is better than I was guessing it would be.
