Bottle. Pours thick light pale red with a small pinkish head. Aromas of blackberry jam, lactic, citrus, lemon. Taste is jammy as fuck, blackberries, lactic, citrus, lemony, grapes, light salty notes in the backend.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, 2016 vintage bottling on the cork. Pours lightly hazy ruby reddish orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, plum, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, fruit skins, pepper, oak, sea salt, hay, straw, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, light vanilla/red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. A bit of band-aid in the aromas as it warms, but not off putting. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, blackberries, wine barrel, and light-moderate pale malt/salt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, plum, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, fruit skins, pepper, oak, sea salt, hay, straw, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, light vanilla/red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and light yeast/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour berries, cherry, plum, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, fruit skins, pepper, wine barrel, sea salt, hay, straw, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, blackberries, wine barrel, and light-moderate pale malt/salt flavors; with a nice malt/sourness balance. Lightly puckering, but not astringent on sourness. Moderate dryness from lactic acidity, oak tannins, and carbonation; increasing through the glass. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately acidic/tangy/tannic/grainy, and lightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.8%. Overall this is an fantastic fruited gose style! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, blackberries, wine barrel, and light-moderate pale malt/salt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink; despite the increasingly lactic/tannic/drying finish. Really well balanced between fruit, wine barrel, and malt; with plenty of great well rounded funky Brett/Lacto complexity. Not as salty as I expected, but a solid amount there. A highly enjoyable offering.
