Reviewed from notes.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: murky dark orange to amber color with a quarter finger's worth of some foam with some big bubbles inside all of which die off at a decent pace and no lace is left
Aroma: lemony to pear to guava sweet and tart notes with some lacto/yogurty tones and some salt
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fair tart to sweet to semi-salty quality; finishes meshing those noted fruits together and a pinch of salt in there
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also some salty & tart nicks to the tongue - nothing overbearing
Overall: BBC might say this is not a smoothie style beer but it's also not a true gose. However, I don't mind this as a fruited tart ale with some salt thrown in it.

Tasty enough if fairly basic. Mellow tangy lemon, vague berry, a little salty bite, low acidity, nips of creamy fruit yoghurt. Fine balance. Easy drinking.

Can. Pours a cloudy orange pink with small off white head that lasts. The aroma is guava, dough, sea salt. Thin body, strong salt, guava, wheat, pear, light tartness, very good.
