Draft at Shirlington location. Poured a totally clear yellow color with a small very light off-white head. Misses a bit of that salt water bite a gose should have. Just happy to see them attempt it though. A touch more sweet than it should be, needs a touch more acid. Not a lot, but just a touch to make it a bit more refreshing with a blast of flavor.

Poured a mostly clear ruby red color with a one finger slightly off-white head. Aroma was mostly light sweet malts, light grain. Not a lot of jalapeño to be perfectly honest. Mild green peppers in the flavor, but tastes mostly like the normal Pale Rider. Very mild heat. Not asking for it to be spicy, but lacks even a peppery roast.

Poured a vibrant yellow color with a medium sized, white head. Aroma was floral and earthy hops. Flavor was... interesting. Lots of dill notes, green onion hop character. Spicy hops. Earthy. Citrus.
