Slightly hazy, light golden-yellow colour with a big white frothy, bubbly head, good retention and loads of thick foamy-creamy lacing. Grassy hop aromas with some citrus notes. Milder tasting with the 4% ABV, but still with good hops and nice dryness in the finish. Very good bitterness for a low alcohol beer. Nice !

Pours a very slight hazed, very light-bright golden-yellow colour with a warm frothy big head, decent stay and minimal lacing. Aromas of citrusy limes over mild cereal malts, salt and some hops that might come out stronger because not as fresh as I should of had it. Kind of grassiness. Gets hazier as I pour. A nice sourness from the limes which is good. Not much saltiness. Dry finish. It's pretty good all-around for the style, but more Margarita than Gose.

Can from the LCBO that pours a clean, dark amber colour with a frothy light beige head, good stay and some spotted foam lace is left. Caramel malt aromas with some dark fruit notes, nuttiness and mild hops. These hops show a little more in the taste, blended with the caramel base and some roasted malts. Fairly hoppy-bitterness for a lager, especially a dark one. Again, some dark fruits and hints of molasses. Quite decent for the style.

Pours a lightly hazy golden colour with a peach hue. The head is big, off-white, quite long lasting and leaves lots of sticky lacing. Mild aromas of hops with nice floral, grassy and light cereal malts. The mouthfeel is nicely dry with a tad tartiness. The hops are fresh tasting with nice grassiness.

Pours a slight unfiltered, golden colour with a white cap, bubbly and decent stay, but light lace. Malty nose with some apple notes. Some cereal flavours with a tad of sweetness, but saved but the mild hops in the finish. Lightly dry and easy to drink. Decent for a lighter beer, but nothing too crazy.

Very basic sour, heavy on the citric acid tartness, light on whatever adjunct is meant to set it aside from the billion other sours on the shelves. Maybe a touch of light hibiscus/tea notes? Maybe? But it's really all about the lacto sourness, which is what you get. Eh. Passable.

Can that pours a hazy, peach-pink colour with a frothy-creamy white-pinkish head, good stay and lots of lacing. Beautiful hibiscus aromas with berry notes. The sourness comes out in the taste. Nicely balanced with flowers (hibiscus and rosehip). Some mild tart stays on the tongue. Well done.
