A lightly hazed golden gose with a thin white head. In aroma, nice tart lemon malt with light Brett, light lactic notes, light Epsom salts, very nice. In mouth, a nice tart yet sweet fruity malt with light lemon notes, lactic acid notes, pleasant and refreshing. On tap at Hired Hands.

650 ml bottle purchased at CBC, Waterbury, VT. Clear in color gold. Aroma is Saline solution, citrus, acidic hints. Well, it is a gose. Salty as all get out. Saline to boot! The citrus is here but in a acidic way. Yeah, not subtle at all. Nice attempt.

Draft, 4 oz glass, total clarity, fast dying. Aroma is green tea leaves, earthy, and floral. Caramel malt based, a tad bit much caramel. But the hop profile is decent; floral, earthy, tea.. bitterness is moderate. Decent, doesn’t become overly sweet.

Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a dark burnt red color. Muddled transparency. Thin white foamy head that dissipates mildly. Light messy sticky foamy lace.
The aroma started with sweet clean earthy, grassy and tobacco-esque hops firmly grasp some caramel and toffee malts.
The flavor glides between the malts and the hops decently, very smooth and balanced. Subtle crisp bitterness of the hops. Light tobacco aftertaste with a quick finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a really nice sessionable feel. Low carbonation yields quite a nice crisp smoothness about it.
Overall, I like it for me but with the heavy use of wet hopped cascade I can’t see a ton of Vermonters and non-modern APA drinkers will like. Also, seems almost reminiscent of an English styled one.

This was poured into an English pub glass.
The appearance was a dark brown color with a thin white to off white foamy head that quickly dissipated. Sly foamy sticky lace.
The aroma takes in crisp sweet grassy and earthy hops. Balancing nutty to caramel to toffee malt levels bounce on into some coffee bean and cocoa rich tones.
The flavor brings it all together nice and balanced, full and smooth. The aftertaste is semi-dry with a crisp nuttiness to it. Quick dry coffee to cocoa-ish finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable feel all about it. Carbonation runs nice and light.
Overall, nice American styled brown ale. Hops seems to hit just right against the smooth malt bill. Well done and I would have this again.

On tap at Vermont Tap house.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a soft hazy burnt yellow/orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Stringy lacing.
The smell had a clean sweet brisk corn malt. Slight lemon. Moderate amount of bready malts.
The flavor takes in a ton of the bready sweetness. Lingering bready malty aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Low carbonation.
Overall, nice pale lager that I would have again.

This was poured into a pokal.
The appearance was a subtle hazy burnt crisp yellow to orange color. Quickly dissipating finger’s worth of head. No lacing.
The smell started off with sweet blood orange with a sour-ed wheat meshing in underneath. Low salinity. Slight citrus, subtle grass.
The flavor combines all of the previously mentioned flavors with a slight sticky sweet to sour aftertaste. A tad more wheat comes in as it warms, and not necessarily so sour (I don’t mind, but different, definitely). Leans dry sour on the finish.
On the palate, light to medium bodied with nice saline content providing an ample amount of balanced sweet to sourness.
Overall, good gose for the most part, but part of me wants to say the wheat portion of this wasn’t fully sour-ed. Hmmm...I’d still have this again, but it actually does sit a tad heavier than expected.
