Can: Poured a slightly hazy golden color ale with a nice foamy head with OK retention and light lacing. Aroma of coriander and spices with light funky notes. Taste is also a mix of coriander, light spices and funky notes with a dry finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. Easy drinking Belgian ale with indeed complexity from spice mix.

Not that good but then again I don't love tequila and lime shots. Tangy finish with salt and tequila. Booze kind of takes over Gose here. Tap at Aslin 4th.
