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.

Draft at The Wren on the Danforth. Pours hanging-out-on-a-airplane-wing cloudy as you would expect, a murky gold-orange. Taste is sweet malt, resinous hops, with a little pine. Mild peach is there too. Sweet battling aserbic. Little thin but overall not bad.
