From can to pint glass at Pita Kabob. Overt dank and slight tropical aroma. Slushy yellow with pristine white head that lingers as a collar and a full dusting as a cap. Flavor shows solid citrus and the yeast adds nice support.

Tap at Cap Tap. Pours hazy, somewhat dirty, gold with a white head. Aroma is fruity - seems mostly pale prunus with a touch of melon. Med body + a bit. Flavor is sorta juicy, earthy, sorta tropical - pineapple? Passion fruit? Plus pale stone fruits. Not too dry - juicy. Decently bitter. The earthy adds a tang. I like it.

Tastes like raspberry cheese and glass shards. RIP.

Starting to have a jamup in the beer fridge. Going to work tonight to help thin the herd. Reminds me of vanilla coke, so unsure what 2think.

16 oz can poured, picked up at City Beer, San Francisco, and brought home to share, but damnit the can says drink fresh, so I guess I gotta open it while I have the chance! Pours a glowing golden orange, plenty of rocky foam head, and a haze. Not the appearance I was exactly expecting from a dank, west coast advertised brew, but I dont judge. Smooth flavor, quite a bit less aggressive as I'd expect. As much as this brew falls outside of expectations, it is delicious. Amazing nonetheless. Juicy orange background. Tangy flavor that balances nicely with a citrus hop. Lots of refreshment. A bit zesty. Solid brew here. Officially on the radar for breweries to visit after just one brew.

750 ml bottle into tulip glass, bottled in 8/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy ruby red, light orange/pink/purple color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with solid retention, that reduces to a minimal spotty lace cap that lingers. Minimal spotty lacing on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, red wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic/light spicy yeast, blueberries, cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, and white bread; with lighter notes of peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, red wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy blueberries, fruit skin/seed, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, currant, red grape/wine, vanilla, cinnamon, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread, peppercorn, leathery/musty/lacto funk, red wine vinegar, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/light spicy yeast, blueberries, cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit balance; with minimal puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and medium body; with a smooth, moderately creamy/grainy/acidic/tangy/tannic, and lightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 6%. Overall this is an awesome fruited Gose. All around great complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic/light spicy yeast, blueberries, cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, easy, and fairly crisp to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish; not overly lactic/salty. Awesome balance of juicy/jammy blueberries, Brett/Bacteria complexity, and cinnamon/vanilla flavors; with a nice pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp acidic dryness. A really enjoyable offering, and impressive style example; but more of a pure sour/wild ale with the Brett/Pediococcus addition.

Tap at Cap Hop. Pours brassy gold with a foamy white head. Aroma of pale stone fruits, tropicals and a hint of pine. Malt? Med body. Flavor is slightly biting tropical - seems passionfruit tang. Might be some evergreen. Malt barely detectable for me. Fairly dry. Quite hoppy in a moderately biting way. Definitely bitter. Tasty and pleasing. Excellent.

Capped 750 from Cap Tap. Pours hazy dirty gold with a large, foamy white head. Aroma is lots of vanilla with peach hints. Med body at least. Flavor is vanilla, lactose and peach taking 3rd place. Neither dry nor sticky. There is a decent bitterness level, but hop doesn't really seem in it. Quite tasty tho.
