16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 7/10/2019. Pours fairly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy passion fruit, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, melon, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, coriander, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of passion fruit, fruity/acidic yeast, coriander, salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of big juicy/tart/tangy passion fruit, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, melon, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, coriander, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness, fruit tang, and coriander spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart/tangy passion fruit, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, melon, berries, red/green apple, white grape/wine, coriander, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, white bread dough, light peppercorn/lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of passion fruit, fruity/acidic yeast, coriander, salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tartness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp/clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tartness, tangy fruit, and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately creamy/grainy/acidic/tangy/sticky, and lightly saline mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4%. Overall this is an outstanding fruited gose. All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of passion fruit, fruity/acidic yeast, coriander, salt, and moderate pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/drying finish; mellowly lactic/salty. Awesome balance of big juicy fruit and Lacto complexity; with a great clean pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding style example. Fantastic summer beer.
