Capped 750 from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours hazy rose with a slight, pinkish head. Mild aroma of fruit with a hint of sour. Med body or so. It’s lightly sour, a little dark berry, and there might be a very light touch of barnyard/lactic. Seems so. Lightly tart. Rather mouth smacking. Finishes pretty much like the flavor at the start. Nice.

On tap at Bailey's, pours a hazy blonde with a small white head. Aroma is quite tart, with funky light fruits, salt and wheat. Flavour is very well-balanced, with dry tart funk, light salt, and wheat. Dry, wheaty palate. Excellent gose.

Bottle sample at a tasting at Levi’s place. Thanks Ariel. Cloudy golden with a white head. Aroma with yeast, citrus, flowers, mild spiciness, a hoppy note and a light earthy note. Dry-ish flavor with light sweetness, yeast, fruitiness, flowers and a light bitterish touch, somewhat citric. Medium-bodied with strong carbonation.

Sampled at Where the Wild Beers Are, 6/7/14 (I'm keeping this a little shorter than my normal rating style to help catch-up my backlog a little faster)
Orange-amber colored beer. This one has a fruity and lightly funky flavor to it. Solid one.

Sample at the DBLDP on 08/31/2014. Hazy dark red color with pink around the edges, and a medium pinkish-white head that evaporates quickly to an outer ring. Spotty lacing. Aroma of florals, berries and yeast. Light-bodied with a blackcurrant character and notes of yeast and herbal wheat. The finish is fruity with a berry aftertaste. Above average overall.

Bottle. Pours with a crystal clear (at least on the first pour) orange-copper hued body with a large and retentive, rocky white head. Aromas are mostly yeast driven with black pepper, isoamyl acetate, pear notes, spicy with moderate hop citrus, floral, light pine. Very light malt. Flavors are a bit carbonic, mineral, dry, floral, some toasted malty sweetness, light floral hoppy, a bit umami yeasty, peppery phenols. Very highly carbonated, brisk finish. A bit of malt spicy notes. Pretty decent but not as hoppy as I was picturing.
