W4 Gose from Transmitter Brewing
10 years ago
8.1/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Location: 750ml bottle from Sparrow - Downtown, 8/12/16, an excellent one for my 50th Grodziskie/Gose/Lichtenhainer rating

Aroma: The aroma is full of sour wheat and spice, salty notes, lemon, lime, and grapefruit
Appearance: Murky orange-yellowish color with a large, fizzy head that dissipates pretty quick
Flavor: Much like the aroma, it drinks with a high salinity level, fruity, tart, and sour
Palate: Drinks pretty easy for a beer this sour, fizzy throughout, with a tart and dry on the close
Overall Impression: Quite a tasty one from Transmitter. Well balanced with the salinity, sourness, and fruity flavors. Salty+tart+citrusy --> The bottle actually sums it up pretty well for me.

6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Pours slightly hazed amber into a tulip. Significant white head quickly recedes to nothing. Sour berry and sourdough aromas. Sharp with strawberry and peach upfront turning to an abrupt mild funk finish.

S4 Saison Ale from Transmitter Brewing

750 ml bottle from Sparrow, 7/22/16. Pours an unclear golden-orange with a large, fizzy froth of off-white head and some drippy lace. Lots of spice and yeast, pepper, earth, some lemongrass, and a little peach. Nice overall mix of flavors here. Slightly overly carbonated, but otherwise it drinks pretty nicely. Finishes a little dry. Another quality yeast forward beer from Transmitter.

Tap at Tap and Mallet Hazy golden yellow with a huge rocky white head that persists. Spicy earthy with some nice hop or derived tropical fruitiness. Lightly sweet bready honey malt. Great brett saison.

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
750 ml bottle from the brewery: pours hazy orange with white head. Aroma is yeasty, hoppy, slightly fruity. Pretty bitter for a saison. Quite dry. Still substantial maltiness and body in there. Not really sure what the rice is doing up in there.

7.6/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 6 Overall 7.5
Super hazy golden coloured body with a very nice two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of grass, very light wheat, some citrus, a touch of sour notes and a good funky brett/lact note. Light-bodied; Nice funky wheat/yeast flavour with a good sour kick at first and a grassy/herbal element which shows well. Aftertaste shows a very nice and refreshing sour herbal finish with a good complexity and a nice dry finish. Overall, a very nice beer with super refreshing qualities, but a complex and enjoyable beer throughout - great on tap as well! I sampled this 12oz tulip on draught at Blind Tiger in New York, New York on 30-June-2016 for my birthday

S1 Mahogany Saison from Transmitter Brewing

5.8/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Shared 25.4 oz. bottle. Pours a dark brown with a light beige head. Aroma is dark fruits, funk, and spice with hints of red wine. Taste is similar with faint chocolate and coffee. Additionally, it has a sourness to it, but it’s not a tart sourness, but rather more like sour milk. It is most assuredly a unique beer, but one with its potential left unfulfilled.
