Sample at SBWF 2017. Slightly hazy golden with a white head. Aroma of citrus, hay, some malt and hops. Easy to drink with a rather bitter finish.

Sample at SBWF 2017. Brownish with a small head. Aroma of light roasted malt, bread, chocolate and some caramel. Similar taste. The body was medium.

355ml bottle into shaker. Nose of grass, earthy hops, lemon pepper and toffee. Light body. Hazy amber with light carbonation, thin white head. Bitter taste with long lemon finish. The lemon at the end tends to overwhelm the IPA underneath.

Bottle at Hill Tavern. Pours clear Amber brown with a decent white head. Aroma is grass, malts, grain and raspberry. Taste is dominated by sweet raspberry syrup, with a little grass and malt mellowing the sweetness out but not very will. Not the best.

Ein deutscher Bock in Alligator-Haut, ich bin gespannt. Optisch schönes Bernstein. In der Nase Keks, Trauben. Im Trunk Feuerzangenbowle, ehrlich, süß, Weißwein, leicht alkoholisch, bisschen Karamell. Ganz okay, dürfte aber deutlich aromatischer sein.

Bottle. Surprisingly dark, near-black color with beige color. Aroma is root beer, ethereal sugars, mouthwater, syrup, and apparently this distinct root beer flavour is wintergreen. Taste is the same, lots of mouthwater and herbs. Medium carbonation. Yeah, it indeed is an alcoholic version of root beer, so in this sense it is well-made - if you can handle that.

12 ounce bottle into tulip glass, best before 11/1/2017. Pours fairly hazy pale golden/yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense white head with great retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big tart lemon, key lime, citrus peel, pear, apple, white grape, coriander, sea salt, pepper, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, limes, spices, and pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big tart lemon, key lime, citrus peel, pear, apple, white grape, coriander, sea salt, pepper, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tartness; light fruit tang, yeast spiciness, and herbal/grassy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tart lemon, key lime, citrus peel, pear, apple, white grape, coriander, sea salt, pepper, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, limes, spices, and pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/bitter/spiciness balance, and zero puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from tart/bitter/spiciness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/acidic, and fairly crisp/sticky/saline balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.1%. Overall this is a delicious Gose! All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, limes, spices, and pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, and refreshing to drink with the modestly lactic/spicy/drying finish. Not a ton of Lacto, but definitely adequate. This had a really great vibrancy on the key lime additions, and they fit perfectly with the base style. A very enjoyable offering, and spot on style example.

12 ounce bottle into pint glass, best before 10/25/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pale golden/yellow color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of big juicy/tart/tangy blueberry, peach, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance of blueberries, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast notes; with great strength. Taste of lightly juicy/tart blueberries, peach, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness. Light herbal/grassy hop bitterness and blueberry tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of lightly juicy/tart blueberries, peach, pear, apple, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, grass, light pepper, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of blueberries, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/tartness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Clean finishing. Minimal dryness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, and slightly tangy mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.4%. Overall this is a nice fruited wheat beer. All around nice robustness and balance of blueberries, pale malt, and light earthy hop/fruity yeast flavors; very smooth, clean, and refreshing to drink. Very flavorful for the ABV. Some nice fruit/malt balance overall, just wish that the huge juicy/tangy fruit character of the nose carried over to the flavors. A nicely enjoyable offering.
