mcberko (47797) reviewed Chipotle Lime Gose from Howl Brewing 4 years ago
Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
On tap at Howl, pours a cloudy peachy pink with a small white head. Aroma reveals a nice smoky chipotle character upfront, followed by lime and a touch of lacto. Flavour is very unusual, with lots of chipotle smokiness upfront and dominating, followed by subverted lime, and a lacto base. That chipotle works surprisingly decently, but it steals the show from the other elements. Pleasant.

On tap at Howl, pours an opaque, murky peach colour with a small white head. Aroma is full of tart, jammy plums, with figs to a lesser extent, and a bit of lacto. Flavour is jammy, with lots of plum, a touch of fig, and some lacto. Really pleasant plum expression. Good stuff.

On tap at Howl, pours a cloudy dull yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma is full of cantaloupe upfront, with a touch of floral notes from the rose. Flavour is bright, with lots of crisp melon upfront, followed by dry floral rose notes. Crisp and melony. Nothing complex but it's pleasant.

Has nice big foam and stormy carbonation in an off orange body, the aroma is dirty musty hops. Flavour is smooth hoppiness with a soft fresh lemon hint. Not overbearing. Nice IPA and rather straight ahead but gets the job done.

Darkish brown body and okay head, bready aroma. Flavour is more breadiness. Simple and straight ahead for a dunkel but also not too strong flavours.

Muddy brown and okay foam, smells like mushrooms and nothing else. Flavour is more mushroom. Can't pick out the lager. Not a bad idea but needs more layers to make it interesting.

Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 7 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6
There's.big earthy funky spice on the nose. The guy described all the non-hop spices to me but I don't remember them, smells quite unique, a bit like an old englishman's bedroom robe. Has cloudy reddish brown and small foam. Flavour is earthy spicy and heavy sharp notes. Dry, unique, spices pull out the satisfaction which I find odd. Mouthfeel is good and full but one of those spices is lingering too much. This is an interesting experiment but couls be pulled back here and there to make it really interesting.

Smells of nice murky yeasty grain, has milky white pink liquid. Flavour is good pine, juniper, hops, soft grain. Mouthfeel is a little thin. Nonetheless there are some good elements here.

Appearance - 4 | Aroma - 5 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 5.5
Smells of chewy barley sweetness with some fake pancake syrup. Has soft brown body and little foam. Flavour is okay sweetness with vague hop underpinnings. Full enough on the mouth. Pretty standard
