On tap at Toronado Seattle, pours a cloudy orange with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of funk, along with orange and red wine. Flavour is dry and funky, with fruity funk, light acidity, and some barnyard notes. Quite complex, not really an authentic lambic, but nice stuff.

Draft pour at Brouwers Big Wood festival. Pours a golden color with a tint of red. A ton of candy strawberry flavor right up front. The runts candy flavor strawberry. Very sweet initially but decently sour flavor. Fresh strawberries aroma as well. This one is a little different from my usual sours. Light wheat flavor background but full of fresh berry flavor. Really good beer here.

Keg at Belmont Station, PDX, 08/11/14. Clear pale golden with moderate off white edgeing. Nose is pissy knickers, lemon rinds, citric tinged straw, light acidic wafts. Taste comprises dank straw, apple core, lemon rinds, pissy hay bales, subtle acidic leanings. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close. Solid refreshing ’Linner which helped ease the pain of my bottle shopping!

Draft pour at The Collective. Couple weeks back, rating from my notes. Pours a lighter golden color with a sweet citrus aroma. Bitter and malty up front with a quick transition to sweet mango flavor. Overall, a pretty decent beer.

12oz can. Murky thick orange-tan body. Quick fading head, leaves some soda-like residues. Woah. Big tart lactic tones, probably the sourest Gose I have tried. Biting, a slow sipper like a sharp gueuze. The sour tones are nice, but a little unruly and over-the-top. There is no balance or delicate mouthfeel here, this is a real hardcore sour. The salt adds to the dryness. This is a surprisingly challenging beer. White wine vinegar notes. I find Destihls sours to generally be over-innoculated, and this is a prime example.
