Draft. Gin and light lemon/watermelon malt aroma. Pale yellow with minimal head. Sweet gin, melon, lime, wheat malt, and light salty flavor. Body on the light side. Nice gin flavor without overwhelming the base beer.

Can: Poured a bright blonde color ale with a nice foamy head. Aroma of sweet Belgian malt with light fruity undertones is OK. Taste is a mix between some sweet Belgian style malt with light fruity notes and some light herbal hops notes. Body is about average with good carbonation. Simple enjoyable beer with limited character.

Can: Poured a pink color Gose with a medium foamy head with OK retention. Aroma of cranberry and tart notes is pretty nice. Taste is a mix of tart cranberry with subtle lime notes and some lactic acid notes also perceptible. Body is about average with good carbonation. Solid beer with real good refreshing factor and just enough complexity.

16 oz. can, from StFun, and shared with some friends. Bright purple and red color, with a small, bubbly head. Lots of bubbles, like a soda. Nice aroma of cranberry juice, saltine crackers, tequila, lime juice, and soy sauce. Sweet and fruity, with a sharp, tart, and acidic finish. Light body, crisp, very acidic, with a good bit of carbonation. This is an aggressively fruited gose, and the cranberries add quite a nice aroma.

Can. A- Cranberry, lime, funky, Brett, tart, plastic. A- Dark pink color, hazy liquid, pink head. T- Cranberry, tart, sour, Brett funk. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, O- Not sure how I managed the first rate on this one. Interesting and good. The cranberry is the star here complimented by a ton of Brett. Most would disagree with me I’m sure but I think it could be even better if the Brett was a lot more subtle. Not getting much from the sea salt and the lime just kind of adds to the tartness. Also normally not a fan of pink brews but this one looks great. Overall, a tasty thirst quencher, but a little heavy on the Brett for me.
