The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours hazy, dirty yellow with a white head. Aroma is lemon, a bit of sourness, and a tad of the funk. Taste is slightly sour and a wee bit salty as would be expected. Small amount of funk that is just about right. This is a simple gose, but a good one.

Cloudy, gold-brown with a large, frothy, off-white head. Slightly sour grain malt, bread, caramel aroma. Taste is toasty bread, toffee. Sweet, honey and grain. Just ok...a little plain, non-descript bittering.
