750 ml bottle into tulip glass, 2016 vintage bottling on the cork. Pours lightly hazy ruby reddish orange color with a 1-2 finger fairly dense light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big sour/tart/tangy blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, plum, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, fruit skins, pepper, oak, sea salt, hay, straw, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, light vanilla/red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. A bit of band-aid in the aromas as it warms, but not off putting. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, blackberries, wine barrel, and light-moderate pale malt/salt notes; with great strength. Taste of big sour/tart/tangy blackberry, raspberry, strawberry, blueberry, cherry, cranberry, plum, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, fruit skins, pepper, oak, sea salt, hay, straw, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, light vanilla/red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness. Moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and light yeast/oak spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour berries, cherry, plum, lemon, lime, green apple, red grape, fruit skins, pepper, wine barrel, sea salt, hay, straw, leathery/musty funk, wheat, cracker, red wine vinegar, and yeast/oak earthiness earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, blackberries, wine barrel, and light-moderate pale malt/salt flavors; with a nice malt/sourness balance. Lightly puckering, but not astringent on sourness. Moderate dryness from lactic acidity, oak tannins, and carbonation; increasing through the glass. Medium-high carbonation and medium body; with a very smooth, moderately acidic/tangy/tannic/grainy, and lightly saline balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 6.8%. Overall this is an fantastic fruited gose style! All around outstanding complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/funky/acidic yeast, blackberries, wine barrel, and light-moderate pale malt/salt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink; despite the increasingly lactic/tannic/drying finish. Really well balanced between fruit, wine barrel, and malt; with plenty of great well rounded funky Brett/Lacto complexity. Not as salty as I expected, but a solid amount there. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bottle sample off the back of a truck at The Funk Collective at BFS. Slightly hazy golden color, white head. Aroma of dust, citrus, cobwebs. Taste is dusty funky light fruit. Very tasty.
