22oz bomber gifted by fiulijn. Bottle dated 6.23.14, so almost 2 years old. Love the label art. Pop the cap and foam slowly rises up the neck. Poured into St. Louis flute glass. As expected, the head is strong and voluminous. Very hazy pale color. Aroma has light coriander, light fruit ester. A little sweet and a little herbal-citrus. Flavor is again a very fine blend of ester and citric herbal character. Not tart but light with a fuller body. Finishes light. I’ve been drinking a lot of Gose in the New World in the past few years and this is one of the more superior ones. The average is way low, damn Canadians.

Draft - Sweet stone fruit and light honey notes. Clearish orange with a decent white head. Tastes much as it smells, with some yeasty esters. Not bad, but nothing remarkable.

2016 bottle poured. Huge thanks to mcberko for the bottle! Listed at 11.2% Jet black pour with an active tan fizz head and sticking lace. Aroma is chocolate, doughy, and a bit nutty. Big chocolate flavor upnfront, and a little dough, a lot like the aroma. Thick body, lingering cocoa finish. Excellent.
