473mL can. Pours clearish gold with a white head. Aroma has light salt, sweet malts, and a bit of sweaty, fruity hops. Flavour has some salt up front, quickly dominated by chewy malts and tart fruit skins. Inoffensive and the profile is refreshing, but seems odd for a gose.

On tap at The Magnet, pours a clear golden with a medium white head. Nose is clean and bright, with a Saaz-like grassy and spicy hop character, and a clean crackery malt base. Flavour is likewise bright, clean and crisp, with a vibrant spicy hop character, some grassiness, and clean crisp crackery malt. Drinks like a hoppy, crisp, spicy Czech pils. Very good.

Hazy gold, beige head. Tart/dry citrus nose and palate. Prickly with a sweet overtone in finish.

Medium brown, bright toasty malt aroma. Sweetish, and on the palate it’s not as complex as the aroma hints at.

473mL can, pours a cloudy bright pinkish red with a small white head. Aroma is full of whispy wheat, bright raspberry and gentle lacto — smells like a legit raspberry Berliner. Flavour is soft, with tart raspberries, lots of wheaty notes, and low-level lacto. This is very on-point for a Berliner — doesn't have that yogurty nonsense that so many crappy kettle sours have. Dry, wheaty, fruity finish. This is great.

473mL can. Pours cloudy mahagony. Aroma is earthy and tart; notes of dark cherry, cinnamon, balsamic, barnyard funk. Flavour has dark cherry, wild yeast, a bit of balsamic; very well-balanced. Excellent

473mL can. Pours clear pale gold with white head. Aroma has banana, coriander, floral notes, slightly chemical. Flavour has cloves, coriander, Belgian yeast. Decent carbonation, mouthfeel a bit oily. The bitterness tastes a bit chemical which taints it a bit. The underlying flavour profile seems solid though.

355mL can, pours a deep dark brown / near-black with a medium beige head. Nose is full of roasted malt, earthy rye, and bread crusts. Flavour is more assertive than anticipated, with lots of earthy rye, a touch of liquorice, and medium roast. Dry, spicy, roasty finish. Decent.
