Hazy golden colour with an orange hue, a bubbly, warm-white cap, average retention and some light lace, but a nice coating on the brew. Lime juice, zest aromas giving a touch of sourness, with some biscuit malt in the background. The biscuit malt base is felt a little more in the taste, giving that pie crust flavours. The lime taste gives some puckering notes that last a while. Hints of coconut do come out eventually. A pretty decent Key Lime Sour.

Lightly hazed, golden colour with a white frothy head, decent stay and mostly a bubbly ring left. Beautiful herbal aromas with cilantro notes, blended nicely with citrus zest. Also, the carbonation is very nice, with tiny bubbles, active and well. The taste has the continuation of the herbs, mild grassiness and a touch of lemon zest. Some decent bite to it, and mild bitterness. Maybe a tad piney note. Dryish, but also fairly wet refreshing. Not sure about the West Coast style so much, but a real damn good zesty-herbal IPA.

Hazy, golden-orange colour with a pink hue. A nice warm-whitish cap stays averagely and some soapy lacing spots are left. Fresh purée aromas of passion fruit and guava with herbal hoppiness, sourness. This continues into the taste, milder, with the fruits, herbs, sourness and light tart. Not a puckering sour fruit beer, but the fruits seem legit.

Slightly hazed, light-golden colour with a bubbly white cap, not much retention and a small, bubbly ring left on the brew. Fruity malt aromas (pears, pineapples) with some mild coriander, hops and yeast. Mild sourness shows up a bit more in the taste with light fruitiness. Getting pineapples, very light saltiness and a bit of tart left on the tongue. Hints of apples, pears. A decent hopped Gose, that is not too hoppy, and has nice fruity notes.

Frais aromes de sauvignon, épices, agrumes et un fond de résine de houblon composent l’essentiel de l’olfactif. Col de mousse abondant crémeux et persistant sur liquide jaune et presque complètement opaque. Entrée de bouche sucrée, tropicale, avec une touche d’agrumes et de sauvignon. Des notes de mangue, de melon au miel, d’ananas ainsi que de raisins blancs un peu trop en sourdine à mon gout. Un autre jus de fruits absolument très goûteux.

Hazy golden-orange colour with a foamy-bubbly off-white head, decent stay and lots of foamy lacing, creating a nice ring. Getting some vinous aromas at first, but after breathing - more like stone and tropical fruit notes blending along. A little more of the white wine in the taste with some fresh citrus peel left lingering on the tongue. A little piney, a little floral, so again - not as juicy as the original brew because of a touch more dryness.

Hazy golden-orange with a bubbly, warm off-white cap, good stay and leaving a few soapy lacing spots. Big fruity aromas with some peaches, blended with tropical fruits, a touch of pineapples and some floral notes to complete - from the Motueka hops. The flavours have lots going on, but not as much, and not as strong. Mild stone fruits with a little zest dryness in the finish. Not as juicy because of this end, especially compared to the original version, but a nice smelling hop nonetheless.
