473ml can pours out pale straw topped with a white head. Nose is light grain some fresh cut grass hops. Taste is more of the nice balanced malts and crisp hops.

Cloudy amber, big lasting white head with great lacing. Not much here; vague malt with uncoordinated bitterness

355ml can. Pours a slightly hazy orange gold with a small, fizzy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Sweet fruity aroma is dominated by peach with grainy pale malt and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, peach juice and orange in a dry, tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and lively carbonation. Refreshing and crushable, but the peach seems artificial. Not sure why they are calling this a Gose when it has no wheat or salt. An adequate flavoured sour.

Poured from the tap. Slightly hazy yellow with small white head. Juicy sweet peach, inoffensive, but boring.

Poured from the tap. Clear gold with small white head. Floral hops, a hint soapy, light pine finish, underlying mild caramel malt. Meh.

Poured from the tap. Murky purple copper with off white head. Some guava on the taste, a rather unassuming nose. Average, but better than expected. (Quick stop at the local pub before heading home) --- Beer merged from original tick of Amethyst on 16 Jun 2022 at 07:39 - Score: Appearance - 6 | Aroma - 6 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5. Original review text: Poured from the tap. Muddy dull purple with small white head. Lacto and guava, better than expected. This particular bartender at Elwood’s said, “I usually combine it with a cider, which we don’t have on tap right now.” Okay.

Opaque. Tart, a bit of that juicy character, certainly orange. Fairly heavy for its size. The malts aren't great otherwise, though. Not much bitterness - it's not essential in this style of course but I do think this beer would benefit from a bit more bite. Somewhat yeasty, not really in a good way. It's okay.
