4 oz. sample at AleHouse, Amesbury, MA. Hazy golden appearance, lasting foam. Aroma is purรฉe plumโ€™s, sea salt, mild pale grain. The flavor is extremely well balanced. Plum, soured wheat, and tartness marries really well. Very easy drinking.

Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 3/31/17.
Clear auburn with a small, beige head atop showing moderate retention.
Crystal malt and ginger with some peppery spice and sourdough...Ginger does seem fresh and theyโ€™ve certainly added plenty of it...
Lightly to moderately sweet with some crystal malt iced tea character, honey and light pepper before the barrage of ginger hits and completely dominates the beer. Lightly sticky texture with moderate carbonation. Are there hops in this?? There certainly is ginger. I love ginger, but come on....

Draft at Barcade on 24th. As Italian Plum Gose. Murky orange color with a thin head and light lacework. Aroma is light, musty. Some plum, a bit of dirt, and yeast. Flavor is lightly fruity, lightly tart, and little salty. Just okay, but at least that weird dirt thing from the aroma is less noticeable. Lively carbonation. Not terrible, but not good either.

Draft at RnH-East. Murky darker orange-brown color with a small tan head. Vegetal and spice. Banana, clove, and yeast. Bit of earth. Kind of an odd mix, but it works okay. Tingly mouthfeel.

Tap at Draught 55. Deep golden colored with smaller head. Nose is fruit salad remnants left in sun after a cookout. Tastes of cantaloupe, onion, grassy, herbal and basement floor. Slick palate not too bitter or hoppy for style.

12 oz. can purchased at Spruce Creek Provisions. Aroma is mild coffee with cream and nuances of chocolate.

The flavor shows the lack toast sweetness and chocolate overpowering the coffee. But the coffee is still here. Mouth feel is creamy in velvet like. Body is on the fuller side. On draft this would be killer! Wonderful example of the style
