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.

Tap at Draught 55 drinking CT beers for luck. Cloudy straw colored beverage. Nose is light salt and plums. Tastes of plum, sea sat, wheat, and lime. Not overpowering flavors of any kind. Subdued and easy drinking only faintly tart.

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

Can from Kelly and Paul, thanks again. Hazy light golden orange with a decent sized tightly bubbled frothy white head. Spicy rye and earthy grassy hops on the nose. More earthy grassy hop flavor with that tart spicy rye character and a hint of sweet bready malt. Medium to thin body moderate carbonation. Pretty tasty for a session IPA, not my favorite style, but the rye adds a nice kick to it.

Super hazy and very tall funky and very soapy head about ten centimetres tall, pure tan in colour. Aroma of grass, hay, light wheat, some subtle spices and a bit of caster sugars. Light-bodied; Strong wheatie flavour with some smooth hops, a bit of citrus and a light pale grassy and herbal note. Aftertaste shows some light grain, a bit of bitter hops and a smooth but assertive wheat flavour and some notes of the yeast strain. Overall, a relatively smooth and subtle flavour with a light wheat and fresh citrus flavour but not too pungent at all. Good to sample and worth trying if you can find it relatively easily. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Murray’s Cheese in Greenwich Village, New York, New York on 30-May-2016 for US$2,99 sampled at home in Washington on 05-December-2016 a day after returning from New York.
