Yellow can. Aroma of fruit permeates the air and then it goes a little off on the nose. Almost clear pale. Taste is rather friendly. Its so much a goes as it is a fruit beer. Odd perfumy effects after each slug. Yes, weird middle on this one. Difficult to pick out the lime but the strawberry is there fersher. Finish is unique, could be a little more gose-ish if you know what I mean. Overall, it was as expected. Good bubbly fun. On the finish I think I do pick up some soapy lime in there.

Can from my father: pours black with beige head. Aroma is cocoa and cinnamon. Taste is not nearly as heavy as a 10 percenter would lead you to think. Body was also not too hefty. Plenty sweet, but not cloying. Not super complex either.

Perfectly clear golden, peach coloured body with a pure orange glow and a very thin pure white head that fades very quickly. Aroma of grass, brine, salt, light soured funk, lemons, limes, tequilla, a dash of agave and honey with some light biscuity malt notes and some crackers, but this is really all about the brine and very light citrus notes. Light-bodied; Sharp briney and very salty flavours show first with some lime, lemon and tart funk along with some yeast, bread and cookie-type sweetness from brown and caster sugars, especially noticeable at the end after the salt and tart elements. Aftertaste shows the tart and especially briny components with some pure sea salt and a big hit of lime and zest towards the end, that provides a nice balance and juxtaposition in this beer, but both sides are very soft and easy-drinking. Overall, a nice and briny, more pungent and salty gose than most in the style, but with an adequate level of lime and sour flavours, this one turns out nicely, especially for a hot time of the year. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Total Wine in Springfield, Virginia on 20-October-2019 for US$1,99 sampled at home in Washington as it got hot again, over 80deg F, sampled at my house here in Washington on 15-May-2020.

12 oz. Aroma is like Hawaiian Punch, full of tropical fruit notes. Pours nearly clear golden with a small off-white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately sweet, faintly tart, finishing lightly dry; flavors of tropical fruit, wheat. A little too sweet and one dimensional, but not bad.

Bottle. Pours clear dark amber with a beige head. Stone fruits, plum, bit of Belgian yeast. Not bad overall, but something seems off.

Tap at mad mex in robinson. Clear pale with decent co2 on the palate. Taste is somewhat bitter. It also is a little medicinal in the middle. Difficult near the end. Heavy hop citrus bite. Weird, dull & aged slaggy hop ending.

Bomber poured into tulip glass, opaque dark brown. Full body. Licorice and chocolate aroma. Boozy licorice taste, bittersweet finish. Definitely worth drinking this again.
