On tap at the brewery. It pours a pale yellow color with a white head. The aroma is very bright and lemony with hints of lemon/lime soda and salt. Background notes of candied ginger. The flavor is more ginger forward, but not spicy or overpowering. The body is light and the finish is refreshing with lemon, wheat and hints of saltiness. Really tasty.

On tap at the brewery. It pours an orangy light gold color with an off white head. The aroma is soft and funky with some grapefruit, creamy oak and hay/barnyard brett. The flavor is the same. Lightly tart orange with a hint of sweetness via some vanilla and oak. Velvety mouthfeel. Awesome stuff.

On tap at the brewery. It pours a mostly clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is really nice and clean with bright lemon and hints of salt. The flavor is solid. Refreshing notes of lemon and fresh wheat. Coriander is there, but hardly noticeable. Light bodied and medium to high carbonation. Perfect for the style. A really clean, refreshing Gose.
