8.1/10 Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8.5
Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is slightly acidic with some light citrus and pineapple notes. Moderate grain and cereal notes with some cracker notes. Light oak and white wine notes. Pours a hazy, golden orange with a medium small, fairly thin, white head that recedes fairly quickly to the edges where it lingers for a bit. No lacing or legs. Flavor is moderately acidic with a light sweetness. Light grain and cereal notes, but less pronounced than in the aroma. Light white wine notes with some hint of oak. Some stone fruit notes. Mouthfeel is medium light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a really nice sour. Light grain notes with nice fruit an oak notes. Acidity isn’t too sharp an works really nicely with the fruit notes.

Poured from a 500 ml bottle. Aroma is fairly berry forward with nice black raspberry notes. Slightly jammy. Light wheat notes with hints of acidity and some faint citrus. Pours a dak purple with a medium large, fairly thin, purplish pink head that recedes quickly and disappears. No lacing or legs. Flavor has a light wheat note with a light acidity. Hints of citrus with a moderately strong berry note. Slightly jammy with a bit of a sweet berry flesh note. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium high carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer with a good balanced berry note that allows the malt notes to show through a bit. Acidity is a bit light for the beer, but that setter than being too sharp.

Drucken på Brewskival 2016. En frisk för att inte säga rejält syrlig gose med en del inlagd ananas. Trevlig sommaröl. Gott.

Drucken på Brewskival 2016. Fin doft med persika, aprikos, godispersikor men i smakbilden krockar saison och DIPA smakerna för mycket och tar ut varandra snarare än lyfter. Resultatet blir tungt och lite platt.

Bottle thanks to Russell. Pours a hazy gold with small white head that diminishes to nothing. The aroma is funk, oak, yeast. Thin, funky, oak, nice tartness, really enjoyed this.
