Sweet flavour of lightly toasted malt, toffee, raisin and peat in a dry, mild bitter, warming booze finish. Full body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Malt forward and tasty. Would love to see this barrel aged.

473ml can. Pours a hazy gold yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that leaves spotty lacing. Aroma of grainy wheat, lime, lacto and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat, lime, salt and floral hops in a dry, slightly tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and soft carbonation. Just a very mild lime gose. Refreshing, but disappointing.

473 ml can. Pours a dull cloudy amber with lighting head. Light aromas of wheat, salt, cereal, and possibly coriander. Flavors aren’t really up front, but with some thought there is some salty wheat and umami.
