Shared bomber bottle.
Generous white head over a hazy golden body.
Tart fruity funky aroma.
Better taste with only mild funk.
High tartness and plenty (too much?) of sea salt.
Overall: tart!!

Not a ton of saltiness or coriander spice at all.
Super tart.
Tastes like tart orange juice.
Maybe not best interpretation of the style but amazing tasting stuff.

This was a really nice Gose, but it didn't seem to fit the style very well. The flavor seemed a bit off to me. I got saltiness, but I was missing the traditional spices like coriander that you would typically see used on a gose. I probably would have enjoyed this more if I wasn't comparing it to their traditional gose, which is the best on the market.

Look and feel is solid and similar to the regular Gose. I really enjoy the regular Westbrook Gose but the I find something in this one overpowering and rather unpleasant. It's present on the nose but even stronger on the palate. I don't know my hops well so I'm guessing it's the Sorachi hops but it also tastes like perhaps there is more coriander in this one than the base gose. Interesting, just not in a particularly good way. It did get less overpowering the more I drank of it.

Bomber. Opaque deep golden color, finger white head with good retention, minor lace. Usual gose aroma, lemony tart and briny. Not digging the taste of this one. Way more tart and sharp up front than any gose I've had. The back end is not very good either, has a weird bitter grassy aftertaste that doesn't play we'll with the salt, maybe it's the yeast. The mouthfeel is nice and full, at least there's that. Although it became drinkable as it warmed and I became acclimated. Overall not a fan of this one.
