A dash of salt. A touch of tart. That’s what makes this unique German-style wheat beer a seasoned professional at serious summer thirst quenching. With its glowing golden color, peach & citrus nose followed by a prickly mouthfeel that leaves a gentle tartness and a dash of salt on the palate, the Old Pro never fails to bring you back for another sip.

Average size white head over a moderately hazed gold body; lacing was sparse. Aroma exhibits the sourness usually associated with the style along with a distinct lemon quality. Flavor of sourdough bread, tart fruit, a dose of salt and yeast (not associated with the bread). Hops seem non-existent. Now the coriander is showing. Acidic aftertaste. Dry, light-to-medium bodied mouthfeel with lively carbonation. Lingering finish.

12 ounce can poured into a Pilsner glass.
Canned 2/25/20

L: Pale straw and slightly cloudy with slowly rising bubbles and a three plus finger white fluffy head that eventually dissipates to just a ring.
S: Salty sour lemon with some sour dough and a little horse blanket.
T: Starting tart, dry and lemon-like. Salt and a little sweaty funk show in the middle and move to a quick tangy finish. The sourness is restrained and I can't detect any hop bitterness.
F: Light and effervescent with medium-high carbonation, very dry and only light astringency.
O: Brite and zesty with a manageable tart/sour profile. Easy drinking and refreshing, maybe a good place to start if you are new to Gose or other sours.

12oz can into a tulip

Look: A cloudy, pale yellow. Pours with a small white cap of foam that dissipates quickly into a ring on top of the liquid.
Smell: I get a faint whiff of cracker-like malt before the sour lemon aroma totally overpowers everything else.
Taste: Exactly like the nose, crackery malt followed by lots of tart lemon flavor. Lingering salty/sour finish.
Feel: Light/thin bodied with light carbonation and tiny bubbles.
Overall: So refreshing on a hot day, heavy on the sour citrus and with a finish that leaves you wanting to keep on sippin'.
