Nucleated Pilsner
Look: Semi-clear Amber color. barely poured a head. Left a minute ring with almost no lacing
Smell: Its good. Floral and tropical. Nose gives off strong passionfruit and hibiscus.
Taste: Slightly sour. The finish leaves passionfruit and hibiscus notes.
Feel: Light mouthfeel. Crisp.
Overall: Its alright. The alcohol isn't hidden very well and it hits few notches higher than it is.

 

Quite a surprisingly refreshing gose. Not usually my style but this was quite good. Canned date 7/22/19. Pours a lighter orange-pink color with some fluffy white head and some very spotty lingering lacing. Smells of ripe tropical fruit - passion fruit, mango, tangerine, guava, pineapple. Also some weaker floral hops and vanilla. Taste follows the nose, perfect balance of saltiness and tartness without being overwhelming. Well done. Smooth mild mouthfeel and good carbonation. Very enjoyable.
