Flamingose is a tart and salty German style Gose beer made with pineapple and pays tribute to Utah's own "Pink Floyd" the Flamingo. If your not familiar with Floyd, he was a Chilean Flamingo that freed himself from his home at SLC's Tracey Aviary in 1990. Floyd took up residence at the Great Salt Lake immediately and somehow thrived. He's called the briny lake home ever since. Floyd's current whereabouts are unknown.

Aroma is tropical fruit/juice and a background of salt/minerals. The flavor is tropical fruit/pineapple, malts/biscuit malts, wheat, mild coriander and a tart/slightly dry finish.

a neat gose here, the first one i can recall ever having with pineapple, and an absolute crusher of a beer in warm weather. they were smart to keep the tartness down, its minimally acidic and very approachable, hardly even a sour beer at all, which helps keep it super drinkable and should expand its appeal. the pineapple is a great touch too, its natural enough tasting, and not so forward as to make this sweet but it gives it a great tropical layer where a lot of brewers opt to have a juicy dry hopping come out. i like the pineapple here, and i think it makes this mighty distinct. i can still taste and appreciate the clean wheat in the grain base, and actually, of all the added elements, i think the salt is the most forward, with a real sharp brine element to it and some trace minerals that give it a neat finish and mouthfeel. lemony notes to the lacto souring, but its no more than tart here, optimally refreshing. overall a very unique fruited gose, and while it may seem a little dialed back and safe to those of us who prefer them a bit more evolved from a yeast standpoint, you have to appreciate the itch this one scratches. clever stuff here from unita!

On tap. Poured out a hazy, golden color with a very thin head of off-white foam. It smelled of pineapple, wheat and yeastiness. Sweet pineapple with wheat and a light saltiness.

22 ounce bottle - $5.99 at Bullock's Wine & Spirits in Marietta, Georgia.

Appearance: Pours a clouded, slightly murky-looking, dulled gold body with a medium-sized, whitish head.

Smell: A lightly tart, tangy aroma of pineapple, wheat malt, lemon and brine.

Taste: Lightly tangy wheat with soft touch of pineapple overlayed with a bit of tartness and lemony citrus. Subtle spice of coriander. Salinity is modest. Gently drying, lightly tart finish.

Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium-plus carbonation. Mouthfeel is a bit tingly.

Overall: Pretty good.

Gold in color with a very hazy complexion. There's a quarter inch of frothy dishwater white on top. Coriander leads the nose with pineapple a close second. The sea salt comes in a distant third. The taste is a remarkable balance of sea salt, pineapple, and coriander. I'm surprised at how well this all comes together. The mouth is thick and salient.

Fresh bottle served at a bit warmer than cellar temps in a teku

Love the bottle presentation; very tropical and festive. Poured a hazy pale straw color with a clingy white head and lots of carbonation. Nose is Brett funk, pineapple, very tropical, mildly tart, citrus and sweet. The taste follows the nose very well, is not very sour at all, pretty sweet but not in a bad way. Very enjoyable brew.

Bottle from Brewers Haven. Hazy pale golden body. Small wispy head. Musty aroma, kind of salty/ seawater. A little bit more citrus in the taste , coriander makes itself known. Minor saltiness at the finish. Muted pineapple, gentle gose.

Pours hazy, gold in color with 1/3 inch head. Taste is grain, light hops, pineapple--juice and pulp. Light bodied, slightly sweet, and medium light salt. Makes for a nice afternoon sipper. Really nicely done.
