Pours a straw colour with saffron tinge. Hugely cloudy with off-white head. Decent lacing. Looks interesting.

Smells grainy upfront, touch of oatmeal to it, before settling into more typical gose territory, banana, sweet spice and a touch of resin. Bit of salt but ultimately just smells quite bitter.

Taste starts off with lots of fruity notes - banana and a touch of packham pear. Honey on the mid-palate before a quite bitter, phenolic back. Quite boozey as well. Fruity upfront, bitter back. Not bad.

Quite a tingle from the carbonation and a sharp alcohol pull mars an otherwise decent body.

A bit heavy but some interesting characters.

An imperial gose formed by ice-distillation of Doc's regular Electrolyte. Tried on-tap at GABS in Melbourne.

Pours a very, very pale lemon colour, with huge chalky haze to it. Weight is very solid and stable in the glass. Head is a frothy firm white that doesn't leave much lace as it goes down. Looks the business though.

Nose is fairly light, balancing between sweet and savoury. Lemon candy characters come through, but so does a dustiness leaving the aromas semi-savoury. It's light and clean at least.

Light entry to the palate before some tart lemony characters come through which remind me of Doc's original brewing of Zephyr. Back has a slight medicinal character and a noticeable booze. Aftertaste is slightly metallic, which could well be the salt from the gose.

Feel is thick and chewy, which is quite good.

Overall, it's decent enough, but I was surprised it wasn't more crazy in terms of flavour given a) GABS, b) Doc and c) the concept itself. It's still solid stuff though, and I'm certainly pleased to have tried it.
