Tap at the brewery.
Decent fluffy fizzy head, little creamy, murky auburn chestnut color.
Nose strange, toasty grainy malt notes, herbal grassy, mild spices, sweet candy fruity notes, eventually a mild briny seaweed note.
Taste brings sweet candy malts, mildly sweet, caramel and toasty, reddish malts, with fair spicy like hops, background is a strange yeasty herbal thing, hint of tangy, little briny note in the background. Finish brings a bit more of a briny salty note, hint tangy, little spicy earthy hop, herbal notes and sticky malts lingering.
Mouth is med bod, little syrupy, decent carb.
Overall well it's not really anything like a gose, too malty, too Hoppy, sticky and not really sour, the seaweed is light thankfully and interesting, but not really what I was expecting for a gose.

Enjoyed at the brewery. I remember Ben talking about the plans for this beer, using cape cod sea salt and sea weed. Glad to see it finally happened.
A - Poured a nice hazy reddish rusty hue with a thin head that fades slowly to leave a thin halo. I dig this color.
S - Aromas of light salt, nice brine notes, maybe a little bit of caramel and malt sweetness. Hmm...
T - Taste is similar to the nose, the salt is rather mild, light acidity. The malt profile here is much heavier than normal gose beers, which offers some caramel sweetness that I suppose balances out the traditional gose notes.
M - Mouthfeel is brightly carbonated, very crisp.
O - Overall this beer was one I was really looking forward to, however, the malts really get in the way of what makes a gose a gose. The salt level isn't bad but I miss the nice punch that other gose offer (ie Westbrook). I could see this working as a gruit (as they can have seaweed) but with this malt backbone it's hard to think gose.
