L: Hazy gold , not much of a head
S: Lemon, salt, and a touch of cream
T: Tart up front, then vanilla cream, tart finish. I usually hate lactose and vanilla in non-stouts, but it’s good here!
F: Typical gose— light and crisp
O: Interesting. Nothing can top Westbrook’s OG gose, but I wouldn’t turn this down.

I love this brewery's Key lime pie, so I was pretty excited when I saw this!
A: A hazy yellow in color, with a light white head.
S: Light lemon, and cream with a hint of salt.
T: First is a bit of sourness, followed by creamy custard, and lemon. Hints of vanilla swirl through
M: Light, crisp, and tart. A refreshing summer sipper.
O: Overall, I think I like the lime better, but this is one heck of a beer as well. Good stuff.

16 oz. can dated 6/24/21
Two fingers fine white head that rapidly disperses. No lacing. Murky tan color. No particulates or sediment.
Smells remarkably like lemon meringue pie. Pie crust, citrus, yeast aromas all present.
Taste is also in line. Nicely tart lemon, bread or pie crust from the lactose, suggestion of meringue but not overly sweet.
Substantial flavor for 5% ABV. Tart aftertaste. Rather refreshing.
I had low expectations, but this is comparable to the Westbrook Gose and Key Lime Gose. Nice summer beer.
