Appearance - Pours a dark gold with a finger of bubbly white head.
Smell - Bready malts, sourness, vinous characteristics from the wine barrel, saltiness, earthy yeast, coriander, and a hint of earthy and leafy hops.
Taste - Tart, salty, and vinous qualities, with dominance from the barrel aging initially. The malts are most present in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with moderate to high carbonation. Finishes tart and sour.
Overall - I had no idea you could barrel age a gose. Good on Wild Rose for experimenting with their gose; this shows their experimental brewing technique. Although barrel aged, the rudimentary gose qualities are still present and not lost.

750ml bottle, a bit of a surprise find up here in Edmonton today. Anyways, this is WR's Gose Rider, aged in French red wine oak barrels for 18 months.
This beer pours a hazy, medium copper amber hue, with two skinny fingers of puffy, loosely foamy and weakly bubbly dirty white head, which leaves a bit of skewed Hallowe'en white sheet ghost lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.
It smells of acrid red wine lees, wet barrel staves - grainy wood and dry vanilla, mostly - gritty pale malt, a softly crackery wheatiness, subtle earthy spice, further indistinct light orchard fruit notes, and plain leafy, weedy, and moderately grassy hops. The taste is bready, doughy pale and wheat malt, sharp salted white crackers, a somewhat tart and woody red wine fruitiness, laid-back earthy yeast, some still hard to pin down savoury spiciness, and more understated weedy, floral, and wet hay-like hop bitters.
The bubbles are present and accounted for in their timid and underwhelming frothiness, the body just on the light side of true middleweight, and generally smooth, the acerbity of the fruit, barrel, salt, and yeast all somehow hitting pause as we march through here. It finishes off-dry, the vinous character the only remains of the barrel's day, along with a lingering yeasty breadiness, one that's been a tad over-salted.
A pleasant, and variably complex barrel-aged offering - I can surely say that I have never had a wood treated Gose before, so good on ya, Wild Rose. The red wine character starts off nearly running the show, but backs off soon enough, leaving us with an approximation of the original Gose Rider, from what I can tell. Easy to drink, with the hallmarks of the style coming along for the whole of the, forgive me, ride.
