473ml can - version 2 of their Gose, now made with blood orange and black currant. Dubbed a 'Frosty Gose'.

This beer pours a murky, medium orangish-amber colour, with three flabby finger of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat creamy off-white head, which leaves some random blotchy lace around the glass as it eventually subsides.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, a lesser spicy wheatiness, seawater, some muddled citrus and dark fruity notes, and faint earthy, musty, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is grainy and crackery pale malt, wet salted Wheat Thins, a still mixed and matched citrus and berry fruitiness, and a hint of mildly phenolic yeast.

The carbonation is average in its palate-coddling frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really existing here that might be cause for concern. It finishes off-dry, the malt and generic frooty essences presiding.

Overall - yeah, the guest ingredients pretty much just phone it in, resulting in a rather bland and uninspiring offering. Not bad, per se, but I'm not feeling moved to do anything, much less what the label suggests I should be doing, what with all the snow on the ground outside.
