Pinkalicious
High Hops Brewery

Pours a pink color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. Aroma is slightly fruity and sour. Taste is sour But finishes on the sweet side. Crisp and dry.

 

 

 

Brought out by leftpaw, said he didn't like 'em. I liked 'em more than he did, but it is what it is.

Pours a darker shade of pink. Doesn't really amass/retain headspace despite having a good degree of carbonation. Its like there is a hole in it and there is head formation on the edges, circular. Heavy on the lemon and was it raspberry? Doesn't scream gose in the nose. Lacks salinity in terms of perceptibility at this stage.

The taste brings about more lemon, then a lesser amount of raspberries. Drying mouth feel yes, but the above average amount of sourness lessens that aspect of the mouth feel. Wasn't very beercentric but that is ok. There was an above average amount of carbonation that further contributed to the feeling of minimal barley going on. There just wasn't much to go on in terms of traditional beer ingredients, and then the salinity, the hallmark of gose, was overshadowed by lemon and raspberries. Didn't taste bad, but also something I couldn't do more than 12oz of in one sitting, in fact, I'd prolly prefer no more than 6 oz of this in one sitting.

I still have one can left, prolly crush that at softball given all the raspberry fans out there.

 

Definitely the best thing sampled from here, the raspberries tasted like frozen ones kind of but overall a crisp refresher, all their stuff besides the expired IPA were very crisp

 

 

As expected, this beer pours brilliantly deep pink, almost magenta with a wispy white head that completely disappears. Initial waft of lemon followed closely by raspberries dominate the nose. Taste follows in a flip flopped way with a salty backdrop and a mild grainy sweetness. Feel is light and fresh, salty and tart. Overall, this is an outstanding flavored Gose. Obviously the locals were right in nominating this to the High Hops Can Series. Cheers!
