Pours a cloudy, hazy, completely opaque orange color. Thick 3-4 finger frothy white head forms on the beer, then steadily recedes until just a splotch of foam remains on the beer. This has some yeasty floaters in the bottom of the bottle and I did end up with some of the chunks in my glass.

Aroma has notes of passionfruit, tart lime, citrus notes, wheat, some lactic acid notes and a mild salinity. Of the four, this is the one that is most reminiscent of a traditional gose - the fruit is there, but its subtle and allows the base gose to really shine.

Taste follows the nose with notes of lightly tart passion fruit, lime, lemon, lactic acid giving way to a robust malt backbone that is predominately wheat. Light to moderate salinity is present especially in the back end. Pretty tart with a moderate acidity. I will say, this is the oldest of the bottles and the fruit is the most subdued in this. It was a bit more prominent when fresh, but still was pretty balanced even then.

Feel is moderately bodied, with a slight heftiness to it. Lightly carbonated. Pretty dry on the finish.

Overall this is a nice fruited gose. The fruit is balanced and added with a deft hand complimenting rather than overtaking the base gose.

 

 

On draught at Frontier Brewing and Taproom.

It pours a clear pale gold with a minimal head of foam, retention is good, lacing is not.

The smell is limes, umm..not much else to say that it suggests tartness.

Okay, it's more assertive with the taste. Goodly amount of lime tartness, hint of passionfruit, getting hints of salt but that's just my palate.

Light bodied, good carbonation.

Refreshing to drink a couple but then I would move on.

 

 

 

 

Good head production, but retention is barely OK. Body is quite hazy, with some particulate out of suspension.

Earthy and slightly tart aroma. The lime is noticeable, but not so much the passionfruit.

Similar on the palate. It's lightly musty and grainy, with a vague indistinct fruitiness and a touch of lime. Low tartness. Crisp and lively; a reasonably refreshing Summer ale.

love the look. smells like a wheat beer a little bit. tastes like a sour beer. just like sour monkey. very sour taste with a hint of salt at the end. doesn’t taste like fruit it all to me but not a bad beer overall. the more i drank it the more i enjoyed it
