Holiday Gose
Reuben's Brews

12oz canned 10-21-19, opened 12-20-19.
Pretty in pink Gose with nice clarity...reminds me of a cherry 7-UP. 1/4" white head, short retention, falls to a cap quickly but sits there. Spotty lacing.
Tart fruit, slight sulfur / winery smell. Not super appealing to my nose as it hit it tonight.
Sour splash of fruitiness, cranberry bitterness middle to late, orange zest on the label seems to come through as sweet in the flavor. The salt is a nice balance in the finish, I think I can "feel" and taste the salt.
Light bodied, sweet/sour/salty trifecta with nice balance. Quicker side on the finish but definitely leaves you wanting more.
Good - enjoyed this one, interesting how the aroma didn't do it for me but the taste and feel were much better.

 

 

Light pink body; lively, coarse carbonation; head starts thick then fades to nothing. Toasted wheat biscuit aroma. Cereal grain and cranberry flavor; a bit salty; mild sour quality. Medium body; low tartness and mildly acidic; a bit juicy.

For the style plus the brewer's big use of cranberry, this beer works out okay. The aroma is really interesting with its prominent toasted cereal notes. Overall, the beer is a nice change of pace from usual beers.

 

 

 

Poured from a can (canned Nov 3) into a snifter at 50°F.

L: Clear, light pink/orange. Bright white head with low retention, can see the carbonation as the bubbles continue to rise.
S: Noticeable coriander, light fruit. More orange than cranberry. Aroma is not strong.
T: Citrus with cranberry being noticeable but not dominant. Dry finish brings out bready flavors. Not very sour.
F: High carbonation, light body. Mouthwatering.

Fruit compliments, but does not overpower the Gose.

 

Pink hued, great clarity, bone white foam with lots of carbonation.

Acidity and salinity dually noted. Cranberry juice also prevelent with a touch of earthiness.

Tart cranberries, orange zest, and coriander all come me through well in the flavor as advertised. Nice saltiness throughout.

Light on the tongue, tart and salty. Well carbonated, exceptionally dry.

Pretty damn good flavored gose. Nice holiday treat.

Cheers.

 

Crowler fill- Pours orangeish golden with minimal head. Aroma is grainy, neutral. The flavors are nice, easy drinking, tart, fruity. Not bad.

 

Poured from a 12oz can into a Teku glass.

Look is a clear pinkish with an eggshell colored head.

Aroma is a funky sulfur, not totally pleasant.

Taste is better a kinda seltzery cranverry, but the aroma is hard to get over.

 

From a can to a pint glass (not the best for a Gose, I know), poured a gorgeous cloudy ruby red grapefruit color with a quickly dissipating white head.
Aroma is of sour fruit, cranberry, brine, and lemon zest.
Taste is heavy cranberry early, citrus (grapefruit, lemon, and orange) later, and a mild salty finish. A nice sharp tartness is noticeable with dry lactic sourness that is not overpowering at all.
It has a light body, high carbonation, and medium finish.
Overall, the sourness is relatively tame and there is not a lot of yeast or bacteria complexity. I wish it was more sour. But I will say that it is an excellent, fun, easy Gose with a late fall holiday taste as the name implies. Citrus heads will enjoy it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Clear, pinkish pale-gold with a small head of loose bubbles that quickly fades into the body of the beer. It looks, as expected, like a fruited Gose. A tickle of orange appears in the aroma, but cranberry, a trace of bright, spicy, coriander, and the style's telltale salinity mingle together pleasantly almost like a cocktail or a chilled mulled wine. Highly carbonated, light-bodied, and subtly fruit flavored, this is an interesting, easy-drinking release from Reuben's that doesn't lose its identity with the introduction of additional flavors. The subtle cranberry tartness and tangy but subdued citrus marry nicely with the character of a Gose and a clean finish urge sip after sip. Very successful.

Nice color, clear pink/orange. Almost rosé like.
I mostly taste an orange and orange peel tartness, with a hint of cranberry. Flavor follows with a dry bready taste.
A solid sipper.

 

From a can.

A clear reddish pink with a light pink head that falls off rapidly, this looks great. The nose is a great blend of tart cranberry, bright orange and raw, grainy wheat. There's minimal salt or coriander present, though there is a touch of spice. The palate opens clean, bright, yogurt like and tart with a blend of cranberry tartness and orange sweetness. This is followed by a grainy, raw, doughy mid-palate. Lactic and mildly yogurt like on the finish, this beer is light in body, crisply carbonated and quite refreshing. Nicely done.
