Key lime gose. In New Orleans, to-go cups mean the fun (and the beer) doesn’t always have to stay inside the bar. To-Gose is Abita’s refreshing take on a traditional gose beer – a slightly salty and sour beer style. Brewed with malted wheat and barley and German Perle hops, fresh key limes are added during aging to create this sour ale with hints of lime, coriander and sea salt.

Served from the bottle in a Lagunitas mason jar.

Good to see the pun industry hasn't slowed down a pip. Anyway, this stuff pours a mostly clear sunrise brass topped by a finger or so of white foam. The nose comprises lime (whether Key or otherwise is unknown to my untrained nasal palate), light coriander, and a touch of vague briney-ness. The taste changes the lime out for a more lemon-centric approach, all the while adding in a good amount of salt. The body is fairly light, with a light moderate carbonation and a sticky-adjacent finish. Overall, not the best gose out there, but if you are more saline-inclined, this may be the choice for you.

Poured from a 12 OZ bottle into a pint glass. The appearance is a slightly cloudy amber color with a medium sized white head. The aroma is very salty. The taste is citrus, salt and coriander.

Notes via stream of consciousness: I love the name! And I love New Orleans' to-go laws. Not that you don't need to be careful and follow all of the other laws (no drinking and driving, etc.). It's poured a very hazy yellow-gold body beneath a creamy head of bright white that seems to be holding quite well. It looks good! In the nose I'm getting a pleasant, sweetish lime note and some mineralish/salty character - so far so good! The flavor, however, is a disappointment as it's way too salty and there's not enough lime. Where did the lime go? It's not even that sour, although the salt might be covering some of that up. Oh Abita, how do you screw up a simple kettle soured gose? I'm not sure I can even drink this. What a shame. There's some nice sweetish malt under there but I don't find it until the salt starts to wane in the finish. Wow, what a wreck. Of course it's easy to fix - less salt, more lime. I won't even bother with mouthfeel and an "overall" impression of the beer. If I had a lime with me I might add it and finish it but as it is I'm just going to dump it and move forward. How sad is that?

Poured from a 12 oz bottle into a Dogfish Head tulip

L: Clear golden pour with massive foamy white head. Great retention and lacing.

S: Tart lime and citrus. Light grains.

T/F: Cracked grains and wheat. Light and clean... lime juice, salt, and floral. Strong citrus presence.. a bit of spice. Light bodied... zesty carbonation. Lime juice on the finish.

O: Overall a solid gose. A bit salty but refreshing and one of the better brews I've had from Abita. Great light summer fare.
