A timeless, traditional tart gose (goes-uh) with its zesty and salty disposition is brightened by a tangy citrus twist. A bier for every día!

Don't know if it was a bad can but it was so mild to almost not be sour and not very good. There wasn't much lime on the nose or pallet.. The feel was mostly neutral and look was a golden pale.

Poured from a 12oz can into a traditional pint.

The look off a hard pour was at first a decent 2 finger head that disappeared within a minute. Not a great start for a standard beer but with a sour it's forgivable. Medium carbonation, and it looks kind of like a Wendy's peach lemonade. Hazy and a very light golden straw.

I chilled this in the freezer so there not a lot of smell but it's a lot of lime here. Almost smells like a watered down whiskey sour. Some beer notes but sort of vague. Interesting but not the most beer-y.

Flavor is similar to smell a lot of lime, I think there are some hops in here though so it's definitely beer. And the aftertaste does have some golden ale malt notes it's pretty an good. Very limey it's a beer sour without sugar (not that beer sours are a thing, sour beer are.) It's pretty nice for a change of pace but I do like me some lemon and lime.

Feel is super light but not quite watery. Again this is excusable for a sour, it would be bad if a sour had a huge mouthfeel. Great beach or summer beer. Or just good if you want straight lime and alcohol but still want beer with some presence on the palate.

Overall a nice light beer obviously going for a summer outside vibe. And I'd say it fits it perfectly. Not necessarily a traditional sour. But still very good. I'm yet to have an actual gose yet so I'm not sure what that is usually.

I know I liked this but need to have more than once. A vague margarita vibe. Really solid beer

12 ounce can poured into a Duvel tulip glass.

L---Murky golden color. Fuzzy white head faded to nothing quickly and left no lacing. Looks like there's some floaters of yeast.

S---Mostly lime. nothing else is discernable.

T---Lime is strong. Sea salt is also clearly noticeable.

F---Feels flat. Crisp & wet.

O---If they only got one thing right, at least it was the taste. This is a tasty beer.

Gosa’s aren’t really my thing. I got a couple of 6packs from a very nice and generous person that doesn’t know my taste, and of course, I was very grateful.

The numbers I posted are in line with the average because I don’t believe that it’s fair to judge something that’s not in your “style” to harshly.

Firstly, what I find hardest to get past in all the gose’s that I’ve tried is the smell, that of dirty feet.

Secondly, and this is just my option, fwiw, it’s not beer! It’s more of a sour seltzer, or something?

Having said that, my impressions of this “beverage”. At first I had the same misgivings, but after a couple of drinks, I began to think that wasn’t a half bad lemony, limey sort of drink, refreshing even, but still not beer.

If your into gose’s it’s probably a good one! I drank it and enjoyed it, once I stoped thinking of it as a beer, but who am I to say.

12oz. can into Night Shift stemware.

Nose is lemon zest, lime tartness and a metallic yeastiness. Pretty muted but appropriate. Beer opens lemon and lime zest. Yeasty with a very mellow tartness. What stands out is a fruit skin bitterness that doesn't really integrate. Foam and more lime at the end. Clean, slightly metallic finish. This is weird. Body is light with ample carbonation. Foamy on the palate and goes down the same. No aftertaste.

This isn't really my cup of tea. Bitterness doesn't really integrate and tartness isn't there.

The head dissipates immediately
This is way on the salty side for the style, as this style has gotten popular in America most examples have been more tart and not as salty. This is more of a reversion to the German examples. It’s limey and has a bit of a pickle juice brine type sourness.
