12oz can into a pint glass. Appears to have been canned in February 2019, so at least 16 months old.

Looks nice enough in the glass. Hazy dull yellow body with generous white head. Head shrinks to a solid covering which maintains right to the end. Heavy streams of carbonation.

Sour aroma, very faint mustiness.

Despite the age, there is a strong sour taste to this one. Not really tart. A little salty on the lips. Any evidence of the dry hopping has disappeared.

Mouth around medium. Despite the carbonation, it does feel a little dead in the mouth, and there is a light funkiness in the finish.

Overall, still a worthwhile drink despite the age. Refreshing beer on a warm afternoon after some yardwork.

Hulk Hands pours a semi-opaque, pale golden orange with a thin head that dissipates rapidly. The smell is bright and clean with a slight hint of citrus including lemon and lime. Somewhat unimpressive on the nose. The taste goes down as a sour or gose should, as this is a very mild beer. A hint of tartness up front with lemon, grape and apple cider.

From a 12 oz. can into a PAA Dino tasting glass, this beer pours out like a cloudy apple juice and forms a little over a finger worth of bone white crown.

The nose makes sure you know it’s dry hopped, as it brings bright notes of lemon, a beautiful floral aspect, some pine, grass and straw. It has a lot of saison like qualities to me.

The taste carries that brightness on. Bright lemon dances with green grass, light straw and flower petals before turning into a dried out biscuit background. White wine like grape notes.

The mouthfeel has a natural, lemon like tartness and acidity. It’s not too much. It does bring a mouth watering salinity as well. Very refreshing.

Overall, a nice changeup of a gose. It does still bring the qualities of one though, while showing a hybrid, mutant like crossover.

Refreshingly slick. Very clean finish. Hops were definitely present, though not overbearing.
Would not be my #1 first choice but I would definitely have it again.

There is a humorous birthday/holiday card that reads: "People who say that I am difficult to shop for clearly do NOT know where to buy beer!" That used to be the case for me, but the prevalence of Tarts & Sours, which I generally do not like, does make it a little more problematic. I am a hophead, so I generally gravitate to IPAs, but I actually do not mind Goses. One that is specifically dry-hopped & in a CAN kinda does it for me! Thank you to the good peeps at Hunger-N-Thirst for CANtinuing the cause of The CANQuest (tm).

From the CAN: "Dry Hopped Gose".

I did some in-CAN CANgitation before Crack!ing open the vent to ensure that any lees that may have settled onto the kick were back in suspension. I CANtinued with an inverted Glug to further keep things in suspension. I would up with just under two fingers of fizzy, foamy, rocky, eggshell-white head with low retention, quickly falling away to wisps. Nose was more tart than sour, causing my lips to lightly pucker in response. I did not get much in the way of salt, but the coriander & the hops gave it a really nice nose. Lemony, peppery, minty, grassy, but just not salty. Mouthfeel was medium, big for the style. The taste came out of the gate with an alum-like puckering tartness that required that I pry my mouth back open for a seCANd sip, Phew. I got a LOT of citrus, initially, including lemon, lime & grapefruit plus a white wine vinousness and a peppery spiciness. My only bugaboo was that I was not experiencing salt. Finish was quite dry with a lingering citrus & pepper vinousness. Still no salt. 8=(
