Salt N' Peppacorn Gose
Rivertowne Brewing

A thanks to the man who added this beer, woodychandler, for this beer. Poured from a 12 oz. can. Has a bright golden color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell has plenty of salt, some lemons. Taste is of salt and lemons, I feel like a shot of tequila should be involved, dry at the finish. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent beer.

I picked up a mixed 12-pack of CANs at Shady McGrady's in Harrisburg during a recent visit. This CAN was among them & came from their production facility in Export, PA for inclusion in The CANQuest (tm).

From the CAN: "Malt beverage with sea salt and peppercorn added".

I agitated it in the CAN prior to the Crack! & when I did Crack! it open, I got a little bit of foaming through the vent. An inverted Glug produced an unbidden finger of fizzy, foamy, bone-white head that quickly faded to wisps. Color was an-oh-so-faintly hazy Golden-Amber (SRM = > 5, < 7). Nose was very salty with a lemony tartness & just a hint of peppery spiciness. Mouthfeel was kind of thin & watery. The taste, while salty, was not as sharp & challenging as some that I have tried. It definitely tasted of wheat with a light lemony tartness, but I was not really getting the peppercorns. Drinking through it, I just kept getting wave after wave of lemon and salt, salt & lemon, but not much else. It was a refreshingly dry drink that went down very quickly, but I was left feeling unfulfilled.
