16 fl oz pull-tab can nabbed in 4-x16 fl oz format at Collins Midtown Liquor in Tulsa, Oklahoma today for $19.29 USD minus a 4% random discount plus tax:

"Imperial gose with mango, pink guava, pineapple, cara cara oranges, and lactose." Canned 08/24/21.

Tart and slightly salty with mellow citrus and obvious fruity flavours. Lactose, luckily, isn't so noticeable here, but I do think the beer would be far better without its suppressive muting sweetness that dials down the beer's acidity and perceived sourness.

Mango takes a backseat to the guava. Pineapple is fortunately restrained (read: barely present), and as for the orange I doubt I'd find it in a blind tasting (cara cara or not - seems like marketing schlock).

Formed a thin head that didn't last. It looked like carbonation on the side of the glass. Since the label says this is an imperial gose, I went with a pilsner glass over a tulip glass for a sour for this pint that was canned 08/23/21.
Not a strong nose but it smells of fruits and salt.
Fruits and lactose come forward in the flavor with salinity on the tongue. With mango, pink guava, pineapple and cara cara orange, this one-off is singularly tart and tropical.
