Flavors of Sour Orange and Sweet Lime from the Calamansi Citrus, Medium Mouthfeel from the Mango The Illusion of Safety? ...Or should we say the mirage that is our existence? Day in and day out, never deviating from the numbing routine of eat | work | sleep | repeat. Living in complete delusion that material possessions matter. That money, power, and status denote our individual worth. Battling the constant gravitation toward the inevitable; our empty luggage of a carcass - void of meaning, strewn across a deserted highway. The shell we once knew, now a home for the carrion birds.

Poured from a 16oz can into pint glass in September 2022. There was no canned date on the can. I drank this about 2 months after purchase.
Appearance: Deep red/purple color with 1-finger pink head. It is deep with an opaque complexion. The head is very thin, and it lasts a minute, leaving a small covering. There is no lacing on the glass.
Smell: Strong aroma of pineapple and mango and berry. The aroma was moderately strong as soon as the can was opened. The fruit aromas are more prominent than the other aromas.
Taste: Interesting contrast between the fruit (berry and pineapple) that is not overpowering. Also, some mango flavors. The sweetness and bitter edge are well-balanced. Has a very nice after-taste that lasts a moderate amount of time. Overall a nice balance and very drinkable.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied. Also, low average alcohol, which matches the 3.0% listed on the can.
This is a sweet ale. It has a nice mix of berry, mango, citrus, and other flavors, which makes it enjoyable.

Pours a light fizzy small head with low retention, no lacing, hazy cloudy opaque orange-mango color
Nose is mostly orange, mango, some grapefruit, and a bit of passion fruit, some Meyer lemon, and citrusy star-fruit like, maybe a little wheat but otherwise absolutely no gose
Taste brings more of the same, big tangerine orange juice up front with mango puree, a little tart passion fruit on the back end, hint of tartness in general with fair creamy flavor probably lactose and possibly wheat, more generic citrus rind and more of that star-fruit-like bright citrus character and some grapefruit as well, a touch of pith on the back end and a little tart flemmy acidic character, but again NO GOSE!
Mouth is med bod, very creamy milky, lighter carb
Overall this was a tasty fruit drink, but there is nothing resembling a beer at all, let alone a gose, I'd be better off buying the fresh squeezed fruit juice at teh super market and pouring a little vodka or something in it, Seriously I don't understand how this is actually a thing!!!!
To show how much this is NOT a beer at all, this is the first time ever that I have given my wife a sip of my "beer" and she actually took it from me (thankfully since I didn't want it to go to waste)
