26oz can poured into a tulip

A- pours a clear golden color with a one finger foamy white head that reduces to leave nothing behind

S- tart berries on the nose with cranberry and cherry leading the way. Undertones of raspberry, lemon peel, wheat and watermelon

T- salty and tart up front with juicy notes of raspberry, cherry and watermelon. The finish gives notes of wheat, lemon peel, berries and a salty linger

M- light body with medium carbonation leads to a bubble mouthfeel that continues into a fizzy finish

Excellent fruit beer. Great for a hot a day. Fruity upfront, dry finish, plenty of carbonation.

A wonderful looking gose, orange with hues of pink shining through with a slightly tainted pink head that fades quickly

WOW! The aroma on this is fantastic. I'm picking up cherries and watermelon with wheat and wine notes in the background, without too much sour funk in the nose

When compared to the aroma, the taste is a bit of a letdown, but still good nonetheless. I get the same characters as the nose, but in a more mellowed out fashion and a stronger lacto sour presence and a hint of salinity

The hint of salinity I mentioned really helps move the feel of this brew along, it is fairly light bodied as expected and goes down quite easy

This is the first of a few brews I got from Craft Beer Kings online. As far as sites like that go, they are pretty solid. They were out of a few that I had ordered, so they personally texted me to see what I'd want as a replacement. Fantastic customer service, but I digress. This was a solid gose overall and I could see myself picking up more, especially in the warmer months

a hazy pink summery sour that i liked pretty well, light on some of the traditional gose elements of sharp lactic tang and also the minerals of the salt, but they are there, just absorbed some by all the fruit in this, cherries, raspberries, cranberries, and lemons. its rare that i would prefer a fruited example of the style over the plain one, but this is quite good, the tartness of the cranberry and lemon make up for what i feel is very light out the lacto souring, and the mix of natural fruit flavors seems honest, distinctive, and rightly proportioned in that i can still appreciate the wheat base underneath. it definitely has a rose wine vibe, i think they got that part down really well for apparently not using any grapes in it, and the dry finish also helps prevent the fruit from taking over, this is where i finally notice the salt. body is lighter medium with good carbonation, and the lacto aspect is rather clean. the beer could be polished up a little bit, but overall i was pretty impressed with this. i pretty much remain impressed by all of the modern times beer, glad to be seeing more and more of it around idaho. this is a cool fruit blend in a minimal but good base gose.

Handsome pinkish amber color but there is virtually no foam on pouring in the Maredsous goblet. Just a very slight fizz. Aroma is fresh and herbal, minty with a citrus note. Way less sour than most examples of the style that I've tried. Not noticably salty but it's definitely a strange way to treat fruit. Quite sippable, though, if you're in the mood for acidity.

Flavors are kind of intriguing, and it does taste like cranberry and cherry. Overall this is like the faintly flavored canned waters from the soft drink companies, just more interesting. From the 16 oz can purchased in the far Northwest.

Pint can - Canned on 06/17/19:

Pours pink with a reddish tint. Beautiful color. A fizzy head doesn't last. No real lacing. Bumped up the score a bit due to the color.

The smell is of various fruits - To me cherry and citrus (lemon) stand out.

The taste is of citrus and cherry. As it warms malt comes through. Cranberry tartness and touch of salt come through. Well balanced. Fruity and complex. Delicious!

Champagne-like spritz, especially initially. Very refreshing and smooth.

A unique beer. Fruity without being too sweet or sour. Nice gose character with a fruity twist.

L: Pinkish amber
S Strong lemon with some raspberry smell.
T: A wacky fusion of berries and lemons that peak up in the center and fade. Simple beer with a light layer of rose on top.
F Light much like a fruit juice.
O: A rose mix on top of a good sour. Doesn't add much for taste though..

Pours a beautiful pink hue like Babe the Pig being born. Aroma is faint tartness like those couches chicks used to pass out on because their cage crinoline was too tight. Taste is pleasant like a New York summer before the influenza scare.

A bit ok. A bit perfectly ok for the moment.

Yep!

16 oz can dated 8/14/18 poured into Ommegang glass.

It pours rose from the can but develops into more of a honey-amber color with a thin off white head of 1/2 finger. It's mostly clear.

Some tart funk on the nose - lemon, apricot, raspberry, slight strawberry.

All the fruits on the can are represented but some are louder than others. In order from loudest to quietest : Raspberry, Cherry, Cranberry, Lemon. The flavor has an effervescent quality about it, not necessarily flavorless, but it's not going to punch you like a New Glarus fruit beer does. Nice sour lacto funk on the finish. Good amount of soft malts. There's something very cherry 7up about this. Kind of like mixing regular and cherry together but without the sweetness.

Feel is refreshing and clean. Very crisp. Minimal lingering starches.

Overall an enjoyable offering but not quite as good as the original Fruitlands. Would make a good substitute if the original wasn't around for some reason.
