Formerly Lemon Icebox Gose - Rotator Series
Gose with lemon zest, sea salt, and lactose to create a tart, sessionable treat. Complex, yet thirst-quenching.

CAN:
Currently #28 in the top Mississippi beers list. "Lemon gose." "Ale with natural flavors." 3.5% ABV. 118 kilocalories per can.
Artificial and a bit syrupy, leaning heavy into the artificial lemon flavours at the expense of authentic fresh flavours. Why not brew this with actual lemons - say, meyer lemons? Salt is barely noticeable. I don't taste any coriander. Not sour enough either. I'm missing that briney sea salt twang the gose style is known for.
Not a bad summer sipper, but it fails to impress or to deliver in terms of basic fundaments of the style. If this is one of the top 50 beers in the state, it seems the state doesn't have much to offer...

Pours a hazed amber wit a pinky of beige head. Zero head retention & lacing
S: Some citrus notes, a little lemon
T: Lemony notes, a little tartness, slight saltyness up front. More of the same as this warms, the lemon sweetart component gains strength. Finishes tart, a little dry with a bit of lemon sweetness
MF: Light bodied, slight carbonation
Very drinkable, approachable take on the style. I could put some of this away in the Summer

Clear light gold color with white cap and lacing.
Aroma of mild malt and light citrus.
Taste is just a bit puckery at first displaying a tartness that is nicely matched with the lemony citrus and a pinch of salt. Sort of Shandy meets the Surf. I would say lemon is the most prominent flavor with perhaps lime following. It's a nice blend that does come together in a pleasing whole and finishes dry.
Medium texture with balancing carbonation.
I'm puzzled why this is a Sept-Oct release when it so clearly identifies with Summer activities. It's pleasant none the less and easily drinkable.

12 oz can dated 4/24/18. Poured into straight walled pint glass.
Pours a darker-than-expected honey-straw color with a head of 1/2 finger that dwindles to nothing.
Nice salty-sweet aromas with nutty malt, clover honey, and lemon shaved ice;
Flavor is tart and mildly puckering, heavy on the flavor. Honey malt, lemon sherbet, lime, orange sherbet, cilantro, lactic acid, slight sea salt, and wheat malt.
Feel is crisp and pleasantly creamy, with a good snap and pucker to it.
Overall, a very enjoyable Gose beer. Very pleasantly surprised.

The beer pours out a hazy pale golden straw color, with a very thin white head----------- the aromas are of wheat, spice and floral notes(very subdued nose)-------------- the flavors are of wheat, grass and light lemon, the beer has a thin mouthfeel with a tart dry finish--------------- overall this beer was good I wish the lemon and lactose stood out more though

Incredible gose. I don’t even like gose beers or didn’t until I had this. I hope they make more because I was sad when I couldn’t get it again!

Lemon Icebox Gose has a medium, stark white head, a hazy, very bubbly, golden appearance, with minimal glass lacing and lots of white specs, suspended, throughout. Aroma is of lemon shandy, and the flavor is of lemon Gatorade, Popeye's biscuits, some lactic action, and no bitterness. You could think of this as Miller High Life Light with lemon juice, salt, and a dash of powdered milk, added. Mouthfeel is medium, and Lemon Icebox finishes mostly dry.

Had Icebox (formerly Lemon Icebox Gose), poured from 12-oz. can, stamped on bottom, "CANNED BY KEAZY ON 09/18/17," into wiili becher.
Pours gold, with clarity, and fizzing 1-finger off-white head, which eventually dissipates to a partial film, leaving almost no lace. Aroma of brine, mild malt, and, as it warms, lemon. On tasting, begins with brine, then lemon, then malt, before a drying lemon-brine finish.
Except for the surprising clarity, complementary addition of lemon zest, and crushable 3.50 ABV, a straightforward interpretation of the style, with all elements well-represented.
