Ruby Slippers was released in May 2022 as SoPro's newest seasonal, available in 12-oz. 6-pks. and on draft. Had poured from 12-oz. can, bottom stamped (apparently) canned on "04/12/2022" into willi becher.

Pours murky red grapefruit, with 1/2-finger near-white head, which as expected soon dissipates to a minimal ring, leaving no lace. Aroma of mild cracker and some citrus peel off pour, then nice lime and as warms, yes, also watermelon. Begins tart, with cracker malt beneath and a sea salt chaser, over a surprisingly creamy body, and then mild lime joins, with a bit of watermelon eventually working in before a crisp, tart, and a bit briny finish.

A far more subtle experience than one might expect, with the lime and watermelon--which in the American South is traditionally eaten with salt--deftly tucked into and balanced with the traditional elements of a gose.
