Aroma is wheat and mild notes of blueberry and candy. THe flavor is blueberries, watermelon/mostly Jolly Rancher, mild salt and a tart/wheaty finish.

16 fl oz. can, canned two days ago - 11/8/16. "Watermelon Blueberry Gose" "Ale brewed with Watermelon, Blueberry, and Sea Salt". This beer should probably be listed under Hailstorm Brewing Company as that is where it was brewed and packaged at, and is brewed in collaboration with Imperial Oak Brewing. A pretty poor pun, and a pretty poor name for a beer, but i digress...

Poured into a Duvel tulip.

A - Pours a Himalayan sea salt pink colored body, with a finger of lightly pinkish-tinted white foam head that falls to a soapy ring, leaving some okay spotty lacing. Appears aptly carbonated. Looks nice per the style, to be sure.

S - Aroma is tart & pleasant, with some good yeasty / bacterial sourness present, a good dose of earthy juicy blueberry flesh. Any watermelon / melon rind that does come through is subtle. Fresh, fruity, & tart.

T - Taste follows the nose: lots of good mouth-puckering acidic sourness, fresh juicy blueberry, & a yeasty bacterial finish. Again, the watermelon flavor seems to be somewhat lost in the mix. Very delicious stuff.

M - The feel is smooth, crisp, creamy, & very tart. I'm absolutely loving on the high levels of acidic tartness going on here. Very light-bodied and easy drinking stuff.

Overall, I'd call it a decent interpretation on the modern American fruited gose.
