Pours a golden color with a medium sized, spongy and immediately receding white head.
Offers aromas of orange zest, lighter lime rind and a hint of salty caramel.
Its mouthfeel is truly refreshing, due to its high, stony carbonation and perfectly fitting lighter body.
Tastes of tart, yet ripe oranges, fermenting bread dough and a pleasant note of salt among a balancing, rustic toffee sweetness. Offers a mineralic, bitter middle part with uprising limes and dried leaves. Finishes with blood oranges, a lasting, well fitting effervescence, prominent limes and sun ripened oranges.
Streamlined and easy drinking, utmost refreshing Gose with a well nuanced and fitting use of oranges.

Bought in the Netherlands (Jumbo in Stein). Never seen Põhjala in a shop in Belgium. I was happy with the find.
Served in my "Seef" tumbler.
Very carbonated. Orange in colour. Head vanished immediately.
Scent is very herbal: grass, oregano and coriander with a slight hint of freshly pressed orange juice.
Flavour is thin. Mainly an ortificial orange flavour. Sweet at the start, but turns more sour quick. Noticable carbonation.
Aftertaste brings some malts along and some of that saltiness. Mouthfeel is slightly sticky.
I am undecided. A summer drinker free from any complexity.

Cerveza anaranjada, con un dedo de espuma de poca retención. De cuerpo ligero y carbonatación media. Aroma cítrico y un poco de cilantro. En boca es similar a como se huele pero en menores proporciones, destacando la naranja en su sabor.

Pours a slightly cloudy deep amber coloration with a small, fizzy head that soon fades to nothing. Smells of biscuity malt and oranges, with just a hint of coriander as well. Taste follows the nose, being dominated by slightly sweet'ish biscuity malt and oranges, with a lighter note of coriander and just a hint of sea salt coming through as well. Finishes with a light acidity and some oranges and coriander lingering in the aftertaste. Smooth mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
This is a very nice and true to style understated Gose with a light acidity and a good orange presence, pepped up by a noticeable coriander presence and just a hint of salt. Very easy-drinking and refreshing.

Pours a cloudy deep orange color with a small top off white head that dissolves quickly.
Aroma is of orange, zeest, corriander and some salt.
The flavour is fruity with notes of oranges and slightly sour. It is some slight salt notes in the flavour as well as some notes of corriander.
The finish has some citric bitterness. Aftertaste dissappear quickly.
Smooth and fresh mouthfeel with a prickly carbonation and a light body.
Not my typical beerstyle, but very refreshing on a hot summer day.
