650ml bottle - wow, a straight-up Gose, with no fruity or flowery adjuncts, it's been a while!

This beer pours a slightly hazy, medium golden yellow colour, with two fingers of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly off-white head, which leaves but a few specks of remote islet lace around the glass as it quickly dissipates.

It smells of sour grain, some estery yeastiness, a whiff of baby puke, some muddled earthy spiciness, and faint leafy, herbal, and dead floral hop bitters. The taste is gritty and grainy cereal malt, mild salted crackers, ethereal coriander spice, some weak tart lactic 'character', and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral hoppiness.

The carbonation is quite timid in its damned-near inert frothiness, the body an adequate middleweight, and mostly smooth, with nothing really creating any sense of a disturbance at this particular juncture. It finishes off-dry, the lightly-soured malt exhibiting the most lingering moxie.

Overall - this is a more or less capably rendered version of the style, and aside from that misstep in the aroma, easy enough to put back - another pleasant salve for a string of sweltering days for we who are without A/C here in Wild Rose Country.
