Harrow
Urban Artifact

12 fl oz can
Served in a shaker pint glass

This beer pours a murky amber hue. It is topped with a fleeting head that leaves no trace.

I get a bready smell along with the obligatory orange, coriander, and salt.

Tart orange. I get a briny coriander flavor as well.

Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel

Basic and refreshing. Great summer slammer.

 

 

For the brewery that has created such a favorable reputation based loosely on the Gose style, they rarely roll out a classic Gose- a traditional German-styled wheat ale of coriander and sea salt spiciness. ...until now.

With such a harrowing taste, Harrow pours pale and peachy-gold before floating a quick and spritzy white froth. A mild-mannered scent of wheat, must, orange and perfume rise above a slight burlap-accented nose. A gentle sweetness greets the palate with sourdough, light taffy and powdered sugar.

What start sweet soon turns tart with the beer's acidity gaining command with white grape, green apple, lemon, lime and passionfruit taste that soon turns moderately sour. Low in bitterness, the beer's balance comes from the sourness and the roundedness of salt that creates a fuller, almost margarita impression on the late palate.

Medium light in body, the fullness of lingering malts and salt create a fuller sensation for the palate before finishing brisk, briney and playfully with salinity. A series of brief echoes share those burlap, sourdough an floral attributes shortly after for a session that's simply the flavor of beer history.

Pink color, not much head, what head is there fades very quickly as well. Smell is light, far-away and fruity - like some citrus gummy bears lying on the floor across the room. Tart and sour through the finish, but a very balanced beer with the sweet and sour clashing under a heavy malt backing, leaving a more mild beer

"tart rather than sour"

Urban Artifact is quite good at beers like this. Harrow is a less ambitious gose with not additional fruit.

It pours light copper with little head. The aroma is a natural fruity yeasty smell. Easy on the nose. The taste is tart, but appropriately so. It does not exceed good taste - not an Americanized, more like how it should be (though this is a style that allows loads of lattitude).

Recommended.

Burnt gold-orange with a thin off-white fizzy head settling to next to nothing.

This is actually kind of woody and maply with notes of nougat at play, as the more classic gose notes of tart salty oak and aged lemon meet halfway, and almost take a back seat. The bubbly crisp body finishes dry.

This is easily the most unusual gose I've ever had, and that there's no description and they're simply labeling it "Gose" without any other additions or processes being made known boggles my mind even more.
