L: Had this beer on-tap at Growlers to Go - Short Pump, poured into a pint glass. Had a purple-ish color and a thick, viscous, smoothie-like consistency. There was a half inch of foamy, off white, long-lasting head. Good lacing.
S: A sweet and enticing aroma of berries, malt, dark fruit, and citrus fruit.
T: Tasted of a small amount of malt (not a huge factor), some citrus notes (oranges), a bit of dark fruit (plums, in particular), and a lot of raspberries (always nice). A tart, light, and sweet flavor. It's not as mouth-puckeringly tart as other beers with so much fruit, but it's definitely lively. Pretty tasty.
F: A decent amount of carbonation with a sharp finish. Medium-bodied.
O: An enjoyable, lightweight beer. Worth a try.

From the bottom of the can: "08 MAY 2019"
Appearance: The body of the beer is a mix of pink and purple. It is completely opaque and there is a short head that has a light pink hue to it. The head fades fast and leaves only a creamy ring.
Aroma: It smells a bit like sour milk and raspberries.
Taste: Up front there is a bit of a passion fruit and strawberry flavor. There is a bit of what tastes like carrot juice in the middle. The end has a bit of a boysenberry flavor.
Mouthfeel: It is light bodied and smooth with some thickness up front. It finishes a bit thin and a tad raspy.
Overall: It is a nice fruity tasting Gose. The can says this is "made with Plums, Pomegranate, Raspberry & Orange." These flavors really come through and it creates a nice diverse stroke of flavors across the palate. There wasn't a ton of Gose character in the beer and it did smell a bit off, so there is this internal battle between the high presence of fruit in the beer and the slightly lacking overall quality of the beer. I would say to a fruit lover that this is a beer to try, but to Gose enthusiasts I would say it's worth it more as a novelty. The nice fruity character and mild thickness of the beer makes this a good one to enjoy in some shade by a pond or outside on a cool windy day. I would drink it again from time to time.
