16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/18/2018. Pours very hazy dark ruby red/pink/orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a small cap that lasts. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of big juicy/sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast/peppercorn, lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and pale/wheat malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge juicy/sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast/peppercorn, lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness, fruit tang, and light spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour/tart/tangy red raspberries, fruit skin/seeds, lemon, lime, orange, grapefruit, peach, plum, pear, apricot, red/green apple, red grape/wine, sea salt, hay, straw, grass, wheat, cracker, biscuit dough, light toast/peppercorn, lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a fantastic malt/tart/sourness and tangy fruit balance; with no puckering/astringent flavors after the finish. Fairly crisp finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering tart/sourness and tangy fruit. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/bready/grainy, acidic/tangy/tannic, and fairly saline balanced mouthfeel that is fantastic. Zero warming alcohol for 5.5%. Overall this is an incredible fruited gose. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of raspberries, fruity/acidic yeast, sea salt, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly acidic/tangy/tannic/drying finish. Nicely soft feel, and not overly lactic/salty. Fantastic balance of super juicy/jammy berries and lacto complexity; with a nice sized pale/wheat malt backbone against acidity. Mild residual sweetness with crisp acidic/tangy dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and outstanding spot on style example as expected.
