Apple Spice Gose
Crane Brewing Company

 

A: straw colored with no head.
S: fruity and sour
T: malty with a slight sourness and maybe a little salty.
M: medium body. average carbonation, probably a bit low.
O: makes your mouth water a little bit.

Poured from a can. Yellowish and hazy in color with a small head. On the nose you can tell it's a fruit gose but don't really get apple. Apple cider in the flavor with a sour side to it. Pleasant, seems like a great fall beer but good anytime.

A: The beer is a bit hazy yellow in color and has a moderate to high amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a quarter finger high white head that quickly settled down, leaving a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light aromas of sour apples are present in the nose along with hints of cinnamon.
T: The taste follows the smell, except that flavors of cinnamon spices are stronger. There is a light amount of sourness.
M: It feels light- to medium-bodied and a bit tart on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: I liked the combination of apples and cinnamon in this beer - it almost tasted like the filling from an apple pie except that it was sour instead of sweet.

Serving type: can

Pours a bright effervescent gold with rapidly falling beige head. Below average head retention & lacing

S: Tart apples, woody hops, some hay & barnyard once it warms

T: Follows the nose, a little golden delicious apple, brown sugar, & dryness up front. Tart Golden Delicious apples, lime, dryness and a touch of salt as this warms. Finishes a little dry, tart , with Golden Delicious Apple & a little lime & salt

MF: Light/medium body & crisp carbonation

Drinks really easy, refreshing even on a fall day, spices fade quick, but the base beer is nice

 

Pours a translucent copper-straw with a hearty three fingers of white foam. Aroma is apple, spices and bready malts in a hearty apple cider blend. Lemon zest and cellar floor add a little additional depth and zest. It's punchy. Flavor profile is apples, spices, light vinegar and bready malts with hints of lemon zest and cellar stone. It's zesty and punchy with lots of twangy and tangy tartness, just like real apple cider. Mouth feel is crisp with a medium-thin consistency. It feels like a crisp as heck lager. Overall, punchy with an intense focus on what the label bills - apple spice.

Served in a 15.5oz Speigalau tulip from a 375mL bottle.

 

 

 

On tap. Poured out a pale auburn color with a small, khaki-colored head of foam. It smelled of apple, cinnamon and bread crust. It tasted like a liquid tart, cinnamon apple pie.
