Poured into one of those plastic stemless wine glasses and paired with a mediocre bean burrito, so suffice to say this beer's been the highlight of my evening.
Gorgeous dark pink-orange color. No head and no lacing. Pleasant orange-pineapple smell.
Brings sour candy to mind in a way that other sour ales I've tried do not. Maybe it's the especially sweet notes on the way down. You get the orange, it's very orange forward, and then you get the vanilla and coconut notes. Medium-bodied, feels heavier on the tongue than anticipated- I like that, you might not. A great beer all in all, will buy again.

Poured into a 16 oz Snulip glass canned on 2/07/21. Pours an attractive slighty cloudy orange with very little head and it leaves a very small amount of lace. 4
Aroma vanilla, mango, tangerine, pineapple, and just a whiff of coconut. 4
Taste follows vanilla and pineapple kick in in first, tangerine, pineapple, and again just a little coconut pretty darn tasty. 4
Mouthfeel is about medium, fairly gentle carbonation, not sticky or dry, and at 7.4% bursting with flavor but really easy sipping. 4
Overall I am starting to enjoy sours, this is really nice. 4

Best beer i ever drank. Just shotgunned a 4 pack and it burned a little but felt great. Really great for chugging. Best 18.99 i ever spent. Greatness.

A: Pours a golden orange color with a very quickly fading head that ceases to exist after a few seconds
S: Mango and pineapple up front along with some tartness and salinity. Vanilla, orange, and coconut more in the back
T: Starts off with a mix of tartness, vanilla, mango, and pineapple. Goes into a bit of the coconut and orange after the initial tartness fades a bit. Salinity present throughout. Finishes with lingering mango and vanilla
M: Medium bodied with moderate, lively carbonation
O: A solid fruited gose that is very easy to drink. Not super sour and well balanced with the fruit and salt. Worth checking out
