16 oz can into a tulip glass.
Pours a hazy deep amber color with a finger of off-white head. The head leaves quicker than my dad. No lacing to speak of.
The aroma starts off by absolutely punching you in the face with fresh pineapple. There's plenty of blood orange and vanilla with some lime starburst candies. Remember those? Very subtle salinity. Honestly has a nice tequila thing going on.
The flavor follows the nose: Pineapple punch to the face, blood orange and grapefruit, lime juice and sea salt. Subtle lactic acid. Has a nice wheat backbone with some vanilla on the finish.
The feel is medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Has a lingering tart character with a coating salinity.
Overall, this is a very good fruited Gose. It comes precisely as advertised, yet never abandons the basics of the style. It's sweet, sour, and fruity with subtle salinity. Definitely worth trying.
