650ml bottle - the second in their Forage Series, inspired by wild Alberta strawberries. Yum!

This beer pours a clear, pale bronzed amber colour, with three fingers of puffy, finely foamy, and somewhat fizzy pink-tinged white head, which leaves pretty much nothing in the way of lace anywhere near the glass as it quickly dissipates.

It smells of gritty and grainy cereal malt, saltine crackers, some musty yeastiness, faint indistinct berry fruity notes, and ethereal earthy, leafy, and floral noble hop bitters. The taste is bready and grainy pale malt, saline solution, some mealy dark fruitiness, fading estery yeast, and more well-understated earthy, musty, and floral green hoppiness.

The carbonation is adequate in its palate-pinging frothiness, the body a basic medium weight, and mostly smooth, as only the mild salty essence may be a small cause for concern here. It finishes trending dry, the malt maintaining a crackery lingering stance.

Overall - yeah, this is certainly more 'gose', than 'strawberry' in its bearing. It's not bad, but I was imagining that burst of insane fruity goodness that you get when eating one of those tiny strawberries you find growing on the sides of mountain hiking paths in the late summer. Ah well.
