(16 oz can, 'community inspired' 10JUN2021; purchased cold single from Pop's Garage, Asbury Park... poured into a fat tulip)
L: lots of foam!; opaque, foggy-hazy, pale amber liquid... foam fritters away into a frayed collar... no lace... looks drab and dead
S: no lie, the most raw, 3D cucumber aroma I've sniffed in a beer (wait, how many cuke beers have you had?!?); is it a combo of the coriander and salt(?) but the cucumber has a 'seasoned' edge to it... some of the underlying doughy wheat is apparent... mellow intensity, failing to enhance the expressive ingredients
T: that 'seasoned' cuke leaps out on the palate, however, that base wheat beer and its spicing now rush ahead, meeting the expressive level of the greenery, and they jostle for dominant position till the end
F: very delicate zip and sizzle; dry, cut, flat body, with little residual film, though its brine seems to draw moisture from the palate... bit of a powdery puff from the wheat up front; altogether light and dry, with the spice and soft booze perhaps creating a bit of warmth at the back
O: call this a 'fruit and field', but the can descriptors: 'brewed with Pilsner, wheat, coriander & sea salt', etc... sounds like a Gose, no?... its mild-moderately briny and 'fresh' in its featured flavor, but not quite moreish or dynamic, and would probably easily get buried in a food pairing, and paired it begs to be... higher marks warranted, but it's a bit too muddy (1804)

Added by Act 25. Loved their Double Vision, (4.15) and troubled by this one, aptly named, tween a gose and a fruit & field beer.
a) duller, quickly flatter than most hazed veggie beers, head disappears no energy, flattish.
s) Funky first comes to mind, frat floor, wet mop, damp pfd.
t) Once past the funk, there's the sea salt, which reminds my of my wet ocean paddling gear, and a walk on nearby pompamora or sandy hook - overwhich twin lights peers. But not alot going on, so thinking about what can I use this to cook with? Or which beer will not be ruined in a blend?
f) thinnish, flattish
o) This one perhaps needs to be fresh as it did not live well in the can.
