Had on tap. Pours hazy, light brown in color with minimal head. Taste is English malt and blackberries. Sweet, medium bodied and carbonation. Not much salt. Tastes like an English ale.

8oz glass at Beer Revolution YEG Oliver Square. Wait, what? A gose from Fuller's? An apparent collaboration with Heretic Brewing.

This beer appears a hazy, medium copper amber colour, with one skinny finger of puffy, loosely foamy, and bubbly eggshell white head, which leaves some broadly strewn specked lace around the glass as things slowly sink away.

It smells of musty blackberries and raspberries, grainy and bready pale malt, faintly salted white crackers, a touch of earthy yeastiness, and ephemeral leafy and floral green hop bitters. The taste is mildly tart generic berry flesh, gritty and grainy pale malt, a lesser wheaten cereal character, saline water, plain yeast, and more wan leafy, herbal, and floral noble hoppiness.

The carbonation is damned near non-existent in its weak-sauce frothiness, the body a so-so middleweight, and generally smooth, nothing really making a fuss here. It finishes off-dry, and plain as ever was.

Yeah, having an iconic British brewery join ranks with a Californian craft outfit which has a spotty track record with getting out of its American style comfort zone, to make an esoteric Teutonic brew sounds like a crazy idea, because it is. Boring, and not worth the 5-ish bucks I dropped on this.
