    Yes, it's out and quite good. Still prefer Westbrook but this is less salty and the hibiscus doesn't assault the palate.

    I picked up a bottle of this today to try. I've never had a Gose before so I don't really know what to expect.

    It is quite delicious, a bit more mild than the Anderson Valley offering and especially Westbrook's..but ooh la that pinkish color!!

    It has been out for a while, at least in KC. Very good hybrid gose. Sweeter than most, with a pinkish hue from the hibiscus. Very aromatic and well balanced. Dangerously refreshing.

    I've never tried a gose beer before I picked this up. A nice change of pace.

    You could say that. A slightly different sourness than more traditional German gose but good nonetheless

    I thought it tasted more of a sour with a salty finish. I was expecting it to not taste as well as it did. It's well worth picking up a 6 pack.

    If you want to try it and don't see it send me a BM and I'll make sure we work something out. Worst case scenario, I just send you a bottle or two. Cheers!

    Grabbed a bottle. Poured a pretty pink color, tasted like an average gose with a bit of floral flavor. For the same price I would grab anotheer gose, but t isnt bad.

    It's a good beer for sure, but more than two would be impossible for me. I like drinking beer. Like I've said before, I would never have thought Americans would embrace any Gose or even the concept. These beers are made for nicely baked white fish- preferably cod. The sour craze marches on. What's next?

    I never stay on any beer for more than 2 usually, easily bored or distracted I suppose...
