Real Ale Gose in cans

Only places who gets delivery on Fridays got them -

E1G and others should be getting it starting Monday...

CHeers,

No kidding. It rained all day here and never crept below 85.

 

Had a can last night. Not quite as stong of a lime flavor as on tap, but its there and its still delicious. Will obtain more today.

 

Sounds good to me. I thought it had too much lime when I tasted it on tap. It reminded me of a margarita.

 

This has more lime than I remember from on tap. Like a bud lite lime or margarita to me... Very different than westbrook gose, certainly. I'd prefer a bit less lime and a bit of sourness. A blend of the two would be perfect.

 

How's the price?

 

Looks like its in the $8.50-8.99 a 6-pack range so far.

 

I'm really starting to hate the Facebook page. I think I'm going to buy a Bud Lime when I get this and ask my wife to blind taste test me. lol There's just no way they're that similar.

 

They're not similar, other than both having lime. It's like saying Atrial and Razz-brr-ita are the same because they're both raspberry beers.

 

The first can I had had way more lime than I ever tasted on draft, almost to the point of being cloying. The second was more subdued. I'm not sure if it's variation, temperature, or just my taste buds getting acclimated though.

 

I've gone through 12 cans so far this weekend, 8 of those myself. I love it. We went to a dinner last night and I brought more and they were a big hit with the miller and coors light crowd. Even my wife loved it.

 

Has this made its way to Dallas yet?

 

"Bud Light Lime Lime-A-Rita and Bud Light Lime Straw-Ber-Rita are carefully brewed with a combination of barley malt, non-malted cereal grains and subtle hopping before they undergo special filtration. They are then blended with Bud Light Lime and additional ingredients to provide a refreshingly inviting margarita flavor. Bud Light Lime-A-Rita and Bud Light Straw-Ber-Rita contain 8 percent alcohol by volume (ABV)." - http://www.anheuser-busch.com/s/uploads/Bud-Light-Lime-Ritas-Fact-Sheet.pdf

So, no, they don't even pretend to use fruit.

 

So after hearing the price, I'm down to purchase 2 cases of this. Delicious, cheap, refreshing, and a style for which freshness isn't necessarily paramount. That's a recipe for a big-time purchase.

 

Saw on Twitter yesterday that these should be hitting DFW, anyone spot any yet?

 

Not sure yet. I have heard tomorrow by some places, no idea who is getting a delivery today. Haven't seen any updates from anyone yet.

 

Asked Specs in Plano. They didn't know when they were getting it.

 

It's available for sale from BEK Fort Worth tomorrow. Would expect Fern to get some tomorrow and we will place our order Thursday for delivery Friday. I'm sure you guys and gals all know your BEK delivery schedules so I would expect it on everyone's next truck. FWIW I was told it was plentiful

 

Whole Foods Park Lane got it in on Monday and I believe they planned on selling it starting today (Tuesday). They got 8 cases, apparently.

 

I guess I'm the only one not crazy about this beer...I drink a ton of Hans and Four Squared, but this one just didn't work for me. The lime was way too over bearing for me. But I'm glad other people are enjoying it. I'm gonna revisist a can today to confirm.
