    Brewery makes a mediocre beer. Beer gets mediocre reviews. BA members blame it on 'Merica.

    Classic

    @Sixpoint @JackHorzempa I just checked Beerfinder too. The only place that lists it (within reasonable distance to me) is Capones in Norristown. A favorite place of mine, but a litte bit far away.

    Keith,

    I just came back from Total Wine & More in Claymont, DE. They do not have the Gose (plenty of other Sixpoint beers though).

    I did pick up two 6-packs of Sucks that were bottled just a week ago (5/6/15).

    Cheers!

    Jack

    I didn't dislike this, but like others, I was expecting more sourness. I don't need it to punch me in the face, but it does need to actually be there. I had to search really hard to find even a subtle bit of sourness in this beer. A bit disappointed here, which is an unusual experience for me with a sixpoint beer.

    Thanks for the update Jack. I'll probably check again today at both Wegmans and The Beer Store in Malvern.

    Enjoy the Sucks, I'm on a Lagunitas boycott since that whole debacle, I won't buy any.

    @Sixpoint Shane the problem with only gettin the one case was resolved I got another shipment on Monday. Now I actually got to try it and glad I did. I've been drinkin nothing but gose the last few weeks and this one hit the spot without giving me the heartburn the rest of em do. Although not as salty as I would've like I'm not complaining. Thanks for my new summer go to

    Meh. Love anderson valley, but have heard enough about this beer to look elsewhere. I like more kick in my beers whether it be a stout (more body, thick and in your face)ipas (very bitter and hoppy) and goses/sours (salty and tart/very sour). It's one of the reasons I hate KBS, is because it's way too subtle. If I want subtle I'll drink water or juice. With that said, this isn't a slam... I love Resin and Hi-Res! Just don't think this one is for me. I'm sure I'll try a can if I can find one solo at some point

    ^ agreed. glad to see a gose on the shelves but was hoping Jammer would be more sour/tart. once that aspect is amped up I think we'll have a real winner.

    Started seeing Jammer a couple weeks ago in a liquor store that I frequent, and kept passing it up - was actually more surprised to see any SixPoint, I would normally have to travel 20 miles if I wanted to buy anything from SixPoint.
    There was one 6er left today when I went, I sucked it up, and picked it up. Anxious to try this Gose as I'm new to this style.

    I do have to admit at first I wasn't too fond of this beer but it has grown on me. I appreciate the fact you are putting your own twist on styles but I didn't like this one initially. I will pick up some more if I find some. I really like the wave can glass. I was surprised how thick and heavy the goblet was.

    Don't give up just yet, you might be surprised....

    how did you like it?

    That's not what happened here...its a divergence of expectations. BA ratings are only one metric to determine a beer's worth, but not the final say.

    get to know it in the meantime, and we'll have to let you know when to revisit!

    And probably best to make that determination AFTER trying it! :-)

    nice! are you referring to the Jammer can glass, or the Abigale goblet?

    Not what I expected, no way near as sour as I wanted, but there is something that sets it apart from the others..It's ok, and thanks, Sixpoint for putting out another unique beer !!

    Is there still lacto in there? Might be interested in setting some cans aside for a bit to see if the sourness will amp up a bit.

    This beer was far from a traditional gose. I did not like it and would not buy it again. Ever.

    This was the worst "Gose" I've every had...I truly don't think it fits the style and had a very flat plain flavor with absolutely no ambition. This was my first Sixpoint beer and I was thoroughly disappointed and discouraged to try anything else they put out.

    Dude.

    Don't pass on the entire brewery's lineup just because you didn't like a brand new and experimental seasonal. Especially a brewery like Sixpoint that has been doing this a long time and been very successful. I encourage you to try some of their other offerings. The Crisp is delicious this time of year.
