Pours a clear and pale golden yellow with a big fizzy head and only moderate lacing. Nose is light with a wheat tang and some light fruit and floral character. The wheat flavor comes through in the taste with a bit of graininess, mild lemon acidity and only a slight taste of coriander. The added salt is perceptible as it warms but does not stand out. Mouthfeel is soft and medium bodied with a spritzy carbonation. Unique and different beer. On the light side but still a good amount of flavor. Literally made my mouth salivate after the first sip.

11.2 ounce bottle. Pours a hazy straw color with a white head of foam that fizzles down to a thin cap. Aroma is very light and fruity with busy a touch of salty zing hiding in the back. Its just salty enough to make the mouth water. Wheaty, bready notes come through in the taste. I also get a bit of salted lemon. Interesting style. One I could get into, I think.

Pretty hazy orange brew. Smells of sulfur, honey, and spice. Tastes like salty lemony apple juice. Light carbonation seems natural fermented. Strong sour finish. Would be better with slightly less salt and better aroma. Pretty tasty though.

Interesting. It has a rather unique wheat and sour thing going on in both the aroma and the taste. The pour is a murky gold with a thin white head that leaves minimal lacing. The coriander up front makes you assume it’s going to be a typical wheat flavored beer but the sour taste that follows really makes this different. it’s not exactly the best blend or easiest drinking beer but I like it’s originality. Not bad!

Pours a light yellow with medium carbonation. Looks like any ole lager. Aromas of light pepper, slight lemon, and coriander. Flavors of light lemon, light coriander, slight peppery note, slight orange peel, and light grain. Leaves just a light grain aftertaste and just enough of salt in the finish to "let you know its there." Interesting style. My first to try from it.

From the bottle, shared at NHC. Pours a pale gold, hazy with a white head. Nose has some yogurt, light crackery wheat and citrus-coriander. Clean. On tasting, moderate tartness, low caramelized bread notes. Bready, low citrus and clean. Yogurt and wheat. Dry finish. Minerally mouthfeel, filling. Nice stuff.

Blonde paille légèrement voilée. Une bonne mousse qui se résorbe lentement. Odeurs de blé, de levain, d’épices, de gingembre frais et un quelque chose qui me rappelle le bord de la mer par un temps venteux ou peut-être tout simplement des herbes salines. Un goût très agréable et différent. Le blé acidulé, ou du moins, du levain me semble faire partie des saveurs. Une texture et une impression minérale accompagnée d’une pincée de sel. Encore là, nous sommes près de l’océan. (508-050113)

Clear pale amber with a small white head that dissipates slowly with some lacing. Aroma is wheat, coriander, lemon. Flavor is about the same, just a bit of salt. Light sweet, no real bitterness. Coriander flavors are very muted. Medium body, silky mouthfeel. Interesting beer. Just a touch of tartness in the flavor.

A hazed golden gose with a thin white head. In aroma, a light sweet creamy malt with light vanilla, but no acidity. In mouth, weak, watery, lightly oxidized, a bit of butterscotch...something wrong here. There was a weird sticky substance in the neck of the bottle.

Draft and bottle, 16 Tons Taphouse. Appearance is very light, slightly cloudy golden straw. Lots of head. Aroma is slightly grassy, maybe some seaweed as well? Light, lively body. Finish is slightly spicy, very refreshing. Would be a damn fine summer beer were it not for the cost.
