0.75l bottle, 4.5% a/v
VERY strange bottle, brought back from germany by my mom from her recent trip there.
Very light yellow pour, like sunshine/lemons with a decent long lasting white head. Nose is very complex, and is hard to describe, wheat, citrus, hay, spice, and coriander seem to be the major players. The taste is also intriguing, it starts off with very little taste, then you have the mild bitterness of the lactic acid, followed by the spice of the wheat and coriander, with an aftertaste almost of raspberries. VERY complex and interesting beer.

Oct 2, 2008 Draught at the brewpub. This is my first gose, and I look forward to it. The color is murky, dark golden and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma has notes of fruit, peach, dust, grain and chewing gum. The flavour is slightly sour, slightly sweet and fruity with lemon being the dominant fruit note. It’s very refreshing, uncomplicated and nice.

Sep 17, 2008 (330 ml bottle from Bootlegger’s) Pours cloudy gold with a sturdy two fingers of white head. Aroma is sort of honeyish with some hops, perhaps a hint of smoke. Mouthfeel fairly smooth, a bit fizzy from the noticeable carbonation. Weepy sheets of lacing. Flavor is quite gueuze-like, sourish and tangy with some honeyish maltiness underneath. Spice/coriander notes emerge more toward finish as it warms. Fairly acidic. Guess this would a German gueuze? One of those that I didn’t particularly enjoy but appreciate its quality.

Sep 12, 2008 Bottle: Pours a hazy pale yellow colorw ith small white head. Nose is light but with touches of wheat, salt, coriander, citrus orange, funk and earthiness. Initial taste tart, citrus, salt, coriander and some grassiness. Similar to lite version of lambic gueze. Mid palate displays some other citrus qualties like lemon. Finishing with a good palate duration and refreshing. Extremely light bodied and easy drinking for a tasty treat. Mouthfeel is a little aggressive like champaign but is interesting. Average head retention.
