COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Loosely based on an obscure style of sour from Germany, a Gose is soured in the mash, ofter herbs are added, but salt is always added. The salt creates a truly unique mouthfeel and helps pull out the flavors. In this all barley base, we add 14 pounds of pumpkins per barrel and also put a little bit of pumpkin pie spice. Refreshing and classic, this is an amazing food beer.

Golden amber hazy with a thin head. I am sure glad I knew what I was getting. This was a Gose with added flavors. Lots of extra goodies in this beer. .

Hazy golden color with no head. Mild raw pumpkin, fall spice, pie crust aromas. Medium body with very light co2. Big lactic sourness at first gives way to salty, spicy herbal cumin flavors with a dash of pale malt and vegetal pumpkin--typical twisted Epic brew--not bad

CheersMate (1292) - Fremont (Seattle), Washington, USA - OCT 30, 2012
Vibrant, hazy orange body. Smells of sour citrus fruit, with a touch of salt. No head to speak of. Sour citrus body, with a little salt at the end, but completely fucking flat. Disgusting texture. Couldn’t have said it better, when someone said "brine", as that’s, pretty much all this is good for. I don’t know what the straw is that’s going to break the camel’s back at this brewery, but this is the last beer that I will purchase from this brewer, until I see some stellar improvement. Seriously, I’ve been constantly let down by this brewing company, and can’t say anything other than the guy is nice, but he’s doing horribly, when it comes to brewing.

Tap @ Elysian’s GPBF 2012... Epic Ales doesn’t have the best track record in my book, so I took one for the team here with this pour. Honestly, wasn’t as horrid as I expected. Poured bright, yellowish-orange with no head. Brine-like mouthfeel and character. Didn’t get much pumpkin here, nor salt, but I am guessing the salt contributed to the mouthfeel. Some malt sweetness and spices and earthiness with an awkward tanginess towards the end.

Dark orange, no head. Funky nose. Sour, salt and old shoe. The body is funky and acerbic. Sour. Tart. Rotten salt. Twangy. Grapefruit rind finish.
