3.3
DOC: 6/5/17
2015 BJCP Category: 27 Historical Beer: Gose
AROMA: Strong acidic character akin to lemon juice. Some salty sea breeze scent in the background. Very faint coriander. 9/12
APPEARANCE: Light copper hue (6-9 SRM). Mostly clear body. Small white soapy foam dissipates. No efflorescence. 1/3
FLAVOR: Strong sourness and acidity throughout. An underlying taste of lemon juice give it a citrusy quality. Coriander imparts slight orange flavor and spice on the finish (though fairly subtle). Salt is moderately-low but enhances the refreshing quality of the palette. No hop flavor or bitterness but none needed. 14/20
MOUTHFEEL: Medium-light body and carbonation. Little tepid for the style, though crisp and refreshing. Bone dry finish. Feels lighter and more overtly sessionable than 5.2% ABV. 3/5
OVERALL IMPRESSION: Has the basics of a gose for sure, but a little too simple and overly sour. 6/10
TOTAL SCORE: 33/50
