On tap at Farmer’s Cabinet. Pours a hazy light yellow-straw color with a nice, sticky white head. Good lacing. Thin cap. The nose carries some light acidity and wheat along with a touch of coriander. Flavor is lightly acidic with a slight salt presence through the finish. Very subtle and well done. Supremely drinkable, especially for a gose.

Draft at The Farmers' Cabinet.

Pours a hazy golden straw color with a thin, fizzy white head that quickly fades into a lasting ring. Spotty lacing left behind.

Slightly earthy aroma with sweet citrus, earhty grass, musty funk and bready yeast.  The citrus is very prominent with lots of lemon rind countered by a decent farmhouse yeast presence.

Medium bodied but fuller than expected with some good balance of slightly earthy funk, tart acidity, citrus and salt.  Salt flavor is present but not overwhelming and countered very nicely by the other notes.  Slightly dry with earthy/damp funk as well as some lemon peel citrus and lemongrass.  Again, the citrus is prominent but not as strong as nose suggests.  Really well balanced, refreshing and easy to drink.

First had: on tap at Farmer's Cabinet, Philly, PA

Wow, what a beer. A gose brewed with coriander and Himalayan pink salt.

An extremely active beer, this poured out a full weiss glass of foam from the tap and had to settle for about 5 minutes to get a 7oz. pour suitable for drinking. When it did settle, I received a cloudy liquid in a stem glass, light amber color, with a white, foamy head that receded to a ringlet and left soapy lacing on the glass. Grainy aroma, bread, funk, wet grass, distantly sour. Surprising taste that was actually quite distinct from the aroma in some ways; sour and lactic, huge grapefruit profile with notes of pineapple, hints of white wine, juicy and bursting with flavor. Medium body, intensely drying finish. Nicely made, easily drinkable, an excellent beer overall. They should make this a regular house beer.

On tap at the Dupont Paradiso yesterday.

A mildly hazy yellow with a dense white head with surprisingly good retention for the style, this looks nice. The nose is great. The most prominent characteristic is the bready, doughy, malt character, really raw and rustic. Along with it is a mild spice, a moderate lemon sourness and some salt. The palate is just outstanding. Opening sour with an intensity that isn't really hinted at by the nose, this has plenty of lemon sourness that opens up your tastebuds to the expertly balanced combination of salt and cilantro. Moderately funky as well (earthy, farmhouse) to go with the doughy and yeasty character. Light in body, moderately carbonated, and with a long, refreshing finish that's bright, salty and lightly spicy, this is an excellent gose.

Poured on tap at pizza paradiso Dupont into a mug.

The mug doesn't seem to show off this brew that nicely, a dull brown and yellow amber body, unfiltered looking, lots of real nice rising straight carbonation though. Head is quite creamy looking and falls slowly with very tiny bubbles in it. Manages a real solid collar. If this were in a better vessel it would probably look real good.

Nose is a big whiff of fresh squeezed tart lemon, and salty brinyness. There isn't much malty wheat sense but no matter, smells inviting.

Palate has huge lemon tartness. Crisp tartness of lemon rolls all over, with other fruits such as apricot seeming to come out. It seems like that's all there is to it, but then the finish has a great toasty whit bread and flour dry feeling. Light bodied and salivating too. Not so much of a chewy wheaty texture to this though.

Overall the salt action seems to really come out and dry my tongue and make me even more thirsty, and want more. This might be the best Gose I've had to date it's fantastic real winner.

On-tap

Sits a golden straw color with a fizzy bone white cap. The head rose a little over a finger and then settled to a thin coating over the beer. Pretty active carbonation.

Even if I didn't know there was Himalayan Pink Salt in this thing, I would definitely be able to tell there is salt in this guy. The nose is rounded out by earthy notes, lemons, and a sharp graininess.

On the palate, lemony citrus hits you first before a rush of salt and spice and a biting graininess. The finish is tart with a mixture of salt and coriander spice.

Light to medium body with moderate carbonation that works well with the style.

This beer is flat out delicious. The Himalayan pink salt? Never heard of it, but it works to give this nice contrast/compliment to the sour nature of the beer. Well done.
