Wild Rose Brewery Wild Rose Gose Rider Gose at 4.0% ABV
Pours a slightly hazy bright straw yellow with one finger of dense white head, excellent retention and light to moderate lacing. Nose is citrus, salt, with faint wheat and coriander. Taste is is similar, leading with salty citrus and finishing slightly sour. Medium to light body, with moderate sustained carbonation.
Dunno if this is all that representative of the style, since the brewers seem to have worked from theory instead of direct experience. Mind you, since the style actually went extinct, that’s kind of true across the board. What causes me more concern is the “Enjoy by 09/01/2013”, making me wonder if it’s a little less tart than it should be. That being said, it’s not bad – the tartness makes it fairly refreshing, but I’m not sure the saltiness actually adds anything.
