Destihl Brewery Wild Sour Series Here Gose Nothin’ Gose at 5.2% ABV (US$2.83 at Specs Main Houston, 355 ml, no bottle date or best before, reviewed 7-Feb-2016)
Appearance: slightly hazy medium gold with a short, short-lived white head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: sour lemon, dry hay funk, light brine. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, high tart, light salt. (8/10) Palate: light body, moderate carbonation, dry tart finish. (3/5)
Quite an interesting beer, but I’m not sure it’s in-spec for a gose. Don’t get me wrong, I like it quite a bit: there’s lots of wild and funky sourness going on, but perhaps a bit beyond what one might expect in a gose. The sour finish takes a bit of a long time to diminish, and only then is the light saltiness of the gose really revealed. I’d probably rate this slightly higher if it were classified as a Sour or an American Wild. That said, I’d definitely drink this again, and recommend it to anybody who enjoys sours, without hesitation. (15/20)
