The Wild Beer Co. Sleeping Lemons Export Gose at 6% ABV (C$5.49 at Oak & Vine, 330 ml, best before 28-Dec-2020, acquired 25-May-2018, reviewed 2-Jun-2018)
Appearance: hazy/muddy pale gold with a short, shot-lived white head, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: intense zesty lemon, brine, wheat. (8/10) Taste: moderate sweet, high tart, low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate carbonation, tart wildly warming finish. (3/5)
I don’t know if I’d call this “refreshing”, but those lemons aren’t exactly sleeping, and they sure as hell wake you up! I love lemon in general, and salted preserved lemons in particular, but this is so aggressively tart, it becomes a bit hard to drink. Instead of being a refreshing quaff, it’s a slightly challenging sipper. Good stuff, yes, but not one I’m in a hurry to try again. (14/20)
