Zero Issue Brewing Reality Blackberry-Lemon Gose Gose at 4.1% ABV (C$3.92 at Collective, 473 ml, packaged on 12-Jul-2019, acquired 16-Jul-2019, reviewed 22-Jul-2019)
Appearance: hazy ruby with one finger of loose pale pink head diminishing gradually to a thin cap, no lacing. (3/5) Aroma: field berries, lemon, lactic sour, light brine. (7/10) Taste: moderate sweet, moderate tart, low bitter. (7/10) Palate: medium-light body, moderate-lively carbonation, clean tart finish. (4/5)
Not really much of a Gose, if you ask me – any brine and funk (which is key for Goses, in my opinion) is completely overwhelmed by the fruit and kettle souring. I hate to say it, because aside from sours I think these guys are doing pretty solid brews, but much like their Innsmouth Sour, I find this to be less than impressive. (14/20)
