Westbrook Brewing Company Gose

**Aroma:** “Big fruity aroma, very Belgian. Slight bubblegum. Peppery and herbal, jasmine with notes of coriander and orange. Hints of pine needles and earthiness. Hops are mildly citrusy and floral.” **Flavor:** “Very spicy and peppery. There’s a tannic character at the end and a considerable woody flavor. High hop bitterness with moderate honey wheat sweetness. The citrus works well. The dried banana, candy, and interesting peppery and spice notes are more typical of a Belgian yeast. Finishes slightly bitter with nice acidity.” **Overall:** “The brewer took some chances on it compared to a classic wit, and it paid off. Nice complexity of pepper and spice with light sweetness that is complemented by the wood. Great creamy mouthfeel and a very refreshing beer.”

“Pleasantly refreshing. Light cherry esters with some tart wheat notes on the nose. Flavor is lemony with a soft light acidity and spritzy effervescence. Brackish enough to emphasize the tart. Easy-drinking. Here comes the sun!”

**Aroma:** “Bright lemony citrus aroma with light mango. Light tart aroma with a mild saltiness. Some salt character on the nose. Refreshing and crisp.” **Flavor:** “Moderate fruity lemon tart up front with light grapefruit mango and raspberry. Light bitterness toward the end of the taste and finishes with a light sour note. The moderate carbonation plays well with the sourness creating a nice level of complexity. Crisp and refreshing.” **Overall:** “Very sessionable with a pronounced citrus fruitiness balanced with a nice sour backbone. This beer is fruit-forward with a nice underlying tartness. Very drinkable with appropriate sweetness, a little lactic-acid tartness, and slightly salty.”
