Live Oak Brewing Smoked Gose

“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:__ “Light citrus and grapefruit pith, and orange, grapefruit, and lime, complemented by light lactic sourness. Fruity and juicy on the nose, with an ever-so-slight wheat character malt at the back.” __Flavor:__ “Starts off with light sweetness and orange juiciness, and then becomes very tart citrus and lightly pithy. Notes of hops bitterness come in, along with lemon and lime. Strong lactic acid and bright acidity that linger in the back and on the cheeks. Salt carries throughout and is really fantastic. The finish is clean and sweet and tart, inviting you back for another sip.” __Overall:__ “Huge citrus bomb that has great tartness and sweetness with acidity that’s through the roof—like a Warheads candy. Juicy and thirst-quenching, and the touch of salt would make you want to drink more, while hitting the spot. An interesting contrast of flavors with some complexity and character.”

**Aroma:** “Fresh hay with lemon and grapefruit. Bright, sharply acidic, lactic nip in the nose. Salty. Tangy, fruity, citrus notes. Very light malt sweetness. Sour and fruity with some goat and barnyard.” **Flavor:** “Good, clean lactic acid tartness. Moderate sweet malty wheat with salt and high carbonation. Very lemony. Goaty in a good way. Finishes dry and slightly earthy with a nice mineral character. Crisp and refreshing.” **Overall:** “An excellent sour for the summer! A very clean beer with nice lemony tartness. The balance of salt, sourness, and sweetness makes this a great beer to have with food. This would be killer with fried chicken and potato salad, or even to cut through a beurre blanc. Light and refreshing.”
