What the brewers say

“Cranberry lemonade gose, blending tart and sweet real fruit into a drinkable—and sharable—sparkling package.”

What our panel thought

“Super bright lemonade aroma, fresh-squeezed, cut with a curl of lime zest. Bit of doughy malt character. Flavor is pronounced cranberry and citrus; lemon flavor sidles closer to furniture polish. Moderately tart, balanced with salt and sweetness. Cranberries add some nice color. Drinkable. Low complexity.”

What our editors thought

“Minty fresh, vaguely fruity nose offers red fruit with a lemony acidic streak. The sip softens the initial sharp acidity with a rounder chalky finish.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

West Sixth Brewing Co Tart Cherry Crumble

“Pleasant rounded aroma with vanilla, berry, and a bit of cinnamon spice. The flavor is a baker’s delight—mellow Chinese cinnamon, Door County cherries, pillowy vanilla—giving the impression of pie. Restrained, but packed with flavor.”

TRVE Brewing Co. Meditation is the Practice of Death

Rich fruit character, though not distinctly cherry; also Brett, wood, and earth. Lack of head suggests wine. Oak character adds pleasant light spiciness, with fruit fermentation esters; tart, with berry notes. Subtle yet complex.

Anderson Valley Briney Melon Gose

**Aroma:** “Melon-like fruit sweetness is pronounced in the nose with some underlying honey notes, and some light lemon-like tartness in the back. Fruit-forward and sweet up front. Muted overall with a light sour and saltiness.” **Flavor:** “A lactic tartness hits up front followed by some melon-fruit sweetness that helps to balance and cut through the acidity. The acidity and melon sweetness carry through the light and sweet finish. The saltiness only adds to the melon sweetness, which transitions to a medium-sour finish.” **Overall:** “A nice blend with some melon sweetness that goes well with the salt character. The carbonation level is a little low, but still enjoyable. Big sourness with a touch of watermelon sweetness creates a great combination. Very drinkable and pleasing.”
