Garage Project Pickle Beer

Posted on by Evan

Anything pickle I will pretty much like. Pickle Beer from Garage Project in Wellington City, New Zealand caught my eye on the Burn Ends menu in Singapore. This beer is a dill cucumber sour at 4.3% ABV. This beer pour a light pickle brine green with a thin one-finger head. It fades really quickly. The aroma is of faint/tart pickle. The flavor is not over briny with dill pickle, it rather light on the dill pickle. There is a nice tartness to this beer that is more of a sour/gosé. This beer has a light mouthfeel. Then it comes to a tart, light pickled finish with a sour/tart aftertaste. This is a good beer that is not overly pickled. I give this Garage Project Pickle Beer an A+. This is an easy drink beer that is refreshing and goes down easy. This would be great on a hot day. If you are ever in Singapore or New Zealand I highly recommend you drink this beer. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly. Cheers!

Posted on by Evan

This beer is Fruitlands Sangria Gose from Modern Time Beer in San Deigo, California. This is a sour Gose-style beer that is 4.8% AB. I purchased this from The Citizens Public Market in Culver City. This Gose has Pilsner, malted wheat, and flaked wheat malts. This beer pours a magenta color with a one-finger slightly pink head. This Gose beer has a slightly sour, salty, and sweet aroma. The aroma is tropical fruit, like guava, melon, and passion fruit. The flavor is tart, sweet and sour. There is guava, melon, and passionfruit. This beer has a mild tartness with minimal sour notes. This beer is light on in the mouth. Then you get a tart but tropical finish. The aftertaste is of tart tropical fruits. I found this beer not so great at first. But after a few sips, this Gose started to get better. I would give this beer a C-. I think Westbrook Brewing Gose, in my opinion, is the best version. With the addition of fruit makes the not an even comparison but close. This Fruitlands Gose is not the worst, but I would rush back to try this. Please stay safe, be kind to each other, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Westbrook Brewing Co. Gose

Posted on by Evan

Gose is an almost extinct German style that usually uses coriander and salt. This particular Gose is Westbrook Brewing Co. Gose. It is 4% ABV from Mt. Pleasant, South Carolina. This one does use coriander and salt. The beer pours yellow color with a one-finger fizzy and thin white head. The aroma is salty, sour, tart, and lightly fruity. The taste is tart, salty, and sour. The best way ti describes this beer is it is like a margarita. Then it finishes with a tart and sour flavor. Then you get a salty, tart, and sour aftertaste. The sour note lingers. The mouthfeel is light. This Gose is one of the, if not the best American craft Gose beers. I give Westbrook Brewing Co. Gose an A+. I highly recommend this Gose. If you have not had this beer, then you are missing out. This beer is a good beer you can have over and over, in moderation. Please be kind, stay safe, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

NoDa Brewing Company Watermelon Gose

Posted on by Evan

This locally made beer, Watermelon Gose, 4.0% ABV, is from NoDa Brewing Company in Charlotte, North Carolina. This sour beer fermented on watermelon puree with NoDa’s original Gose base. This beer pours a golden color with a thick two-finger white head that fizzy away rather quickly. The aroma is light watermelon, tart, and a bit salty. The taste is similar to its smell, with light watermelon tartness, and salt. The mouthfeel is light and refreshing. Then it has a tart and salty finish with a faint watermelon flavor. The watermelon flavor fades into a tart flavor, salty-sweet fruity flavor aftertaste. The whole watermelon flavor is very light, as is the entire beer. This NoDa Brewing Company Watermelon Gose is terrible. It’s a B-. It slowly grows on you as you drink this, and I found it refreshingly easy to drink. Yes, this would be a good summer recommendation. But I think there are better examples of a Gose beer out there. But NoDa wasn’t going for the best traditional Gose here. They were making a tasty summer beer, and watermelon plus a Gose was their best idea. It did not disappoint. Please be kind, stay safe, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers! 

Partake Brewing Cherry Gose

Posted on by Evan

We’re back after a break of no reviews! Here is a different kind of beer that I don’t usually review here. This beer is Cherry Gose a non-alcoholic craft beer from Partake brewing. Partake Brewing is in Toronto, Canada. It is a non-alcoholic cat beer brewery. This Cherry Gose pours a pale yellow color with a one-and-half-finger fizzy white head. The head fades quickly into itself. The aroma is a big cherry aroma. But it’s a fake cherry candy scent and not much else there. The flavor is not like its own aroma. It’s light on cherry, and there is light coriander. This beer is thin and weak overall. I thought it was watery as well. It is easy to drink. The mouthfeel is light. Then it has a very light aftertaste and finishes of cherry that fades quickly, leaving a metallic taste in your mouth. The beers smells fine. But it was not a great beer. I give Partake Brewing Cherry Gose a D-. I didn’t get through the entire twelve ounces. I got only to nine and couldn’t finish the last three ounces. It tasted artificial and light. I don’t recommend this. Please be kind, stay safe, and remember to enjoy responsibly! Cheers!

Founders Brewing Barrel Aged Más Agave

Posted on by Evan

I was down in South Carolina where they have an ACTUAL liquor store and I saw Founders Brewing Barrel-Aged Más Agave, 10% ABV. I picked up a four-pack of the lime variant. Más Agave is an imperial lime Gose beer aged in Tequila barrels. This beer pours a deep rich orange with a two-finger fast dissolving white head. It gives off sweet & tart aromas of lime citrus fruit with a strong alcoholic note. Taste is a bit similar to the way its aroma hits. You’ll find a bit of a tart & sweet lime with a boozy tequila barrel and hints of citrus lime. This beer doesn’t taste like it’s 10% but not far off. The mouthfeel is on the higher side of a medium feel. Más Agave finishes with a boozy citrus lime tartness and has a tart alcoholic limey aftertaste. This is much like a margarita but in beer from and only the second time I’ve had a beer like this, the first being Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Trip into the Woods Otra Vez. Which I think is better than Founders Brewing Barrel-Aged Más Agave, which I B. It has a good tart fruity flavor but the barrel brings out the boozy alcohol that doesn’t make you want to have more that one and a half of these. But I do recommend trying Founders Brewing Barrel-Aged Más Agave. Please stay safe and enjoy responsibly! Cheers!
