Urban South’s Lime Cucumber Gose has a murky honey hue with a frothy white head. The beer pops with aromas of fresh cucumber and lime. Some Gose beers can be pungent, but this has the perfect balance between salted cucumber and fresh lime. It resembles a cucumber lemonade and is a delicious beer!

Libertine’s Pacific Ocean Blue Gose has a very light honey hue with no head and a sour vinegar aroma. The beer is soft with flavors of vinegar. It is light, but lacks flavor. If I was to sum this one up, I would say it has light tropical fruit flavors followed by a vinegary brine.

Odell Sippin’ Pretty Fruited Sour has a muddled ruby red grapefruit hue, small off color head that dissipates quickly with sweet citrus, marshmallow and Graham cracker aromas. The beer is soft, with a slight nectar, apricot and a watery aftertaste. It’s an easy to drink beer with a slight fruit flavor.

Ballast Point’s Citrus Cove Gose has a super light golden hue with a small subtle head that resembles a Miller Lite. The beer has aromas and flavors of citrus; it kind of tastes like a Bud Lime. It’s not a bad beer, as it is a little more complex than other citrusy beers as it has a light malt hops element to it.

About the Brewery
In 1995, Sam Calagione founded Dogfish Head Brewery, opening Dogfish Head Brewing & Eats in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. When they first opened they were the smallest microbrewery in the United Sates, starting with 3 small kegs with propane burners beneath them. They would brew 12-gallon batches, 3-times a day which would serve their entire restaurant. This enabled the brewery to try multiple recipes.

In 2002, Dogfish Head began to hand-distill gin, rum and vodka on top of their beer production. 16-years later the Dogfish Head Brewery would become one of America’s largest breweries, brewing 15,000 gallons per day. This caught the eye of Jim Koch and in 2019 Dogfish Head merged with the Boston Beer Company. The company currently has three restaurants (with a Miami location opening soon), a distillery, a brewery and an Inn.

Dogfish Head SuperEight Super Gose looks like Hawaiian punch… it even has a red head. I smell a little hops on the nose and the beer is very smooth with a juice punch to the trachea. It doesn’t have a ton of flavor, but I do taste fruit. This beer is not overly fruity or sweet, but it’s like an action packed juice box that kicks you in the balls.

Sam Adams Kosmic Sour has an odd complexion (light caramel, almost purplish hue.) The beer has a small compact head with a fruity aroma. It is soft on the tongue with a bit of a vinegary ending. It reminds me of a Kombucha. Overall, it’s a pretty good sour.

Victory’s Sour Monkey Sour Brett Tripel has a light golden hue with a creamy head. The beer emits aromas of sweet malt. It’s a soft beer that is both sour and juicy. I like, it’s a good beer but very high in alcohol content and you can taste some of the alcohol for sure.

Modern Times Fruitland has a slight murky hue with very small head. The beer does have a fruit aroma with the passionfruit and guava coming to the forefront. The beer is a sour, so it does have that vinegary flair to it- almost like a soft Kombucha taste. The beer isn’t too limey like some Goses can get, and overall it’s good. It would make a refreshing beer for a hot summer day!
