It's good. Some people go crazy over wanting it in trades. For a gose-ish style(which its referred to as by many), I think it's lacking. No saltiness and not too much lacto-bite. Really good summer beer though, very refreshing.

I received this in a trade, and I find it to be delicious. Refreshing after mowing the yard

I didn't think is was too great, but I have easy access Westbrook gose so that is what I use for comparing other gose to.

I agree, compared to Westbrook, I would take Westbrook any day. Although, I have not found any other gose's that live up to them.

Right now I have 4 that I'm going to do a tasting with within the next couple weeks and make some comparison notes. Westbrook, Anderson Valley, Troublesome, and Cascade's Gose. I have high hopes for Cascade's because I love everything else that they do, but my mind might be completely brainwashed because of Westbrook.

I'm right there with you, I think I've tried six now and the Westbrook is such a different (better) beer that it almost makes me think that its out of style.

Have you had the Anderson Valley Gose?

 

[Brewbien]

Have you had the Anderson Valley Gose?

Yeah, Jeremy sent me one. (Thanks again buddy!) Its a good beer, I just think it's outclassed by the Westbrook.

I have had Westbrook once and cannot compare easily but Anderson is great to me. I'll probably be getting Westbrook on the 7th.

 

[absoluthamm]

I am really starting to think it's the salt. Westbrook has so much more of a salty aspect to it compared to any of the other ones.

Jabien, I'm assuming you've had the Cascade Gose, how did that one compare? I feel like I saw you post about it somewhere, but I can't remember and I'm too lazy to search right now, lol

 

[skeezerpleezer]

Westbrook has a much more pronounced and cleaner lactic taste. I emailed them about their salt/coriander quantities and how they sour (lactobacillus, acid malt, sour mash, or lactic acid) bit they didn't give any info. Just recommended reading "brewing with wheat".

They sent me the same thing. So I bought it. Didn't really have any info that I couldn't find on here or with a google search though. I guess its nice to have it all compiled in one place though.

In general, I'm not a fan of Cascade anyway. There is a smell they all of their beers share that kind of ruins the beers for me. All of my buddies liked it though. Still not on the same level as the Westbrook though. They smell like the plastic bubbles toy from my childhood.

now that takes me back to flavor country memories right there....mmmm good stuff! Better than glue and playdough!

 

[absoluthamm]

My grandma always got those things for our Easter baskets. I haven't seen them in forever, lol.

I've only had a handful of Cascade's beers, but I didn't get any of that, but everyone has different palates

I love that people taste things differently, and that is not a joke, I really enjoy it. I personally think Westbrook is obviously the best, but I think they have more than just a lactic tartness going on. It seems much more complex than a standard berliner/gose lactic tart, especially in the aroma.

Glad it arrived safely.

I heard the jester king is better fresh(maybe one of the Texans could chime in and confirm this)

Also the tired hands stuff is good to go now too. That westy13 has been in my closet for quite a while.

The Blakkr is a little old. Canned 3/11/14, but I wanted to you the real ale version since you sent me the three Floyds a little while back.

 

[DisturbdChemist]

I probably suggest drive know yet nocturne soon it's not really sour and if you want lots of fruit drink soon. Surprise to see so many Texas beers from a non Texas lol.
