4.0 Brewed with sea salt. Lends an odd taste, but not a bad one. If not for that, I'd rate it a five: sour cherry just works.

3.1 Mild cherry flavor. Slight cherry sour aroma. Very nice flavor. I really like it

2.9 Pink-tinted gold, under grayish froth that fades. Fake sour-candy smell, sweet-tarts, and a bit musty, touch of butyric (vomit). Tangy flavor, sweetish but tart, cherry candy taste, mild saline. Would be refreshing if not slightly off-putting.

2.5 Bottle 12fl.oz. @ The Shnoodlepip, London. [ As Victory Kirsch Gose ]. Clear medium red - orange (pink) colour with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white - pink head. Aroma is moderate malty, pale malt, sour, tart, moderate yeasty, soapy, artificial cherries. Flavor is moderate sweet and light acidic with a average duration, tart, cherry, artificial, coconut, soapy. Body is medium, texture is oily to watery, carbonation is soft. [20160809] 5-3-5-3-9

4.1 Canned from Village Beer Merchant. Hazy pinkish. Cherry, citric, sour notes. Some saltyness, fairly dry. Fruity and well drinkable. Dry finish.

4.0 0,33 flaske fra Gulating Stavanger, delt med skibsrederen etter endt tapping av vår Admiral ipa: lett uklar gyldenrød med flott skum som varer. Kirsebær, søte appelsiner, kokos, marsipan og lime i aroma og smak. Superlekker og alt for lettdrikkelig. Fruktig syrlighet i ettersmaken. Nam!

4.3 Bottle shared with JMD at HNB 10.03.18. Golden, with a hue of pink. Excellent aroma of sour cherries, marzipan and coconut. Even better taste of sour cherries, marzipan, almonds and coconut. Medium dry and slightly acid mouthfeel. Very quaffable.

4.0 Bottle from Bitter Virtue. Nice interesting interpretation of the style with a burst of sour cherries 🍒

3.5 Nice mix of dark cherry, tart and tangy, there is a little salt, but not much. The wheat base is a great cradle for the fresh cherry.

3.5 0.355 l bottle from 'Craftbeer-Shop.com', best before March 2018. Clear, reddish amber with a medium large, foamy, almost stable, white head. Sweetish, a bit sourish, fruity, minerally and a bit spicy aroma of cherry, hay, some lemon and a touch of coriander. Moderately sweet, slightly sour, quite fruity, moderately minerally and slightly spicy taste of lots of cherries, soft lemon, raspberries and some coriander, followed by a medium long, quite tart, minerally-dry finish. Thin to medium body, smooth, slightly astringent and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft to average carbonation. Very refreshing and well-balanced fruited Gose, drinks super easily despite the cold outside.

4.1 Vom Fass im Stone Brewing Berlin 2018-02 getrunken. Die Gose besitzt eine leichte Säure mit einer sehr stimmigen Kirschnote und kommt sehr süffig daher. [8-4-8-3-9 = 3,2] Aus der Flasche im 2018-04 getrunken. Die Balance der Aromen ist hier für diesen Bierstil einfach wunderbar getroffen. Die Kirscharomen sind sehr gut ausgearbeitet. Die Fruchtsäure bleibt hier auch sehr angenehm im Hintergrund. Als Fazit gefällt mir die Flaschen-Version deutlich besser. Ein tolles Teil! [9-4-9-3-16 = 4,1]

4.0 2/22/18 With Abby just hanging out. Got out early from Thoracic surg today since here were no cases. She tried it and didn’t approve - said it tasted “vinegary & like bleach.” Poured from bottle. Beautiful deep red with a light fluffy head. Label is simple but I dig it. Not too much on the nose. Cherries and maybe some wheat. Taste is wonderful sour cherry. Tart, sweet and salty. Like a Sonic cherry limeade in beer form. Love it! Lots of prickly carbonation on the palate. Sourness lingers. Really nice and super drinkable. Overall, this is my first Gose beer but wow! This is delicious! Light and packed with sour cherry flavor. I️ want more!

4.0 Bottle 12 fl.oz. (35.5cl.), @home poured into a teku glass. Opaque medium amber, good fluffy off-white head, collapsing slowly, heavy lacing; aroma pale malts, cherries, red berries, bubblegum, bit tart (less than expected); taste mild sweet and sourish, tart, fruity (cherries, lemon), salty notes; tarty mild sweet and sour aftertaste, quite fruity; light to medium body, oily to sticky texture, soft carbonation; refreshing, no artificial feel, very good combination of fruit beer and gose.

3.2 355ml bottle. Cloudy, reddish amber colour with average, thick, fluffy, moderately lasting, minimally lacing, white head. Fruity and salty aroma, hints of morello, a touch of sauerkraut and salted lemon. Taste is tart, salty, fruity, subtle sweetness, minimally artificial notes of cherry, morello, hints of salt, salted lemon. Well matching fruit addendum in principle, but played out with artificial, sherbet-like character in this case.

4.1 Aroma; berries, sour fruit, acid, bread, nut tart, buttery malts. Look; off white head on near clear red-amber body. Taste; juicy hops, oily malts, acidic orange, spruce tart, buttery malt, tart, nut note, vanillish cherry lemonade, almondy plummy grainy soda. Feel; good body, no holes, soft to premium carbonation, smooth-oily. Overall; good brew, tastebomb. [33cl from a btl into a tulip at Agenturet]

3.5 Bottle, 4.7%. Hazy light pink colour. Big stable creamy pale pink colour. The flavour starts off with a perfumy cherry note, turning quite citric after a bit. Some lactic acid, but nowhere near as dry as Berliner Weisse. Finishes citric as well with a good cherry note, not very sweet, but faintly soapy.

3.6 Tap at Takanoya. Victory Gose a pinkish amber color with a medium body and a dry finish. The tqaste gives you toejam and spice. Fruity solid.

3.8 Aroma and flavor is salt/minerals, wheat and a long fruit/tart/slightly dry finish.

3.1 Bottle. Cloudy colden, offwhite low head. Dry Kirschwasser/cherry-schnaps aroma. Sparkly medium dry body. Cherrywood, salt, cherry notes, moderate to low tartness, iodine finish.

4.4 Bottle in Cap and Collar in Saltaire. Pours cloudy brown and red with a small cream head. Nose is cherry salty medicinal slightly bleachy (but in a good way!). Taste is creamy and tart and salty with lots of red fruit. Really good.

3.4 Bottle at Nicky's bottle shop. Crimson color, white head. Sour taste with citrus, cherry, a bit of salt, wheat and tart. Sour finish with citrus, cherry, a bit of salt, grass and tart. Very nice gose.

4.0 At City Tap in DC. Awesome tangy cherries, mild sour apple zip, with good balance of salt. Nice!

3.6 Leicht trübes rosarot mit durchschnittlicher Schaumkrone. Fruchtig, Sauerkirschen, Salz, Kräuter, säuerlich, spritzig, sehr erfrischend.

3.4 Bottle at GBBF'16, day one, 09/08/16 thanks to James. Hazed pinkish cherry red with a well appointed crimson cap. Nose is cherry skins, straw, light lemon drizzle, grains. Taste comprises grains, damp straw, cherry stones, tarte berry esters. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Decent enough offering.

4.3 [2017-07-19, Leskinen, Oulu] Oranssinpunainen, kirkas, tiheä vaalea vaahto. Tuoksussa kirsikkaa ja paljon happamuutta. Maku erittäin hapan ja kirsikkainen. Suutuntuma voimakkaan hiilihappoinen, runko keskitäyteläinen. Loistava tasapainoisuus.

2.9 Tap (RBESG2017 Lindaliners advance party, Kitty's, Helsinki) (6:3:6:3:11=2.9) Harsh sour aroma. Watery palate, acidic bite, crisp carbonation. Rich cherry, skins and stones. Refreshing, but a bit sweet. I do like it more with each sniff and sip, and it ends up pretty OK, carried by the cherry compot.

3.7 Piwo lekko metne w kolorze rozowo pomaranczowym z niezbyt obfita biala sredniopecherzykowa piana. Bardzo przyjemne lekko kwasne i slone z nutami pszenicy i wisnii. Lekkie i mega pijalne bardzo mi smakowalo.

3.4 (Fläche) Es hat eine dunkle orangene Farbe mit einem leichten Rubineinstich, ist filtriert mit einer weißen Schaumkrone. Das Aroma ist fruchtig, sauer, mit Kirsche und etwas dumpf, wie Saurons Kerker. Der Geschmack ist säuerlich, mit Kirsche, süß, erfrischend, etwas wie der Lolly bei meiner Oma.

3.6 Bottle. Unclear pinkish color with creamy white head. Aroma is wheat, salty, sweetish cherry juice, yoghurt. Taste is cherry yoghurt, wheat, fresh yeasts, with the right amount of salt. Silky mouthfeel, medium carbonation. Totally refreshing, despite the slight artificial character to the cherries, it works! (but I have to admit cherry is one of my favourite yoghurt flavourings)

2.9 (bottle) opalescent pinkish-amber colour with a frothy light-pink head. aroma of lemon juice and pale malts, with lots of fresh raspberries, some light chlorine and barnyard. flavour is mostly vanilla and cherry juice, rather oxidized, with a hint of orc blood, spawn of sauron and a semi-tart floral-hoppy finish. medium-bodied with average carbonation.
