That's a really nice color @BrewinHooligan

Stopped in Granite City Brews for the first time. After trying a sip of three different beers, I told them to fill me a 32oz of this IPA from Triple C in Charlotte. It was better when I got it home and poured a glass. The picture doesn't do it justice. I've never had the look of a beer catch me. This one was very pretty. (sounds wierd)



While the lady was filling this, I ask the gentleman about one on the chalkboard. It was a Gose. I've never heard of that till now. He tells me it taste like salt and SweetTarts, as he gets me a sample. Sounds terrible, but man was it good. If I had tasted it sooner, it is what I would have brought home.

Pretty beer doesn't sound weird, but I am a certified beer fanatic. Gose is a very under appreciated style in my opinion and not many breweries make them because it isn't an easy style to do well. If you ever come across Westrbrooks Gose, buy as much as you can.

How is it this year

Pretty good, i always find that it needs about 6 months to really shine. Seemed to be just a tad too much toasty bitterness which overwhelmed the other flavors. But that's nitpicking...still one of the best beers on the planet.

Swung by the same place this evening. I was going to get a prowler of that Gose (Anderson Valley Briney Melon), but it's no longer on tap. Picked up a six of the Westbrook, off the shelf, and put in the fridge to cool. At around twelve bucks for a six of cans, it won't be an every day go to, but looking forward to cracking one open tomorrow.
