Our Tastes-- Samuel Adams Verloren®

Pours a great orange straw, with cloudiness if you pull the yeast bed. Never had gose before but Verloren appears to have a wheat or light pale malt backbone. Made with coriander and salt. Initially has a big pungent orange nose from the heavy coriander. Salt seems to balance the finish of the coriander. Got a great education from Andy Mc on salt and how it's perceived by most with the taste buds. The malt bill is pretty basic with two-row and malted and unmalted wheat slapped with some Saaz and kosher salt. 6%abv and 188cal/pint later and I'd drink it again. May have to in order to fully get a handle on what I'm experiencing.
