Double Down Gose IPA by Fort Collins Brewery

This is a fusion of two styles: India Pale Ale (yes, yes, everything is an IPA these days) and a Gose. The Gose style (pronounced Gō-sah) originated in Goslar Germany, but was also popular in Leipzig. It's made with 50% wheat, and has salt and coriander added. It's moderately sour.
Double Down is light and refreshing, pouring a golden hue with a thin white head. You can definitely taste the salt and coriander, with lemon peel notes. I'm not sure why it's an IPA, I'm not detecting much hoppiness. I just read that Fort Collins Brewery sold out & will be closing its doors, so you'll likely not see this beer around for much longer.
