Mikeller Passion Pool Gose with Passion Fruit

Surely I don't need to rehash for you IGB fans what a Gose is, but it's a sour style that originated in Goslar, Germany. It doesn't conform to the  Reinheitsgebot, the German beer purity laws since coriander and sea salt are added. I don't think I'm exaggerating when I say that the Gose style has become my favorite. Passion Pool pours a pale hazy golden hue, with a barely visible white head. It's pretty tart, maybe an 8 on the IGB Sour Scale. The passion fruit is upfront, with some lemon as well. There's a bit of green apple in there as a special guest. Recommended as a summer ale, would go great with spicy tacos or BBQ pork.
