My rating: 3
My beeradvocate.com rating: 3.75
My ratebeer.com rating: 3.5

Intro: A 440ml can, canned on 2nd March 2020, and a freshest flavour before date of 22nd May 2020. Poured into a Lost Abbey teku glass.
Appearance: A hazy darkish orange colour with a two finger white head that dissipated fairly quickly but left some nice lacing.
Aroma: Sweet mandarin, orange, with notes of mango, pineapple and grass.
Taste: Orange, biscuit, malty, with notes of tropical fruit, and a lightly bitter finish.
Mouthfeel: Light bodied with moderate spritzy carbonation.
Overall: Light and refreshing for a hot day. Maltiness is a bit strong and the fruit kind of gets lost in this.

Brewer Description: (from can) Double Peanut Butter Jelly Lassi Gose

My rating: 4
My beeradvocate.com rating: 4.18
My ratebeer.com rating: 4.1

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 21st November 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A deep dark purple colour with a one finger purple head that had excellent retention and left lots of nice lacing.
Aroma: Lightly sweet and tart, blackcurrant, grape jelly, jammy, with notes of peanut butter and peanuts.
Taste: Sweet, tart, buttery, grape jelly, blackcurrant, jammy, and peanut butter.

Overall: Enjoyable flavours as peanut butter and jelly does work. The base is sweet, but not too sweet as the tartness and peanut butter notes balance it out. But is this still a Gose?

Intro: A 500ml can, with a best before date of 7th November 2020. Poured into a 3 Fonteinen stemmed glass.
Appearance: A deep dark purple colour with a one and a half finger purple head that had good retention and left lots of nice lacing.

Taste: Sweet, lightly tart and sour, blackberry, maple, pancake, and vanilla.

Taste: Sweet and tart, lightly sour, mixed berries, maple, pancake, and vanilla.
