So I had the Anderson Valley Blood Orange Gose, and its good. Different to the Melon Gose, obviously. This one has more sour and citrus taste. If I could mixed a 6 of them It would be just the best summer drinking 6 pack. Its not as salty, and I guess thats the fruit bitter maybe knocking some of that out. Its good.Its very enjoyable.
Also had A few Cheeky Monkey Old Reliable Pale Ales. These were good but nothing magic, a solid for its style I guess. Not bad, just good.
