Triumph Gose

Brewed by Triumph Brewing Company
Style: Traditional Ale
Princeton, New Jersey USA

On tap at Princeton. Very hazy (almost opaque) blonde in color with a medium large white head. Very nice aroma: banana, wheat, coriander, light salt, and a touch of honey. Taste: banana, with bread and yeast, salt, tangy wheat, and light notes of citrus and coriander. Medium bodied, all aspects of this seem well integrated and bright. This is my first Gose, and I thought it was awesome.

RateBeer Rating, Style and Glass: not enough ratings (I’m #8) traditional ale, mug, pint, stein, yard ABV, Volume & Calories: 5.1 % in 16 fl oz. estimated at 175 C Purchased at: on tap at Triumph in Princeton for $5 with good friend Sean Piotrowski after his last day at Rider. Aroma: fruity, banana, alluring. 9 out of 10. Visuals: cloudy, dense, yellow, white persistent head, nice lacing. 5 out of 5. Taste: sweet, banana, citrus, orange. 9 out of 10. Palate: salty, granular, strong finish. 4 out of 5. Overall: It was essentially a hefeweizen, but a very nice, slightly stylized rendition. Second only to their IPA, IMO. A very well crafted ale. 18 out of 20.

Thanks a ton to dickinsonbeer on thinking of me on this gem! Pours opaque amber with a nice white head. Smells of mineral water, bananas, coriander, some sweet malt, touches of yeast. Tastes lactic and sweet citrissy with some tarte hints, some doughy touches, and a hint of sourness on the finish. Very enjoyable!

Growler, shared by willblake, not dickinosbeer. I’m pretty sure. Thanks Jon. This was really tasty. Very fresh tasting with notes of floral and citrus, a little salt, and some nice wheat. One of my favorites (and it seems others agree) of the weekend.

Growler, sampled at the 1st Annual Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, courtesy of Dickinsonbeer, and thanks to kmweaver for entering it first so I could cut the first part from his rating! Pours very cloudy, yellow, with a small white head. Aroma is yeasty banana, with a hint of citrus. Flavor is spicy, coriander, clove, fruit, salt. Very tasty beer.

Cloudy yellow wheat colored body with a white head. Spicy coriander, muddled wheat and rye and some salty crackers in the nose. Smooth but moderately thick texture, the wheat is chewy, chunky and muddy, and the salty cracker quality is surprising. Very smooth with a medium to full body, bright, smooth, wheat-heavy, dry, chewy, and overall just very delicious.

Growler, sampled at the 1st Annual Shenandoah Beer Throwdown, courtesy of willblake. Thanks, Jon! Pours a hazy, whitish-copper color; creamy white head with glistening, fine-bubbled lacing; nice pour. Very pleasant, crisp nose; wheatiness, light citrus, salt; salty, dry husks; really nice nose; plenty of floral / vegetal notes mixed in. Medium-to-full mouthfeel: lots of wheat, citrus (light, low acidity), and toasty grains; light saltiness; incredibly drinkable, dry, crisp, and pleasantly integrated; great rendition. Medium finish: toasted grains, wheaty husks, citrus, and bread; nicely dry end. Really excellent stuff.

Growler shared by Paul. Tastes a lot like the weizen from Triumph with hints of sulphur and banana. A bit sweter than I’d like after riding the freakin sardine can they call the PATH train. A bit of caramel adds even more light sweetness along with a hint of lemon. Tasty for a pint.
