The Story? While at Rock Art, a couple my partner and I conversed with recommended checking out Farmhouse Tap & Grill - one of the best recommendations of the trip. We went on the beer recommendation alone, but were just as enthralled with the menu. I couldn't help indulge myself with their special squash-gnocchi-rabbit dish in a light tomato sauce, which was excellent.
The beer selection was as riveting as described and took a few moments to take in. I was a bit bummed several of their offerings were already kicked (a cask ale aged and brewed with all sorts of lovely things, Old Coast Rasputin on Nitro, and a few others), but a chance at another Gose and my first taste of yet another Vermont brewery, Lost Nation, quickly evened things out.
The Beer? This Gose began with a fairly transparent nose and just a hint of tartness and coriander. Hazy, straw color and a finger of head. I take the first sip and it's immediately apparent this is the most full flavored Gose I've run across yet.
Bright orange flavor with a dry, salty finish. The salt is quite prominent, while still being quenching. Full, malty body with fruity and slight sour notes. Delicate mouthfeel, somewhat akin to aperitif and champagne, but with a mild level of carbonation. There's a slight sweetness and quick tartness in the finish in addition to the lingering salt and coriander. Refreshingly complex.
