Spin Dive Summer Gose

Spending a coupla days cat- and hog-sitting for my frère and his roomie, I picked myself up a few cans of cold after the sad supply I was left, including a 473mL number of Spin Dive Summer Gose. A light beer at just 3.8% alcohol and 11 IBUs, Spin Dive comes from Lake of Bays Brewing Company in Baysville, Ontario.

Hazy and golden, with just a whisper of thin, off-white head. It has a briny waft that promises a blend of tart and spice. The flavour is salty and tangy, with a nice lime element, but it is unexpectedly mild, and this mildness is born out by a disappointingly thin body. 

Spin Dive is a refreshing little fella with a nice flavour foundation, but it lacks body and depth. Insufficiently sharp for a gose, though, and a bit underwhelming in the main. 

Rating: 6.5 out of 10.
