Lemon Raspberry Wizard of Gose

 When eating gelato, my firm belief is that the top flavour combo is lemon and raspberry. It’s tart, fruity, refreshing, and perfect. So, when I saw that Bandit Brewery had a version of Wizard of Gose with lemon and raspberry, I was pretty jazzed. The 4.2% sour beer from Toronto comes in 355mL cans that feature a formal raccoon with red/yellow heterochromia.

This edition of WofG has a rose gold colour. It’s a hazy brew that pours with a sprinkling of white head. The beer has a briny aroma with a nice lemony note. The flavour is tart, with lots of lemon and a little tickle of raspberry.


If I’m being honest, I’d have liked this beer to have a bit more emphasis on raspberry, but that said, the flavour is nice and it definitely doesn’t taste artificial. Not a bad little gose.

Rating: 7.5 out of 10.
