Old Pro if you want that classic salty-tart punch,
SeaQuench Ale if you want something smoother and more sessionable.
Old Pro leans harder into the gose tradition—you get that mineral saltiness up front. SeaQuench is the friendlier sour, built to drink multiple rounds without the salt edge wearing on you. Both nail the low IBU thing, so neither is bitter; it's really about whether you want assertive or approachable.

Old Pro
Old Pro hits you with salt and lime immediately—it's not subtle, and honestly that's the appeal. The gose backbone is solid, giving you a wheat beer structure before the salinity and citric acid take over. It's thirst-quenching in a way that feels almost oceanic, like you're drinking seasoned mineral water. Not a beer to nurse; it demands attention and rewards speed.
SeaQuench Ale
SeaQuench is the sour that doesn't announce itself as a sour. The sourness is there—lemony, slightly tart—but it rides underneath a clean, almost pilsner-like body. At 4.9% it carries just enough presence to feel substantial without dragging. It's designed for hot days and multiple glasses, and it delivers on that promise without any rough edges.
