We teamed up with our friends at Futtle (based in East Neuk, Fife) and Scratch Brewing (based in Illinois, US) for this foraged Gose. We blended a golden sour base beer from our blending stock and aged this on whole locally grown red gooseberries (goosegogs). We used a carbonic maceration process to help break down the fruit and gain additional complexity from these berries.

To this blend we added foraged seaweed from the shores of East Neuk and spicebush berries from the woods around Scratch brewing. The resultant beer is sweet, salty, with heaps of gooseberry, spice and a whiff of sea-breeze.

Bottle via the online shop. Hazed deep orange. Slim dense semi lacing white foam. Nose has wheat. Some woody notes akin to grape stalk. Something hard to get but it’s like a struck match but not. Maybe it’s the spicebush berries. No idea what they are tbh. Some salinity underneath. Taste is tart and dry. Fairly acidic overall although it’s not tooth stripping. Tart dry fruity finish. Well, it’s definitely different. Not sure I’d give it a go again but then again it’s not made to be a session bev.

On tap at The Green Goddess, Blackheath Royal Standard. Gooseberry jam, lemongrass & white grape aromas. Tart eye wincing taste of the above. Dry, fruity & sour. Quite flavoursome but plays havoc on me acid reflux!
