The idea for this mythological beer style started with imagining how brewers around the world would approach classic styles. Traditional Gose is a sour wheat beer flavored with salt and coriander.
Through a a Japanese culinary lens we substituted local white miso for the salt and pickled sushi ginger for the coriander. Mixed fermentation in stainless gives a bright but not aggressive acidity, the miso gives the characteristic sports drink salinity with a hint of umami. Topped off with delicate ginger flavor and you have one of the most refreshing and food friendly beers.

Deep honey half pour at the source.
Very obvious pickled ginger essence on the nose, which masks a lot of the rest.

Twang, orange essence, spicy ginger juice, slight savory essence at the tail that I guess is miso. Tiny grainy bit in the finish is whatever because it starts to turn sour.
Sharp, bright, herbal, small bit of heat, very spirited carb, wienie bit of oily texture, whatever abv.
This is great. What took so long for me to try this?

Bottle at Shelton Festival Afterparty. Pours a hazy yellow gold with medium white head leaving spotty lacing. The aroma is earth, sea salt, ginger. Thin body, brine, ginger, earth, mineral, salty finish, very good.
