Inspired by the salty German beer style of Gose, this is as murky as a saltmarsh creek, slightly brackish and gently soured using Lactobacillus from the malt itself. This will delight your palate and accompany seafood dishes very nicely.

Bottle. Probably from Hoptimism. Dirty gold. Fine ring of white. Nose has wheat. Some sour grain. Some saline notes. Some well rotted apple. Whiff of Poppyland smoke. Taste has a light, wheat sweetness. A bit salty. A little bit sour. Smooth mouthfeel. Light carbonation. Earthy, salty and lightly sour finish. It’s mad, but I enjoyed it.

330ml bottle from Hoptimism. Pours a hazy golden colour, white foam head leaving some lacing and salty aroma. Taste is sour, wheat, grainy, biscuit, charcoal, seaweed with salty samphire notes. Smooth mouthfeel, light to medium bodied, soft carbonation, dry salty finish. Quite OK.

Bottle from Cromer Farm & Health Shop. Have been wanting to try this brewery for ages, glad I finally got the chance. Murky orange-amber with no head and very little fizz. The unflattering description on the bottle fits this well; it's definitely brackish, with light salt and sourness, distinct seaweed notes (presumably the samphire), and an earthy background. While this may not sound appealing, it actually works surprisingly well, and is quite a more-ish brew. It also went damn well with fish and chips. Well done to Poppyland on making something so unique and interesting. It's with great sadness that I hear this brewery is to close and therefore this is regretfully probably going to be the only beer of theirs that I ever get to try.
