Thx! for sharing. Sampled draft @ Borefts 2015. Day 2. Hazy citrus, small white. Nose is hugely mineral, mineral sour, big lactic sourness. Taste is mineral, salty, a bit empty other than that, puckering,.. Body is light. A bit excessive on mineral salt but there isn’t much else to it other than that. Fun enough but not really impressive.

Gose from this Latvian craft brewery, sampled at Borefts. Almost no head, just some off-white, loose bubbles on the edge, colour a cloudy ’dirty’ yellow blonde with greenish hue. Aroma of sour cream, some Sauerkraut, unripe gooseberry, sour crabapple, white bread. Fruity taste with yoghurt-like lactic tartness, salty edge lending it a Gose-ish Sauerkraut effect but gently so - the lactic sourness is stronger than the saltiness (fortunately). Wheaty, soapy, bready middle phase, lean mouthfeel, dryingly tart finish. Juicy and appetizing, an interesting beer from a country which has only just begun to develop a craft beer culture.

26/IX/15 - on tap @ Borefts 2015 (Bodegraven) - BB: n/a (2015-1371) Thanks to 77ships, Elmanana+1 and the Israeli beer tickers scene for sharing today's beers!

Cloudy pale yellow beer, creamy white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: very funky, yeast, spicy, coriander, bit sour, lemony. MF: soft carbon, medium body. Taste: yuck, this tastes like effervescent vitamin tablets, salty, sugary, yuck. I can't drink this...
