Our first kettle-soured beer, this Gose is firmly tart before the salt and a hint of frutiness make the beer a refreshing delight! The salt was reduced in house from 20 gallons of sea water brought in by one of our customers. The frutiness comes from chopped rhubarb steeped in the wort as it soured. Look out for more tart beers--we really like this one!

Perfectly clear with the faintest hint of haze with a super thin, single centimetre tall pure white head. Aroma of soured grapes, a touch of funky yeast and grain with light lemons and citrus and a faint dose of malts coupled with some guava and tropical fruits and a soft sweetness at the finish. Ultra-light-bodied; Strong tart fruit notes at first with a touch of lemons, citrus, passionfruit, guava and a dose of light briny salt flavours that finish off and make this a bit more flavourful, but the tart notes end the beer nicely with a mouth-watering flavour at the end. Aftertaste shows the funky grain, a touch of the sweetness comes through from fruit and caster sugar, but the finish (and the other flavours) is all about the tart fruit and the soft yeast/wheat with a light brine finish. Overall, a very nice gose with a ton of flavour, yet goes down very easily and shows nicely throughout - great to sample and well worth trying to find if you like the style! I sampled this twelve ounce, stubby bottle, purchased from Total Wine in McLean, Virginia on 16-March-2019 for US$2,29 sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 18-May-2019 in Pungoteague, Virginia.

Lemon, sour milk, wheat malt, and straw aroma. Golden yellow with small head. Mild sweet-tart lemon, malt, moderately sour lactic and citric acid, and mildly bitter straw flavor. Okay body. A solid, straight forward Berliner Weisse.

Draft at Spacebar. Poured a very lightly hazy yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was pleasant sea breeze. Light grain, coriander. Sea salt - really pleasant, easy to drink.
