From tap at The Scrapyard, Alkmaar. Wow, literally smells like 'pizzastengels'. Tastes like it too. Lots of basil and oregano, tomato. Herbal. Notes of lemon. Tart and salty with a mild sourness. Fun!

500mml. can. @"home", 22/11/2020
[#3.643 Global - #97 Russia - #11 Selfmade Brewery]
Light reddish to amber colour with a medium off-white head. Poor retention. Aroma is basil, oregano and tomato juice. Taste is the same, leading to a Slightly salty finish. Strange, but the pizza reminds are there so mission acomplished. 500mml. is too much though.
Next one please!

Sample @ 1st edition Brewver Belgian gathering, Mar 07, 2020. Thanks Tderoeck. BB 19/11/2020.
Dorée, col blanc.
Arôme offre de suite un nez intéressant d'épices - basilic, thym avec petite touche de thé en retrait. Malt devient anecdotique.
Palais est fin malté, petite note aigrelette, épaisseur de bouche avec un retour d'épices et herbes en retrait ; on traine bien sur un effet de pizza.
Note citrique fine de gose perdure en fin de bouche.

Bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde, Sint-NIklaas (Best before: 19/11/2019). Pours hazy orange with a quickly thinning, off-white head. Aroma of orange, lime, herbal mix, pepper, basil, (pizza?) dough, salt, wheat, bell pepper & tomato. Taste has sweet orange at first, quickly overthrown by a sour & salty core, offering wheat, lime & tomato, supported by thick doughy maltiness with a backbone of herbs & bell pepper-like spiciness. Lingering vegetables & salt into the tart finish, very subtle hops, more herbal than actually aromatically hoppy. Medium body, oily texture, fizzy carbonation. Quite hilarious but excellent attempt at putting pizza in beer, very good Gose overall too.

Gose has undergone a many considerable makeovers since it was rediscovered by the craft beer movement, and I guess it takes one of these bold and experimental new Moscow craft brewers to use it as the starting point of a beer with the sole intention of resembling pizza... Last bottle available at Gedeelde Vreugde, shared by tderoeck. Off-white, thin, mousy, open head, hazy peach blonde robe with amberish-orangey hue. Incredibly 'un-beery' and highly expressive aroma of tomato juice and tomato concentrate, gazpacho, oregano, pickled green chili peppers, tomato soup, garlic, fried bell peppers. Crisp onset, blending in raw cucumber, ripe tomato and red bell pepper with a quite pronounced salty edge, only accentuating its pizza flavour ambitions; light fried ham-like umami plus underlying, yet soft sourishness through a doughy and lightly bready malt body (the 'crust' and bottom of the pizza, if you will) completely drenched in tomato concentrate, garlic, oregano and pickled chili pepper effects, the latter even a tad 'piquant' in the end, where the saltiness and spiciness overrule a more basic sweetish touch, rounding off the whole experience - an experience indeed reminiscent of some or other pizza variant. This is not the first 'pizza beer' ever made by far, but it must be the most convincing one ever made. Gimmicky and bizarre as hell, but artistically seen, it cannot be denied that it gloriously achieves exactly what it set out to do - one can wonder about the purpose of such an experiment, but for me (as a tomato and Italian cuisine lover) the experiment is completely successful. That said, this is one of those beers that cannot but sharply divide opinions, and indeed some of the other tasters at the tasting table in Bruges deemed this one 'undrinkable'. I loved it, but that is a matter of pure personal appreciation, obviously; love this one or hate it, but there is no ignoring it. Unbelievable what these Russian weirdos pulled off here...

28/II/20 - 50cl bottle from Gedeelde Vreugde (St. Niklaas), shared @ bottle share after the Blind Geuze Tasting, Struise Shop (Brugge), BB: n/a, prod: 19/XI/19 (2020-193) Thanks to Alengrin for the trade!

Clear orange blond beer, small creamy dense white to off-white head, unstable, non adhesive. Aroma: that’s pizza all the way! Lots of dried tomato powder, oregano, thyme, not much else, very funky and strange, weird but interesting! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: salty start, sourish notes, lots of tomato sauce, bit sweet, spices, more tomato, thyme and oregano. Aftertaste: more of them pizza flavoured crackers, salty, soft acidity from the tomatoes, funky, weird. Not very good, but it delivers!
