Bottle. Color: Hazy pale golden, white head. Aroma: Fruity, funk, leather. Taste: Fruity notes of stonefruit and grapeskin, citrus hints, a pinch of salt, notes of wild yeast barnyard funk and subtle notes of leather. Moderate to above moderate tart, lightly salty, sweet and bitter. Medium body, just below average carbonation. Another nice one from Ca'del Brado.

The Gose in this ‘Bolognese’ craft brewery’s sour series, thanks SterV for sharing. Snow white, open, mousy ring of a head, clear and warm, very pure ‘old gold’ robe. Unusual but admittedly alluring aroma of salty gherkins and Sauerkraut, but also green apple, pear, white bread, kefir, sourdough and a bizarre perfumey quality (sweet peppermint or basil). Sour onset but not harshly so, rather a soft lactic tartness throughout, piccalilly and cucumber sourness, green apple too, softish carb, slick wheaty body; saltiness is present at the edges, but remains rather subdued. That weird perfumey sweetishness, almost flowery and jasmin-like in the end, returns retronasally and creates a deceptively sweet finish aromatically speaking, but the sourness continues to dry the back. Very aromatic interpretation of a Gose, somewhat restrained in saltiness, which I think is a good thing in this often misinterpreted style – this degree of saltiness is probably closer to the original Goses than most postmodern ‘craft’ interpretations from the U.S., Scandinavia and so on are like.
