Don Gato is a dry hopped Gose. We brewed this sour ale with a touch of French grey sea salt and hand crushed coriander seeds. Once fermentation was complete, we added a light dry hop of Citra and Motueka. Flavors of lime juice and fresh mango with a slightly salty finish.

4 pack from the brewery, drunk over the course of a month and a half, last one on 8/26/25. Canned 4/2825.
Definitely can still smell the dry hop, loud and clear even after 4 months in the can. Moderate lactic acidity, not punchy, with strong pineapple-like notes. Light celery salt, wheat, earth, mineral.
Does feel like this has lactose in it, as it's not wholly agreeable and has a slick, slightly sweet, earthy, mousey, dirty character. 't would be sad if so. But it would be really weird to use lactose here in a kettle soured beer that already contains lactic acid. Maybe just a bit punchy from the lactic acid-hop combo.

Pours opaque amber with a thin white head. Aroma of flat malt. Taste has spice notes, some lactose and fruity notes, mango. Palate has more lactose, some salt, lingering salty malt and fruity notes. Good.
