A 50/50 blend of barrel aged and fresh imperial goses, brewed with sloe berries and lemon thyme.
Taste: Starts out soft and pillowy, before giving way to vibrant acidity, bursting with notes of wild strawberries, sloe berries and a hint of cranberry. The jammy fruit character is complimented the by herbaceous and citrusy notes of lemon thyme. Refined character and tannins of French oak lead to a dry finish of an otherwise full-bodied beer.
Appearance: Bright red with a firm pink head.
Nose: Layers of red summer berries and lemon zest fill the nose, underlying the bouquet of a flourishing herb garden.
Malts: Pilsner zero, wheat malt, torrified wheat, cookie malt
Hops: Sloe berries, Hüll melon, Hallertau blanc, lemon thyme, lemon zest, coriander seeds, pink Himalayan salt

Panda at home, thanks to Kenneth, 18/03/2025.
Moderate haze on a deep amber pour topped with a light beige cap that settles well.
Nose is vinous, tarte fruit rinds, damp oak, faint acidic nostril tickle.
Taste comprises tart red berries, herb, vinous, light acidic bimble, berry pips, damp straw, hedgerow, apple chews.
Medium bodied, fine carbonation, drying close spiked with a light acidic tang.
Fine but wouldn't want a whole lot of this.

Can. Near clear deep amber beer, good bubbly pale tan head. Smooth palate, mildly dry, decent fine carbonation. Fairly soft malt base, some sweetness imparted but soon overwhelmed by the intrinsic tartness or this brew. Lots of fairly tart and slightly herbal lemon. The softer sloe berries are very much on the back end, clear but an encore element. Airy finish brings a mild salinity. Good fun. More Sloe would have made for a more complex beer for me.

Can. Pours a darkish red with no head. Aroma is fruity with lots of wood and booze. Medium to full body. Flavour is sweet and sour, but a rather restrained acidity. Nice sweetness. Forest berries and herbal notes, bit also lots of wood - the barrel aged beer comes through prominently. Not what I was expecting from a gose but tasty!

Can (from Alko web). Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is fruity, lingonberries and mild wooden tones. Flavour is lingonberries, mild tartness and some salty tones. Smooth. And well. Find the Gose and earn the points, as a tip for the brewer to get more points in the game.
