This dark purple gose is tart and dry, with citrus aromas from hops and coriander, and a fruity/spicy/earthy quality from a healthy dose of black currant juice. It's a 40% wheat mash, Lactobacillus kettle sour, with freshly crushed organic coriander, black currant juice, and Himalayan pink salt (and a smidgen of hops). The result is practically sublime -- beautiful, unique, and refreshing!

Draught at Bukowski's, Inman Square, 6/14/18.
Deep, dark purple, opaque/cloudy. Pink-violet head shows moderately-strong retention.
Currant and salt are juxtaposed nicely with light wheat-like creaminess behind it. Clean with great, expressive fruit notes that are authentic and well-integrated. Vibrant, tart and salty with even a touch of smoke.
Salty, dry, soft, tart/piquant in the flavor. Pretty much everything you want from a gose. It's highly flavorful and fruity, yet tart and piquant ending on a quenching saltiness. Well-malted and very juicy, to-boot. Wow, if this is indicative of the general quality of beer from Flying Dreams, then I've really been missin' out. Great textures here, with well-integrated, large amounts of fruit. Extremely clean and snappy with no preponderance of lactic acid.
