Gose Style Beer
Most brewers spend a lot of time and effort keeping lactobacillus out of their breweries; it was the first thing we brought in (it still has to stay in the corner though). We blend together two different beers to make Troublesome. The first is a somewhat uninteresting wheat beer and the second is an overly acidic & funky beer fermented solely with lactobacillus. We blend the two beers together with coriander and salt at the tail end of fermentation to create a mild, lemony tartness and a fuller sensation of mouthfeel. And yes, it's hard to make.
Hops: Northern Brewer
Malts: Pils, Wheat Malt, Flaked Wheat, Flaked Oats
Secret Ingredients: Coriander and Lactobacillus

Draft at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2014, Session 1. Pours clear, pale yellow with a fluffy, white head. Lovely, very clean and refreshing. Some sweet dough, faint lemony tang. Light bodied with fine, airy carbonation. Sweet lemon meringue on the finish with understated acidity. Very drinkable.
