A Gurken Gose is the worst beer I’ve rated in 10+ years, so I’m having some trepidation about starting this one. To be fair to the beer, sour pickles in general are not my thing.
Gold with foamy, white head. Aroma promises pickles, coconut and lime, exactly as advertised, with the pickle aspects mercifully subdued. Taste is sour with the coconut sweetness leading the way. The sour pickle and lime take over the finish. One sip. Two. Pour some more. The pickle is just subdued enough for me to get by with this one, even if I would would prefer less (no) pickle. Love the balance though. Refreshing too. It’s actually a pretty decent beer. Good job, Orca.

Brown with a frothy head of modest duration. Caramel aroma with a hint of stone fruit. Sweet up front, herbal bitter at the back with a lingering mix of grass and spice. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, dry. A touch boozy at the back. Good one.

Bottle picked up from Beyond Beer webshop Hamburg and consumed sat in Frank at Studenstadt, München 26th June 2026 after a lovely day out in München, we met up with Jonas, Ursula, Heidi and Shaun and had a lovely evening at various Biergartens. Pours dark brown/possibly black with a head that barely lasted two seconds. This is one of those beers where you have to decide did you want this to be subtle, clearly displaying peanut butter characteristics but not in yer face, or.....or....were you expecting a full on Impy' with lashings of chocolate, peanut butter etc..well it's only 7% so it's definitely more relaxed, the chocolate and roastiness is there as is the peanut but it's well done, subtle as yer like. I like this but it might not be for some. Score:7.5

Gurkiger Beginn, geringe Säure, Kokos kann ich nicht erkennen. Wenig kräutrig, minimal herb. Weicher Hintergrund, weiter Gurke, erfrischend, die leicht erhöhte Karbonisierung stört etwas. Nett! 8/9/10/8/11/9
