A Cova da Serpe Retrancus
This Gose offers a unique coastal profile, brewed with Atlantic seawater from A Costa da Morte to impart a distinctive maritime character. It pours a hazy light blonde with a delicate, effervescent head. The aroma is defined by a fresh sea breeze and bright citrus notes, underscored by a soft, doughy malt presence. On the palate, a balanced acidity leads into a noticeable but well-integrated saltiness that enhances the refreshing lemony fruitiness and subtle bready sweetness. Despite a slightly elevated strength for the style, it maintains a light-to-medium body and a crisp, dry finish. It is a vibrant, mineral-forward interpretation of the classic Saxon wheat beer.
Appearance. Light blonde to pale yellow (3-4 SRM). Unfiltered with a slight to moderate haze. White head with low to moderate stability and fine, effervescent bubbles resulting from natural double fermentation.
Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clear briny, maritime scent. Bright lemony citrus esters and a light, bready Pilsner malt foundation. Clean fermentation with no significant hop aroma or yeast phenols.
Taste. Initial impression of refreshing tartness followed quickly by a noticeable mineral saltiness. Light bready malt flavor provides a brief counterpoint to the lemon-like acidity and fruitiness. Very low bitterness allows the sea salt and citrus characters to dominate. Finishes dry and crisp with a lingering saline, mouthwatering aftertaste.
Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with high carbonation and an effervescent quality. The seawater contribution provides a slightly tingly, mouthwatering sensation and a rounded mouthfeel. Very light alcohol warmth is present but well-integrated.
