This vibrant Black Currant Gose offers a refreshing, sensory-forward experience centered on the interaction between salinity and dark fruit. It leads with the deep, earthy tartness of black currants, layered over a soft, bready foundation of Pilsner and wheat malt. The signature salinity provides a mouthwatering roundness that balances the sharp lactic acidity, while hints of citrusy coriander add a bright top note. At a sessionable 3% ABV, the profile remains exceptionally crisp and highly effervescent, finishing bone-dry. The interplay between the dark berry character and subtle sea salt creates a complex yet approachable palate, delivering a modern fruit-forward twist on the classic Gose.
Appearance.Deep reddish-purple to magenta; moderate, pink-tinted white head with good retention; hazy and unfiltered appearance.
Aroma.Moderate-high intensity with dominant earthy black currant and sharp lactic sourness. Clean, bready wheat malt provides a subtle backbone, complemented by a light, citrusy coriander spice. No hop aroma is present.
Taste.Initial impression is sharply tart with intense black currant fruitiness. Low doughy malt flavor is quickly overtaken by a noticeable but restrained salt character that creates a mouthwatering sensation. No hop flavor or bitterness. The finish is very dry and acidic, with lingering berry skin tartness and a clean, refreshing aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation. No alcohol warmth is perceived. The salt provides a tingly, slightly rounded mouthfeel that prevents the acidity from feeling overly thin.
