This intriguing Gose variant from the Las Numeradas series pays tribute to Andalusia by integrating salicornia into a traditional German wheat ale framework. The pour reveals a distinctive reddish hue, departing from style norms while maintaining characteristic haziness. On the nose, a clean lactic tartness meets a saline minerality evocative of sea breezes, layered with unexpected whispers of red berries. The palate is defined by a refreshing acidity and a doughy wheat malt core, balanced by the nuanced, mouthwatering saltiness of salicornia. It finishes remarkably dry and effervescent, leaving a crisp, fruity trail that invites another sip and a lingering, saline aftertaste.
Appearance.Reddish-amber to soft ruby hue (10–14 SRM), deviating from the typical yellow color. Unfiltered with a moderate to full haze. Moderate off-white head with tight bubbles and good retention.
Aroma.Moderate intensity with a clean lactic sourness. Bready and doughy wheat malt character is prominent. A distinctive mineral-salt character from the salicornia is present, complemented by light fruity esters of red berries and a subtle, bright citrus note. No hop aroma.
Taste.Initial impression of crisp lactic sourness and doughy malt sweetness. Moderate salt character from the salicornia provides a savory, mouthwatering edge without being overtly salty. Fruity notes of red berries and lemon zest are noticeable. Very low bitterness with no hop flavor. Finishes very dry and clean with acidity and salt balancing the malt.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation. The salt adds a tingly, mouthwatering quality and a slightly rounded texture. Crisp and refreshing with no alcohol warmth.
