This Kumquat Gose, a collaboration with Birrificio Bajön, presents a vibrant sensory profile centered on bright citrus and historical nuance. The addition of kumquat intensifies the traditional coriander character, yielding zesty, orange-like aromas and a sharp, tangy fruitiness. A base of Pilsner and wheat malt provides a soft, doughy foundation that balances the lactic sourness. The signature sea salt addition offers a subtle, mouthwatering salinity that rounds out the palate without overpowering the delicate pome fruit esters. Refreshingly effervescent and exceptionally dry, this sessionable ale concludes with a clean, crisp finish where acidity, rather than hops, provides the primary structure.
Appearance.Yellow (3 SRM) with a moderate to full haze; features a tall, white head with tight bubbles and good retention, supported by high effervescence.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity featuring prominent kumquat citrus and bright, lemony coriander. Low bready wheat malt presence with a clean, lactic sour note and a hint of fresh sea salt.
Taste.Noticeable lactic sourness balanced by moderate doughy malt. Distinctive kumquat fruitiness provides a citrusy zest, complemented by light salt that lingers on the tongue. Very low hop bitterness; finishes very dry and refreshing with a clean, acidic snap.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with very high carbonation. The salt content provides a tingly, mouthwatering quality and a slightly rounded texture, though the acidity keeps the beer feeling light and crisp.
