Bramble Patch is a vibrant Gose that artfully balances the rustic, tart character of a traditional European sour ale with a lush infusion of blackberries. The sensory experience begins with an inviting lactic acidity and bright berry notes, grounded by a delicate, doughy foundation of Pilsner and wheat malts. As it washes over the palate, a distinct but restrained salt character provides a mouthwatering roundness that heightens the jammy fruit sweetness and lemon-like coriander spice. This effervescent ale finishes remarkably dry and crisp, offering a refreshing, fruit-forward profile where the blackberry tartness lingers pleasantly without cloying weight.

Very low bitterness with no hop flavor. Finishes fully dry and crisp with lingering berry skin and citrusy coriander notes.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high, effervescent carbonation. The salt provides a tingly, mouthwatering quality and a perceived roundness that prevents the beer from feeling thin despite the acidity.
