Brasserie Jukebox Roller Coaster is a vibrant Gose that balances historical complexity with a modern, fruit-forward profile. At a sessionable 4% ABV, it presents an inviting interplay between the tart, lactic acidity of the base wheat ale and a punchy infusion of blackcurrant and lime. The palate is defined by the dark, berry-like richness of cassis, underscored by a sharp, citrusy brightness from the lime. A delicate thread of sea salt enhances the mouthfeel, providing a savory counterpoint to the bready wheat malt. Effervescent and crisp, it finishes dry with a refreshing, saline-inflected tang and a clean, pop-acidulated finish.
Appearance.Pale pinkish-gold with a moderate, violet-tinted haze (SRM 3-5). Features a tall, fine-beaded white head with moderate retention and light lacing. Notably effervescent.
Aroma.Moderate to high intensity. Bright, zesty lime and deep, jammy blackcurrant dominate the foreground. Beneath the fruit, a clean lactic sourness mingles with light bready wheat and a subtle hint of spicy coriander. No hop aroma is present.
Taste.Initial impression is a sharp, refreshing tartness. Flavors of tart blackcurrant and zesty lime are prominent, supported by a low, doughy malt backbone. A noticeable but restrained salinity emerges mid-palate, rounding out the acidity. Bitterness is non-existent. The finish is bone-dry and crisp, leaving a lingering fruit-skin and saline tang without any hop character.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with a mouthwatering, tingly quality from the salt and carbonation. High carbonation provides a lively, effervescent scrub. No alcohol warmth. Refreshing and highly drinkable with a thinned-by-acidity texture.
