Gose 8 º 10 IBU

Hop Hooligans

This Imperial Gose presents a lush, dessert-like sensory profile driven by a massive infusion of Guava, Raspberry, and Peach purees. The base of malted oats and Golden naked oats creates a dense, silky foundation further enriched by the additions of lactose and an elevated 8% ABV. Vibrant tropical guava and sharp raspberry dominate the palate, supported by the soft, stone-fruit sweetness of peach. A deliberate sea salt addition provides a savory counterpoint to the jammy fruit, while a clean lactic acidity ensures a refreshing, mouthwatering finish despite the beer’s substantial body and creamy texture.

Appearance. Deep, opaque reddish-pink with a heavy haze from fruit solids and oats; pours with a dense, creamy, light pink head that shows moderate retention and fine lacing.

Aroma. High intensity; explosive notes of tropical guava and fresh-picked raspberry dominate, followed by subtle peach skin and a light doughy sweetness from the oats. A faint mineral saltiness and clean lactic tartness weave through the fruit, with no perceptible hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is a burst of jammy red berries and musky guava; the middle reveals a creamy, dessert-like sweetness from lactose and peach. Malt flavor is bready and oat-heavy. Low bitterness is eclipsed by a medium-high lactic acidity. The finish is long and fruit-centric with a distinct, mouthwatering sea salt tingle and a clean, off-dry aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Full-bodied and viscous with a luxurious, velvety creaminess derived from Golden naked oats and lactose; moderate carbonation provides enough lift to balance the weight, accompanied by a gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
