This contemporary Gose presents a vibrant sensory profile defined by the bright, zesty interplay of lime and lush raspberry. The aroma is dominated by fresh red berry notes and a sharp citrus pith, underscored by faint doughy Pilsner and wheat malt and a hint of mineral-driven sea salt. On the palate, a clean lactic acidity provides a refreshing snap, elevating the natural tartness of the raspberry while the lime offers a cooling finish. Despite the slightly higher alcohol content for the style, it remains highly drinkable with a medium-light body and a crisp, saline-flecked conclusion.
Appearance.Deep pink to light ruby hue (SRM 6-9 equivalent) with a moderate haze from the wheat and fruit additions. Pours with a frothy, pale-pink head that shows moderate retention and fine lacing.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of fresh-picked raspberries and zesty lime peel. Subtle background of doughy wheat malt and a light, citrusy coriander note. Very low esters; clean lactic sourness without acetic notes.
Taste.Initial sharp raspberry tartness followed by a burst of acidic lime. Medium-low bready malt flavor provides a brief platform for the sourness. Light salt character is noticeable on the lips and mid-palate, enhancing the fruit flavors. Bitterness is virtually absent. Finishes bone-dry and effervescent with a lingering citrus zest.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light body with high carbonation that creates a lively, prickly sensation. A light, integrated alcohol warmth is present. The salt provides a slight mouthwatering, rounder texture that balances the crisp acidity.
