Nama Brewing Mantra is a vibrant and refreshing Gose that builds upon the historical Leipzig style with a citrus-forward, spicy profile. Poured into the glass, it radiates a hazy yellow glow, leading with an aromatic punch of zesty fresh lime and the sharp, warming zing of ginger. A foundation of bready wheat malt and Pilsner malt is balanced by a clean lactic tartness and a bright, citrusy coriander lift. On the palate, a subtle sea salt minerality provides a mouthwatering roundness, harmonizing with the spice and citrus for a dry, effervescent, and incredibly crisp finish.
