This playful Gose reimagines the traditional style as a liquid dessert, evoking the aromatic warmth of a freshly baked apple pie. The sensory experience is led by a dense, spiced bouquet of sweet cinnamon and bright, orchard-fresh apples. Despite the inclusion of lactose for a creamy, cake-like sweetness, the underlying fermentation provides a clean, lactic tartness that cuts through the richness. A delicate pinch of salt enhances the fruit profile while tempering the sugar. It finishes with a refreshing snap of acidity, balancing the indulgent bready wheat malt and smooth, medium-full body of this 6% ABV interpretation.
Appearance.Deep straw to pale yellow (4 SRM). Unfiltered with a moderate to full haze. Presents a moderate white head with tight bubbles and good retention.
Aroma.High intensity aromatics of baked apples and warm cinnamon spice. A creamy, sweet lactose note blends with bready, doughy wheat malt and a subtle, clean lactic sourness. No hop aroma or coriander is present in this fruited variant.
Taste.Initial impression is a dessert-like sweetness from lactose and red apples, followed quickly by a savory hint of salt. The mid-palate features doughy malt and spicy cinnamon. Finishes with a crisp, moderate lactic acidity that prevents the beer from becoming cloying, leaving a lingering tart-sweet fruit character. Bitterness is imperceptible, with balance driven by acidity.
Mouthfeel.Medium-full body with a creamy, smooth texture due to the addition of lactose. Carbonation is moderate to high, providing a tingly, effervescent sensation that works with the salt to create a mouthwatering effect.
