Gose 8.5 º

orca brau
Varvar Brew

This collaboration between orca brau and Varvar Brew reimagines the traditional Gose as a robust, high-gravity Imperial Fruited Gose. The profile is dominated by a vibrant, tangy core of lush apricot and the sharp, citrus-like zing of seabuckthorn. These fruits merge with a distinct, mouthwatering salinity that elevates the overall brightness. Beneath the fruit-forward intensity, a bready wheat malt base provides a creamy foundation, balancing the refreshing tartness. Despite the elevated strength, the finish remains crisp and effervescent, leaving a lingering impression of sun-ripened stone fruit and a subtle, warming complexity that distinguishes it from its sessionable ancestors.

Appearance. Deeply hazy and opaque, casting a saturated, sun-drenched orange-gold hue from the heavy fruit additions. It supports a thick, creamy white head with excellent persistence and fine-beaded lacing.

Aroma. High intensity aroma defined by an immediate burst of jammy apricot and the sharp, tropical-citrus edge of seabuckthorn berries. A clean, lactic tartness provides a bright backdrop, complemented by a hint of sea salt and a subtle, doughy malt sweetness.

Taste. The initial impression is a bold, refreshing tartness that quickly gives way to rich apricot flavors and the acidic punch of seabuckthorn. A moderate, integrated salt character provides a savory tingle that enhances the fruitiness. The malt flavor is bready and soft, providing enough body to balance the lactic acidity. Bitterness is negligible, leading to a clean, fruity, and slightly warming finish with no hop flavor.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a notable creaminess and a rounder, thicker texture than a standard version. Carbonation is high and effervescent, working with the salt to create a tingly, mouthwatering sensation. A gentle, well-integrated alcohol warmth is present.
