Elektra presents as a vibrant, crimson-hued Gose, amplified by a robust 7% ABV and the addition of sour cherries (višně). The sensory experience is led by a bright, tart cherry aroma intertwined with the classic Gose hallmarks of floral coriander and a subtle, briny sea salt breeze. On the palate, a refreshing lactic acidity meets the deep, stone-fruit tang of the cherries, supported by a doughy Pilsner and wheat malt foundation. The salt provides a mouthwatering roundness that balances the dry, effervescent finish, while the elevated alcohol adds a gentle, integrated warmth to this complex, fruit-forward interpretation of the style.
Appearance.Deep crimson to ruby red (15–20 SRM); moderate to tall pink-tinted head with good retention; hazy to opaque due to fruit solids and wheat protein.
Aroma.High intensity of tart sour cherries and stone fruit; moderate citrusy coriander; light doughy and bready malt; subtle briny note; clean lactic sourness with no hop aroma.
Taste.Initial sharp tartness from sour cherries and lactic acid; moderate bready wheat malt flavor provides a brief counterpoint; light to moderate salt character is noticeable but not overtly salty; low bitterness; finishes very dry and mouthwatering with a lingering tart cherry skin aftertaste.
Mouthfeel.Medium body, feeling rounder than typical for the style due to the 7% ABV; high carbonation; effervescent and tingly on the tongue; slight, well-integrated alcohol warmth.
