Gose 5.6 º 5 IBU

Piwex

This experimental Gose reimagines the classic style by incorporating nearly fifty kilograms of pretzels, creating a savory-meets-sour sensory profile. The aroma is defined by a bright lactic tartness and the citrusy, lemon-like lift of coriander, underpinned by a distinctively toasted, bready scent from the pretzels. On the palate, a medium lactic acidity interplays with the doughy character of Pilsner and wheat malts. The finish is remarkably dry and effervescent, highlighted by a mouthwatering salinity that emphasizes the pretzel theme. This beer offers a complex balance of refreshing tartness and a lingering, savory crust-like quality.

Appearance. Yellow (SRM 4) with a moderate to full haze from the wheat and pretzel additions. It features a tall, white head of tight bubbles with good retention and persistent lacing.

Aroma. Moderate intensity featuring a clean lactic sourness. A prominent bready and doughy malt character is complemented by the toasted scent of baked pretzels. Fresh, citrusy coriander notes evoke lemon zest, while a subtle sea-salt breeze adds complexity. No hop aroma.

Taste. Initial impression is a sharp, refreshing lactic tartness. Moderate bready and doughy flavors from the Pilsner and wheat are elevated by a specific toasted crust flavor. Light lemon-like fruitiness persists throughout. The salt is noticeable and provides a mouthwatering quality without becoming overtly salty. Very low bitterness with no hop flavor, finishing dry and crisp with lingering acidity.

Mouthfeel. Medium body with a slightly rounder, thicker texture than standard examples due to the pretzels and 5.6% ABV. High, effervescent carbonation. Features a light, tingly salinity on the tongue with no astringency.
