This vibrant Gose reimagines the traditional German wheat beer through a bold Chilean lens, offering a complex interplay of tropical fruit and savory spice. Dominant aromas of ripe Mango and zesty Lima provide a bright, citrusy opening that harmonizes with a clean, lactic tartness. The addition of Merken introduces a sophisticated layer of earthy smoke and a whisper of peppery heat, grounding the fruit profile. On the palate, the signature salt addition enhances the mouthfeel and highlights the fruit sweetness, while the Merken provides a lingering, spicy finish that complements the crisp, acidic snap characteristic of a refreshing Gose.
Appearance.Yellow to pale gold (3-4 SRM). Unfiltered with a moderate to full haze from wheat and fruit additions. Features a moderate white head with tight bubbles and fair retention for the style.
Aroma.High intensity with prominent tropical mango and sharp lime zest. A distinctive smoky and earthy chili character from the Merken is immediately apparent. Low bready wheat malt supports the aromatics, with no hop character and a clean, lactic sourness.
Taste.Initial impression is tart and fruity with a refreshing saltiness. Ripe mango and lime juice flavors are primary, balanced by a medium-low lactic acidity. The Merken provides a subtle smoky depth and a light, spicy tingle. Very low bitterness with no hop flavor. Finishes dry and mouthwatering with a lingering hint of smoke and spice.
Mouthfeel.Medium-light to medium body, rounded and made fuller by the addition of salt and fruit. High carbonation provides an effervescent, crisp texture. A very slight prickle of heat from the Merken chili adds a unique, non-alcoholic warmth.
