Varvar Brew

This Gose from Varvar Brew, known as OGurke, presents a vibrant sensory experience defined by its namesake cucumber infusion. On the nose, bright lactic acidity mingles with the scent of freshly sliced cucumber and the citrusy spice of coriander. The palate is greeted by a crisp, tart snap supported by a soft, doughy base of Pilsner and wheat malt. A gentle sea salt presence enhances the savory character, making the cucumber pop with a refreshing, brine-like edge. High carbonation and a dry, clean finish make this a quintessential thirst-quencher with a playful, garden-fresh twist.

Appearance. Pale yellow (3 SRM) with a persistent, moderate haze typical of unfiltered wheat-based ales. It pours with a tall, white head of tight bubbles and exhibits excellent effervescence.

Aroma. Moderate to high intensity. Distinctive fresh cucumber skin and juice aromas dominate, complemented by bright, lemon-like lactic sourness. Moderate bready wheat malt provides a soft background, while coriander contributes a subtle floral and citrusy note without any vegetal celery-like traits.

Taste. Initial impression of refreshing lactic acidity and cool cucumber. The malt profile is moderately doughy and bready. Salt is noticeable on the tongue, providing a mouthwatering quality that rounds out the acidity. Low bitterness allows the tartness to balance the malt. Finishes dry and clean with lingering cucumber freshness.

Mouthfeel. Medium-light body with a prickly, high carbonation that feels effervescent. The salt provides a tingly quality and a slightly thicker mouthfeel, though it remains crisp and light due to the acidity. No alcohol warmth.
