Zavod

Zavod Redshot transforms the classic Gose into a vibrant, savory experience defined by an abundance of ripe, red tomatoes. The profile is immediate and intense, balancing the rich umami of the fruit with a sharp, spicy kick from a generous addition of black pepper. A foundational lactic tartness provides a bright, refreshing counterpoint to the beer’s unusual thickness and density. Subtle saline notes enhance the savory elements, while a faint bready wheat character anchors the palate. This interpretation maintains the style's refreshing nature through its clean acidity and mouthwatering finish, despite its bold, garden-fresh complexity.

Appearance. SRM 25+; opaque, deep crimson red; moderate pinkish-white head with fair retention and slight lacing; highly turbid due to tomato solids.

Aroma. High intensity; dominant aromas of fresh, sun-ripened tomatoes and savory umami; prominent sharp spice of freshly cracked black pepper; clean, lemony lactic acidity; very low hop aroma; faint bready wheat notes in the background.

Taste. Initial impression of rich tomato juice followed by a sharp, peppery bite; medium-high lactic sourness provides balance; noticeable but integrated sea salt character enhances savory notes; minimal hop bitterness; bready, doughy malt supports the adjuncts; finish is clean and tart with a lingering spice and mouthwatering saline aftertaste.

Mouthfeel. Medium-full body with a surprising thickness and viscous texture; moderate carbonation; noticeable spicy warmth from the black pepper; refreshing acidity and salt provide a tingly, mouthwatering sensation; no astringency.
