Much like Berliner weisse, salty gose beers have experienced a surge in popularity among craft beer buffs in recent years. This gose includes a healthy dose of pungent blood oranges that merge with fragrances of toasted bread, marmalade and orange peel. The salt character seems evocative of a seaside breeze, while the appearance is brilliantly clear with a striking orange tint and light carbonation. Multifaceted flavor notes of orange, lemon, salted toast, lactic acid and mild wheat combine in a harmonious balance. Any hop aroma, flavor or bitterness seems virtually unnoticeable. This creative, citrus-oriented recipe ranks as extremely drinkable, restoring and appealing.
