GOSE ~ COLLECTIVE ARTS BREWING

Sampled from a tin, this beer poured an unfiltered hazy light straw yellow with a small white head, which left little lacing as it disappeared quickly. The nose was light and full of bright citrus (lemon, lime and orange), with crackery wheat malts, light tart sourness and a hint of coriander. The flavour follows the nose with the addition of mild saltiness and a touch of white pepper. There is very low hop bitterness, so the salt added a nice dryness to the finish. Salt and citrus linger a short while on the aftertaste. The gose has a spritzy mouthfeel with lots of active carbonation. I like the style, and this was no exception. What it lacks in complexity it almost makes up for in it’s refreshing qualities.
