Dry-Hopped Gose

Bellwoods Brewery
Tap to rate
🌍 Canada · Gose · One of 19 Goses in hopIQ

A crushable summer sour that walks the line between tartness and drinkability with unusual grace. The gose arrives light-bodied and lightly salted, its acidity cutting clean without aggression. Dry-hopping brings tropical notes forward—key lime, grapefruit, and lemon candy aromas dominate the glass, a candy-shop brightness that shouldn't work but does. The salt acts as a quiet anchor, keeping the sourness from turning puckering. All too easy to reach for again, this is the kind of beer that disappears on warm afternoons, when you want something tart enough to refresh but approachable enough to drink without thinking.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Dry-Hopped Gose

Appearance

A pale, nearly crystalline straw yellow with excellent clarity and bright luminosity. The head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, delicate lacing, dissipating steadily into a thin ring. Carbonation is moderate but visible, supporting the impression of a light-bodied, approachable summer beer.

Aroma

Vibrant tropical citrus jumps from the glass—key lime, grapefruit zest, and a candy-shop sweetness reminiscent of lemon drops. The dry-hop character sits forward, bright and clean without any grassy or vegetal edge. Beneath the aromatics, a subtle saline minerality and gentle acidity frame the nose without overwhelming the fruity character.

Taste

The palate arrives clean and lightly effervescent, with a delicate tartness that cuts through cleanly without aggression or puckering intensity. Tropical citrus flavors—lemon, lime, grapefruit—dominate the mid-palate, supported by a faint candy sweetness and a grounding whisper of salt that prevents the sourness from turning one-dimensional. The finish is dry and mineral, with just enough residual acidity to keep the beer refreshing on the swallow.

Finish

The finish is clean and crisp, with a lingering mineral dryness and just enough acidity to invite another sip. No harsh edges or lingering astringency—the aftertaste remains bright and refreshing.
