Blackberry Sour with Guava

◎ Appearance

Deep purple-red hue with exceptional clarity and bright translucency, revealing the interplay of blackberry and guava throughout. The head rises modestly and settles into a fine collar with good schaumhaftung. Carbonation presents as a steady stream of fine bubbles characteristic of the gose tradition.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dark berry compote and blackberry jam, layered beneath a distinct floral and slightly musky tropical character from guava. Underlying this sits the subtle mineral note of the German gose base—a dry, saline quality that prevents any cloying sweetness. The overall effect is balanced and aromatic without being perfumed.

◐ Taste

Entry is light and quenching, with immediate sour acidity balanced by the mineral water character that lends a dry, almost chalky mouthfeel. The palate unfolds with berry and tropical notes in succession, supported by a gentle tartness rather than pointed sharpness. The finish arrives clean and quick, with no residual sweetness or cloying aftertaste.

◑ Finish

The close is crisp and short, with lingering mineral dryness that frames the fading berry character. No bitterness or astringency remains—only a clean, refreshing impression.
