Sunshine Bliss

Tap to rate

Sunshine Bliss is a light-bodied fruited sour brewed on a traditional German gose base. Mango, passionfruit and pineapple go in after fermentation and take over the aroma with a thick tropical sweetness that the acidity then cuts straight through. The salt of the style keeps the fruit from turning cloying, and the body stays light enough that the beer drinks easily at strength. The finish is tart and short.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by an intense tropical fruit medley: ripe mango, passionfruit, and pineapple leap from the glass with thick, juicy sweetness. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle saline note and a whisper of the traditional gose character. There is no aggressive hoppy bite—the aromatics remain soft, inviting, and fruit-forward throughout.

◐ Taste

The entry is soft and slightly sweet, with tropical fruit flavors immediately taking center stage. The mid-palate brings a sharp, clean acidity that cuts decisively through the sweetness, while a subtle saltiness prevents the beer from becoming cloying. The body remains light and easy to drink, allowing the bright interplay of fruit, acid, and salt to shine without heaviness.
