Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Wild Sour Series: Blackberry Gose

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with ripe blackberry and stone fruit, accompanied by bright citrus—lemon zest and orange—that cuts through the sweetness. Coriander spice adds a herbal complexity, while a gentle mineral quality from the sea salt provides an underlying salinity without overwhelming the fruit-forward character.

◐ Taste

Blackberry dominates the palate with vibrant tartness that builds mid-sip, balanced by the mild salt and coriander's peppery warmth. The citrus notes persist throughout, lending crisp definition to the fruit, while low bitterness (12 IBU) allows the tart, salty, and spiced character to remain the focal point. The body is light and refreshing, never cloying.
