Wild Gooseberry Chase

◎ Appearance

Pale golden hue with bright, translucent clarity and a fine, sustained white head. Delicate lacing clings to the glass walls as you drink. The beer presents with lively carbonation visible as fine bubbles ascending steadily through the clear body.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with vibrant brett-driven fruit notes: ripe pineapple and pear lead, followed by distinctive gooseberry character. Bright citrus acidity emerges beneath the fruit, with subtle oak contributing a dry, woody undertone. A light yeasty complexity rounds the aromatics without dominating.

◐ Taste

Entry is dry and refreshing, with pear and pineapple notes transitioning smoothly across the palate. Mid-palate develops subtle dried mango sweetness balanced against mineral minerality and a gentle oak presence from French oak aging. Moderate bitterness from Wai-iti and Hallertauer Mittelfrüh remains restrained, allowing the stone fruit and funky yeast character to shape the flavor profile.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry with a lingering mineral edge that persists without harshness. Residual yeast particulate adds a subtle textural complexity in the aftertaste.
