Eau De Janeiro

Tap to rate

Eau De Janeiro is Freigeist's mango Gose, a fruited sour beer built around mango. Gose is one of the historical German styles that Freigeist Bierkultur, the experimental offshoot of the Cologne brewpub Braustelle, set out to revive and update, here with mango as the fruit.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Eau De Janeiro

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a bright, almost luminous quality. The head is modest but persistent, leaving fine lacing on the glass as you drink. Carbonation appears lively and well-integrated, typical of a well-crafted Gose.

◌ Aroma

Vibrant mango aromatics dominate immediately, with ripe, juicy stone fruit character that is neither candied nor cloying. Beneath the tropical fruit sits a gentle tartness and mineral undertone from the Gose tradition, with just a whisper of salt and fresh yeast. The overall impression is bright and inviting rather than heavy or overripe.

◐ Taste

The mango character translates seamlessly to the palate, delivering genuine fruit juice quality without artificial sweetness. Acidity cuts cleanly through the center, building a pleasant tartness that is refreshing rather than harsh, complemented by a subtle mineral and saline note. The low IBU allows the fruit to shine while the Gose structure provides sophistication and balance.

◑ Finish

The finish is crisp and dry, with the mango fading gracefully into a lingering tart, slightly salty aftertaste. The refreshing quality persists, inviting another sip without any cloying residue.
