Lucid Dreams

◎ Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a fine, delicate white head that dissipates to a thin collar with moderate lacing. The carbonation is visible and lively, creating fine streams of bubbles that convey the beer's crisp character. The 3 SRM rating is evident in the beer's bright, almost luminous pale tone.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with a striking tropical fruit medley—ripe mango and passion fruit lead, followed by a distinctive blood orange zest that adds brightness and citric complexity. Underlying the fruit is a gentle wheat maltiness and a subtle briny minerality that distinguishes this as a gose. The overall impression is fresh, aromatic, and inviting without aggressive hop character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters with a harmonious blend of tropical fruit sweetness and a light, cleansing saltiness that defines the gose character. Mid-palate reveals layered citrus from the blood orange alongside wheat malt backbone, balanced by a restrained bitterness (6 IBU) that emerges in the mid-finish rather than dominating. The interplay of sweet, sour, and salty elements creates complexity without overwhelming the delicate 5.5% ABV base.

◑ Finish

The finish is clean and moderately dry, with the blood orange's slight bitterness lingering pleasantly on the palate. The aftertaste is refreshing and crisp, leaving behind a faint citric and mineral character that invites another sip.
