7 Bells

◎ Appearance

7 Bells presents a pale, almost colorless body with excellent clarity and a bright, fine white head that settles to a delicate collar with strong lacing. The beer sparkles in the glass with visible carbonation, displaying the characteristic translucence of a well-made gose. Light catches the liquid with an almost champagne-like luminosity.

◌ Aroma

The nose is dominated by ripe passion fruit—distinctly sweet and tropical, leaning toward candied notes rather than sharp citrus. Beneath the fruit lies a subtle mineral undertone from the subtle salting, with a gentle tartness that suggests the acidity to come. There is no prominent malt or hop character; the adjunct is entirely in the foreground.

◐ Taste

The palate opens bright and tart, with passion fruit flavor threading through a refreshing acidity that immediately engages the mouth. Mid-palate reveals the gose's signature saltiness sitting beneath the fruit, balancing sweetness with sour without becoming aggressive. The bitterness is minimal and restrained, allowing the interplay of acid and salt to define the beer's character.

◑ Finish

The finish is dry and crisp, with the sourness lingering pleasantly on the palate while the salt fades to a mineral-clean aftertaste. The beer leaves the mouth refreshed and thirst-quenching, inviting another sip.
