Goosourus

Czech Republic·Fruited Sour
Tap to rate

A sour ale with gooseberry purée, intensely tart and refreshing. The sourness is pronounced and made for drinkers who are not afraid of really strong flavours. It is brewed unfiltered and unpasteurised from water, barley and wheat malt, gooseberry purée and hops, and it belongs to the core range, the beers the brewery says you will always find on offer.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for Goosourus

◎ Appearance

A pale straw yellow, almost luminous in the glass. The unfiltered character creates a light haze throughout the body, with fine particles suspended that catch light delicately. The head is modest but persistent, leaving intermittent traces of lacing as you drink.

◌ Aroma

Sharp gooseberry character dominates the nose, tart and green with a distinct herbaceous edge. Beneath lies a soft wheat malt base with subtle grain sweetness. The overall effect is bright and piercing—herbal, fruited, and immediately inviting.

◐ Taste

The sourness hits decisively on entry, with pronounced acidity that frames the gooseberry purée's tart, slightly underripe character. Mid-palate carries wheat malt's soft grain body, creating gentle roundness against the sharp fruit. Bitterness is restrained, allowing tartness to remain the dominant force throughout.

◑ Finish

The aftertaste is clean and refreshing, with the tartness lingering pleasantly without becoming cloying. A light, dry sensation persists on the palate, inviting the next sip.
