🌍 United Kingdom · Lime Gose · One of 2 Lime Goses in hopIQ

A Gose built on confrontation: the lime arrives mouth-puckeringly sour, so face-scrunchingly sharp that your mouth puckers before the swallow. Underneath sits the Anglesey sea salt—115 kilograms of fresh lime and a kilo of mineral brine create a juicy, zesty dryness that doesn't soften but doubles down, lime zest threading through every sip. At 4.5 percent alcohol, this is aperitif territory: bright, bracingly tart, and engineered for the first pour on a warm afternoon when you want your palate rewired rather than caressed. The sourness is the point, not the context.

Tasting Notes

AI-generated sensory profile for A Passion For Fashion – Lime Gose

Appearance

Pale straw yellow with exceptional clarity and a bright, almost luminous quality in the glass. The carbonation is assertive, generating a fine, tight head that dissipates quickly—appropriate for a beer engineered as a palate opener rather than a contemplative sipper. The body sits lean and transparent, with no haze or suspended matter.

Aroma

Lime dominates the nose with an almost aggressive citrus presence—fresh lime zest and juice rather than candied sweetness. The Anglesey sea salt introduces a subtle mineral-brine background that grounds the citrus without softening it. There is minimal malt expression; the aromatic profile is entirely adjunct-driven, with no fermentation notes competing for attention.

Taste

The palate arrives with mouth-puckering sourness and immediate lime sharpness that demands attention on the attack. The mid-palate amplifies rather than softens this tartness; sea salt and mineral dryness thread through every sip, creating a savory counterpoint that prevents the lime from becoming flabby or one-dimensional. At 4.5% ABV, there is no warming alcohol to distract, only the pure confrontation of acid and salt that doubles down through the finish.

Finish

The sourness and salt linger cleanly without harshness, leaving the mouth refreshed rather than fatigued. This is a brief, crisp finish designed to reset the palate for the next sip or the next beer entirely.
