🌍 United States · Fruited Gose · One of 1 Fruited Goses in hopIQ

SingleSpeed's flagship Gose — 4.1% ABV, 6 IBU, brewed with sea salt, passionfruit, and guava. Bronze medal at the 2018 World Beer Cup. Tart-tropical-and-salty in balance, low alcohol, session-first. The Iowa brewery's sour slot done properly — a distinct axis to the four-core lineup rather than an afterthought.

Mildly bitter and dry.

Restrained on both sides — a spare, precise shape that trusts the base to speak.

Aroma

Tropical stone fruit dominates the nose, with distinct passionfruit and guava notes rising above a subtle wheaten Malz foundation. A gentle minerality from the sea salt addition provides an intriguing saline undertone without overwhelming the fruit-forward character. The aromatic profile is balanced and restrained, inviting rather than aggressive.

Taste

The palate opens refreshingly tart, with passionfruit and guava framing a crisp, dry center. Sea salt accentuates the fruit acids and adds textural complexity without dominance, while the low IBU allows these flavors to shine. The body remains light and session-oriented, with a clean wheat character supporting the overall tartness and tropical impression.
