SingleSpeed Ring Around the Gose

Tap to rate

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.

◌ 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.
