Cherry Gose

◎ Aussehen

Pale straw yellow with excellent clarity and a bright, active carbonation. The white head forms quickly and clings to the glass with fine, delicate lacing. The body appears light and inviting, typical of a well-made kettle-soured wheat ale.

◌ Aroma

Bright Montmorency cherry dominates the nose, offering tart and slightly jammy stone fruit notes. A subtle salinity underscores the fruit, complemented by soft wheat and a touch of rice grain. The Chinook hops remain restrained, contributing only a faint herbal whisper in the background.

◐ Geschmack

The palate opens with vibrant sour cherry fruit that is immediately balanced by a gentle saltiness characteristic of the gose style. Mid-palate shows crisp wheat grain and a light tartness that evolves into a mineral-driven sourness. Bitterness remains minimal at 12 IBU, allowing the fruit and salt to take center stage without harshness.

◑ Abgang

The finish is clean and refreshing, with the sour cherry and salinity lingering briefly before fading. A dry, slightly puckering aftertaste leaves the mouth feeling alert and thirst-quenching.
