Strawberry Gose in the Machine
Flix Brewhouse

looks like these guys have quite a few locations now, makes sense, its a concept that works, plus, how many beers could i drink in an average feature length film? a fair few. this has to be a profitable model! this is a strawberry gose, and its light and drinkable, neither too sour nor overly fruited, both of which i appreciate in a session beer context. gose is everywhere now, no longer a lost old world style, and so many of them have fruit too. the ones i think work the best are these, with sweeter fruits, like strawberries, mangoes, and pineapples, to offset some of the lacto sourness. this one is pretty reserved, a jammy sort of sweet strawberry and lemony tartness, clean in the souring, and with enough wheat body to keep it beery. i like the sort of desserty nature of the fruit, it doesnt bother me at all in a sour like this, and even though it might lack a little depth, its hard to argue with the flavor overall. i think its cool these styles have become mainstream, and its examples like this that really make it happen. i cant imagine anyone not at least enjoying one glass of this...
