Jabutigose
Cervejaria Way

 

 

12 ounce can into tulip glass, best before 11/2017. Pours lightly hazy/cloudy pinkish golden/orange color with a 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of tart lemon, lime, green apple, pear, red grape, melon, sea salt, pepper, wheat, cracker, hay, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/acidic yeast, grapes, sea salt, and light-moderate pale malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of big tart lemon, lime, green apple, pear, red grape, melon, sea salt, pepper, wheat, cracker, hay, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness. Moderate fruity/lactic tart/sourness and yeast spiciness on the finish. Lingering notes of sour lemon, lime, green apple, pear, red grape, melon, sea salt, pepper, wheat, cracker, hay, grass, light lacto funk, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, grapes, sea salt, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/tart/sourness balance. Slightly puckering, but not astringent after the finish. Moderate dryness from sour/spiciness and carbonation, increasing through the glass. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, crisp, moderately grainy/acidic/saline, and slightly tannic balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 3.5%. Overall this is a very nice fruited gose style. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/acidic yeast, grapes, sea salt, and light-moderate pale malt flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean and refreshing to drink with the balanced acidity. Nice grape presence, and a spot on base beer to style. A very enjoyable offering.

Pours a hazy salmon color. 1/3 inch head of a white color. Good retention and slight lacing. Smells of wheat, slight yeast, earthiness, floral, slight fruit, and a slight plastic aroma. Fits the style of a Gose. Mouth feel is sharp and crisp, with an high carbonation level. Tastes of hint of salt, pale malt, floral, fruit, bacterial funk, slight earthiness, and a hint of ginger. Overall, decent appearance, blend, and complexity, but the plastic aroma is quite distracting.

From can into wine glass. Massive fluffy head, slight pinkish yellow in color. Not much sour smell but it's there. The taste is incredible, taste, sour fruit & dry finish. the use of this exotic Brazilian fruit the Jabuti fruit has added much depth to this Gose. The salt tartness is just right. Great carbonation. One of the best Gose's I've tried yet. I just wish it was not so expensive.
