White Grape Gose
Pipeworks Brewing Co.

Pours a light golden color. Somewhat cloudy and effervescent. Thin fizzy white head dissipates quickly. Leaves a thin but complete layer of velvety white foam on top of the beer.

Aroma is lovely. Strong tart notes - lemon, and wheat. Hints of white grape must and some light grain notes.

Taste has notes of tart lemon, Meyer lemon, wheat, grains, grape must, and a nice tart finish. Its pretty straightforward in the profile, but its extremely well executed and the white grape plays so well with the nose profile.

Feel is light and refreshing. Nice tartness on the front that dies off into a dry finish.

Overall another lovely gose from Pipeworks. I hope this one is a regular release over the summer months.

Canned 10/15/18; drank 2/25/19 @ the Yarchives.

See-through orange appearance.

A rough pour yielded a nice bright white head; frothy lace.

Honeyed wheat, mildly tart white grape & faint caramel notes in the nose.

Medium thin mouthfeel.

White grape flavor up front; honeyed grain & mildly tart notes on the finish.

Balanced, and although I rarely say this, it could have been a bit more tart/sour. Enjoyable but not one to seek out.

Such an excellent gose, the white grape really provides an excellent balance to the tartness and acidity of the base. It's subtle rather than being distracting, such that the end result comes across as a well-made, traditional gose, instead of being one of the overly fruited versions that has become more popular.

Poured a clear and sparkling gold with white foam. Smell featured white grape and grape juice, to get both wet fruit and sugary grape, with some flowers, salt and sour wheat. Some acidity hanging in the balance. Taste was nostalgic for my youth with grape soda, certainly carbonated and sweet enough, with a salty and sour kick on the end. Pretty fun, but a whole glass is a bit much according to my dentist. Fun!
