Looks like I’m officially on a Bacchus-bender™. This latest Bacchus has the honour of being the “Peoples Choice” winner GABS 2016 (The Great Australasian Beer SpecTAPular, aka Australia’s biggest beer festival). A good sign indeed as several previous Peoples Choice winners have been simply specTAPular (to recycle a tired pun), including: Yeastie Boys’ Gunnamatta IPA, La Sirene’s Belgian Praline Ale, and Bacchus’s own Raspberry and White Chocolate Pilsner. If those beers are any indicator Peanut Brittle Gose is going to be a real treat.
Poured from a 500ml bottle into a Duvel tulip.
A: Presents a nice hazed mahogany body with a thin beige head that reduces to absolutely nothing. No head seems to be a norm with Goses so I’m not panicking yet. As far as being aesthetically pleasing I really like the colour of the body - it reminds me of my apartment - which smells of rich mahogany. 8/10.
S: Woah, this glass has a cacophony of scents going on; peanuts, the toffee you find on toffee apples, jersey caramels, hint of plain yoghurt, sea salt, and a touch of coriander seed. It’s one busy and slightly discordant aroma - I hope it doesn’t come across like that in the flavour. 7/10.
T: Sheeeeeit! It’s exactly what you thought you would get in a combination of peanut brittle with Gose flavours. It begins with a jersey caramel, toffee, butterscotch and peanut sweetness upfront, which is almost immediately cut through by lactobacillus and coriander with a hint of salt and a slightly sour finish. Again like every Gose I’ve ever had there is a hint of that refreshing lemon drink known as ‘Eno’, which I cannot for the life of me work out why that flavour crops up in EVERY Gose I’ve had... In any case I have a weakness for peanut brittle and the aftertaste of this brew is like a beery version of that, yum! 9/10.
M: Again like all the Goses I’ve had this has a body that feels heavier than you would expect given the ABV, with a carbonation that feels soft but gives you gassy burps at the same time. 7/10.
D: As a fan of peanut brittle [my teeth aren’t for obvious reasons] I was both impressed with this brew, but also left wanting a little bit RE: sweetness - the way the lactobacillus almost immediately kills the peanut/toffee sweetness... I feel that some of the sweetness needs to stick around. Anyhow, I’m being picky now - this is my favourite Gose to date. 8/10.
Food match: I’m going to go left-field and say Vietnamese Bun Bo Xao (beef salad).

In the mood for a salty treat? You may not have had a Gose style before, it is more of a revival style that was brough back for craft. It is historically a carbonated German wheat beer made with both salt and coriander. Let’s have a sip of Bacchus’s take on the brew.

Sour – Gose

You would normally find a Gose to be straw to light gold, so very surprised to see this dark amber, with a touch of haze pour out. I choose a stange glass which gave me pretty good visibility. The head was light and fluffy and then burned away into a slight film. Not surprising for a Gose though.
Sweet and buttery is the first thing to jump out at me and with another deep intake I caught the roasted peanuts. I find it pretty amazing that the aroma can be so spot on, an achievement in itself really. The salt is noticeable, similar to what you might find on an ocean breeze.
Those aromas follow us right into the first sip. Peanut brittle is front and centre if you have had it before, this is likely to hit you in the face on the first drop. As you register the sweet nutty taste, the salt and coriander kills it off and blends into a warming long finish.
A unique experience which should be enjoyed by many, although I can’t image having two in a sitting. This seems to me to be more of a treat and enjoyed like a sherry.
Cheers
