Skyrgosi
Gæðingur Öl

 

On tap at Micro Bar in Reykjavik, Iceland.

This one pours a lighter yellow color, with a small head, and no lacing.

Smells kinda yogurty, which makes sense, since it's fermented with Skyr yogurt culture. I get some sharp lacto aromas, a little bit of citrus, and Smarties.

This is a really excellent sour. Does Gosi mean Gose in Icelandic? If it does, I wouldn't immediately peg this as a Gose, since I get no saltiness. However, I do peg this is a tasty beer. It's got a really clean sour bite to it, clean and nicely tart, with a little bit of citrus, a yogurty-ish funk, and a hint of grassy things.

This is light bodied, with a crisp and juicy mouthfeel.

Another impressive beer from these guys.

On tap at Micro Bar in Reykjavik, Iceland. Served in a tumbler glass.

Pours a mildly cloudy straw yellow-copper body, one finger white head, good retention, nice lacing. Smells of wheat, lactic acid, touch of yogurt, even a tiny bit of salt. Suspiciously much like Westbrook's version. Flavour is a bit of lemon, lactic acid, Berliner-type wheat, touch of salt, yogurt. Tartness is moderately lactic with a nice punch to it, a bit of that Sweetarts bite going on. This was a pleasant surprise. Mouthfeel is lighter bodied, crisp, plenty of tartness to make this drinker happy, good depth and balance, easy to drink. A great take on the Gose, more on the Westbrook vein than Leipzeiger. I thought this one was done quite well.
