This Gose-style ale is soured with probiotic bacteria for bright acidity, then a hint of locally harvested sea salt from Big Sur for balance. The base beer is then conditioned on Grapefruit puree.

Had it on draft in a pint glass. Color of cloudy tangerine peel with no head at all. Very light in texture with some fizz on the tongue. Can't even feel or taste the alcohol. Bright citrus aromas with flavors of tart orange, tangerine and grapefruit. Very refreshing.

A: Lots of zesty grapefruit, followed by a moderate sourness and light saltiness.
A: Golden color, hazy, with a thinnish white head that has adequate retention.
T: Big grapefruit flavor upfront, light wheat character, followed by a moderately light zippy sourness and light saltiness.
M: Medium bodied with moderate carbonation and a soft mouth-feel.
O: Tasty; the beer has a great grapefruit flavor that zippy sourness that makes it super refreshing!
