Gose Like Swayze
Territorial Brewing Company

 

 

Nailed it! Best Gose I've had. And no pesky fruit adjuncts. Way to go. It's one of my favorites from them.

This was my final beer in my flight during a recent trip to Territorial, and also my very first Gose, so I was very excited to try this one. This beer features a very light straw color along with an ultra clear clarity. The head is a bright white in color and dissipates rather quickly to nothing. The carbonation appears to be very high with large bubbles racing toward the top. 4/5 The aroma is almost like a lemon-lime soda but with a bit of agave. There is some sea salt to the aroma, giving it a bit of savory profile, but only lightly. Sourdough bread comes out a bit as well, highlighting the sour nature of this beer. 4/5 As expected this beer is fairly sour with tart lemon and lime juices coming out very strongly along with a bit of grapefruit pulp. A light sourdough breadiness comes out after the lemon and lime, allowing the malt to show through. There is a very light sweetness of clover honey that peeks through, about the same time that a light coriander pepperiness comes through as well. The sourness lingers lightly on the palate after swallowing. 3.75/5 This beer feels very clean and is very light in nature, allowing for it to easily be sessionable. Crisp throughout with only light carbonation and virtually no dryness. 4/5 Very sessionable beer, ideal for a hot day. Drinks almost like a Sprite, just way more flavorful and tart. 4/5
