Brewed in collaboration with Lervig Aktiebryggeri.
Back in 2016 we had the pleasure of brewing a collaboration with Lervig. Together we brewed North’s first Kettle Sour (3.2%), learning much and being the first collaboration for our brewery.
So we invited them back during Leeds International Beer Festival, to come and brew a Triple Fruited Gose, with blueberry and lingonberry.

Pours a hazy, deep, dark purple coloration with a medium, frothy, pink head. Smell is dominated by milk sugar, with some blueberry and lingonberry also coming through. Taste is dominated by the fruity blueberry and lingonberry notes, in about equal measure, with the lactose thankfully being a bit more in the background and good lactic acidity coming through, as well as just a hint of sea salt in the aftertaste. Finishes with a medium tartness and some blueberry, lingonberry and sea salt lingering in the aftertaste. Full mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
I had a really hard time rating this because while it's a terrible Gose, it's probably a rather good example of what the brewer really intended here, which is basically a fruited milkshake sour. While I'm not a huge fan of the style at all and it does irk me when brewers slap the Gose label on their milkshake sours, fruit slushies or whatever, I have to admit that this rides a rather fine line between lactose sweetness reminiscent of vanilla and lactic acidity that is distinct but not overbearing rather well, with some quite vibrant fruit notes shining through and an excellent mouthfeel. In conclusion, I rated this to the brewer's intended style rather than personal preference and while it's quite a bit too sweet and lactose-driven for my personal taste, it achieves what it sets out to do quite well.
