It looks like His Royal Meowness has been hitting the Royal Pantry rather hard lately. Actions have to be taken and fast. But sensibly so, as we wouldn't want to offend Him and His most purrrrrfect curvy figure. A few months of healthy, fruit-forward dieting should do the trick, and soon there won't be anymore... kitty door emergencies. And with the single luxury of a modest dollop of lactose on top, just to make the experience a little more persuading. In the meantime, don't you dare mistake His fluffiness for fatness, ok? ^>.

Pours a brown'ish, crimson coloration with a small, foamy head that soon fades to nothing. Smell is dominated by tart and acidic raspberry, with lighter guava and peach also coming through. Taste is a great balance of tart raspberry and sweet peach notes, with some guava also coming through and a good underlying lactic, citric acidity, as well as just a hint of lactose and sea salt. Finishes with a medium tartness and some raspberry and peach lingering in the aftertaste. Full mouthfeel with a medium body and carbonation.
While it irks me when brewers call their fruited Kettle Sours a Gose, this is nevertheless a rather nice example of the former style that has a fresh and natural taste to it, as well as a good balance of sweet and tart notes, with the lactose adding a nice, full mouthfeel without feeling too heavy-handed and adding too much sweetness here. While the colour is perhaps a little off-putting, it's no big deal and this makes for a rather nice and refreshing brew on a hot summer day, with the relatively high ABV not being noticeable at all. Not a Gose though.
