La Vida Gose #7 (Plums Blueberries & Cherries)
Charles Towne Fermentory

Pours purple with a one inch light pink head that left almost no lacing. Smells of cherries, plums and.mild lactic acid sourness. Tastes of tart cherries, plums, blueberries, blackberries, mild tartness, mild lactic acid sourness. Light to medium bodied, lightly carbonated, dry mouth feel.

Received in a trade and shared with JLindros.

A - Poured into a Kate the Great tulip a nice hazy plum purple hue with a thick pinkish white head that fades to leave light wisps.

S - Aromas of really bright cherries and plums. Tons of blueberries and sweet tartness. I do sadly get a huge buttery oak, which can only mean one thing: diacetyl.

T - Taste is similar to the nose with loads of buttery diacetyl. Incredibly unfortunate. The fruits are pleasant, good plums and cherries, light tartness and sweet berries.

M - Mouthfeel is lightly carbonated, really astringent, tons of diacetyl flemmy slickness as well.

O - Overall this was a really underwhelming beer. Tons of diacetyl here ruins the beer, which is a shame because the fruits are really nice.

Serving Type: can

Light pink foamy semi dense head, medium retention, light lacing, dark very hazy opaque purple auburn color

Nose loads of fruit, plum, cherry, blueberry all there , very berry fruit but also quite tart, lactic acid, little sour lacto and hint spice, a little buttery diacetyl

Taste big tart fruit, all berries, plum, blueberry, cherry, tasty lactic acid tart yogurt, then a ton of buttery popcorn diacetyl unfortunately, especially late, little flemmy, dry flemmy acidic finish, lingering diacetyl and tart berry fruit, dry gritty astringent finish

Mouth is med bod, medium carb, slick diacetyl, light acidity, little astringent

Overall the fruit was great but diacetyl and light astringency was really sad
