"Smoked apricot gose ale." 4.4% ABV.
Has a marvelous smoked malt/Weyermann rauch malt character to it and the lactic sourness coupled with the soft faint apricot help cushion it, preventing it from tasting ashy or harsh. Has just the right level of acidity and its soft wheat backbone brings the perfect level of sweetness in tandem with 2-row pale malt.
I'd bet on beechwood judging by the relative neutrality of the smoked malt character.
A bit smacky on the palate. Refreshing, smooth, wet, light to medium-bodied, coating. Well carbonated.
I'm blown away how much flavour they packed into this 4.4% ABV beer, but it's impeccably balanced at the same time.
I do wish it had more saltiness...some sel noir flavour would be welcome. True to style, there isn't any overt hop flavour.
Ludicrously drinkable. A superb smoked beer with gose-like leanings but no true saltiness. Marries German tradition with outlandish American brewing to good effect, breaking the reinheitsgebot with apricot additions but borrowing heavily from rauchbiere and gosenbiere. The result is a damned drinkable hybrid of styles. Sure, it could commit to more interesting wood for its smoke and could dial up the salt in order to be truly top tier, and I think more apricots in the fermenter could only help, but for my money this is easily one of the best beers I've tried from any brewery in Louisiana and I reckon it's Brieux Carré's finest.
