    Good morning.

    Stigbergets Bryggeri (Gothenburg, SVE) - FLAMINGO JUICE - Fruit Gose (3.5%).


    33cl can (€5 from the pub fridge).
    On the label it's defined as "Mango Pepper Gose", but to me it seemed almost a hybrid between a Fruit Gose and a Kettle Sour, with the use of lactobacilli to "sour" the must which creates a slightly acidic/sour sensation different from salt intake.
    In addition to coriander, black pepper was also used, while the light body is attributable to the large percentage of wheat used alongside the Pils malt.
    But the most characterizing ingredient is certainly the mango pulp.
    Already on the nose, as soon as it is poured, it produces an intense aroma of tropical fruit juice: sweet notes of mango, passion fruit, maracuja, with a light note of lactic acid reminiscent of yogurt.
    Orange colour, foam present but of minimal consistency.
    In the mouth, a very light-bodied beer that invades the palate with this taste of mango juice, with a light lactic astringency from which slightly spicy notes emerge (I notice the coriander, but honestly not the pepper) and cereals.
    The drink is short, the lactic astringency is minimal. A taste of mango yogurt remains on the palate, while the tongue is cleansed by that very light acidic note that takes away a bit of fruity flavor from the tongue.
    I didn't find the appropriate salt except for that slightly spicy aftertaste after the lactic acid note.
    Carefree beer, extremely quick to drink, refreshing enough for those who love quenching their thirst with beers of this kind, not "wrong", on the contrary, even pleasant in the right context, but another example of an artisanal product designed for widespread consumption to the detriment of a real recognizable identity.

    This is an interesting one. For the BA's who like Belgian Style White Weat-containing beers anyway.
    The independent, small Brewery, Gulpener from Limburg Holland, managed to succesfully produce with a Belgian Style White, called Gulpener Korenwolf for the past 2 decaded. It was not very special, but it could compete with Hoegaarden, Blanche de Namur, or La Blanche of Brasserie Mont Blanc and alikes. They got some popularity.

    This year the guys from Gulpener took it a step further now and split off a seperate brand with a little different styled Belgian white, Different label, trying to be cool and trendy, and refubished their beer to a stronger, more complex version, including elderflower and now boasting an untypical 6% abv.

    Interesting beer, certainly nothing bad there and probably well branded with the cool hamster, if you like those things, but a Belgian white with 6% abv, does not work quite well for me yet.

    Somthing strange happening there. But nice:

    G'day all!

    I bought a 12pack of mixed IPAs from Deschutes. They were all packaged late April and tasting fine. I dig the citrus/grapefruit in this one.

    Prost!

    Maplewood The Charlatan APA - 10 Year Anniversary release (Warrior, Simcoe, Centennial, Citra). This is the old school recipe of their flagship APA made for their 10th anniversary. I remember having this back in the day, so this is an awesome blast from the past. Bready, slight biscuit, and caramel malt backbone to balance out the navel orange, grapefruit, citrus peel, floral, dank, and pine resin of the hops. Love it!

    Watching Presumed Innocent with my wife. Not happy with the changes that have been made, but maybe it'll get better.

    Hop Butcher/Perennial Thoroughly New IPA (Chinook, Citra, Mosaic, Strata). Loving the juicy, yet dry character on this one. Pineapple, ripe mango, cara cara orange, lychee, ruby red grapefruit, some lime, slight strawberry, some bubblegum, grapefruit and mango peel, pine. A solid bitterness. Thoroughly enjoy this one.
