Goses are Red
The Bruery - Placentia, CA
Gose-style ale with Syrah grapes aged in oak foeders
Format: pint can
ABV: 5.6%
From the brewer: "This is a rosé - and a gose - by any other name. Goses are Red is a stylish funky, crisp and tart gose ale inspired by the soft sweetness of a rosé wine. The refreshing wheat-based ale begins with some of the qualities you’d expect from a gose, including coriander spicing and a light saltiness to complement the tartness imparted by our house cultures. But the story doesn’t end there - it builds in complexity, thanks to time spent in an oak foeder and the addition of grapes, which impart a refreshing character and color."
Gose/sours are really hit or miss for me. I've enjoyed the fruited sours I've had recently, but here all I really got was the tartness without much else. I've still got 3 left try, so we'll see if anything changes with the next one. This may just not be my style.
