Gose and Fruit Beer
This category covers a rather extensive range of flavours from the sweetness of fruit to the slightly salty and sour notes of the gose. They are particularly difficult to do well and I love to taste them blind to see if I can guess the fruit. This task is usually easier said than done. These beers are incredibly refreshing and go perfectly with all summer foods.
