DESTIHL Brewery: Wild Sour-Here Gose Nothin

This is the second beer I have tried in DESTIHL's Wild Sour line, there are a total of 7, I have only managed to track down this one and Counter ClockWeisse . Both are of the Sour variety, this one is a Gose,  the other was a Berliner-Weisse, if you want to learn about Weisse and DESTIHL brewery, follow that link as I am not going to go over brewer history this post .

Gose are an old style of German beer from Leipzig, they are unfiltered beer made from 50-60% unfiltered wheat which renders the beer cloudy and yellow and gives it the sourness. In addition spices, salt, and lactic acid, and wild yeast, all combining to give it a unique sour and refreshing flavor.

This particular Gose utilizes lemon, lime, coriander, and salt, which when all combined yield a nice flavor combination. First sip is very sour, but as your taste buds adjust after a few sips it becomes much more flavorful tartness, revealing the citrus-like flavor and aroma. After taste is a salty and spicy flavor that dissipates quickly. The color as you can see is fairly yellow-amber, clear, decently thick head that vanishes almost immediately. Not the easiest beer to drink, but it is very flavorful and enjoyable to most.

It rings in at 5% ABV and 12IBU, price was $2.25 for a can.


Overall I rate this beer a 8/10, would buy again.
