TANGERINE GOSE
FRUITED GOSE
5.5% ABV | 7 IBU
ON TAP IN: Missoula, MT
A traditional kettle soured wheat beer with sea salt, coriander and tangerine puree.
The tart character of this table beer comes from inoculation with Lactobacillus in the kettle, allowed to drop the pH for 24 hours, producing a high level of lactic acid and a pH of 3.15. The bacteria is then killed by boiling, locking in the sourness. Bittering hops are added, then coriander and sea salt to add the impression of body to the very dry mouthfeel.
Available at our Missoula location.
