Description:
Breezy, fresh and invigorating. As the saying goes, it’s “cool as a cucumber”, but that’s something quite unexpected when it comes to beer. We began with the brisk yet flavorful German Gose style, brewed with salt and coriander for a slightly tart sparkling taste and hint of pepper. But for a lighthearted twist we added a hint of cucumber creating a crisp, fresh brew. (Description provided by company)

Comments
A Safe Gose
Totally clear golden yellow with a white and bubbly head. The head starts off fairly full, but dissipating quickly to a thin film.
Right off the bat, the slightly tart nose just screams 'refreshing' - almost like lemonade. A bit of citrus and a crisp malt make there way through the aroma as well. The tartness is, overall, moderate and a subtly grassy hop and a crisp and biscuity malt make the flavors quite balanced. A crisp, clean finish help to round out a very refreshing beer for the summer.
Nothing super crazy flavor wise, but this is a nice intro in a style that seems to be getting more and more traction lately - the gose!
