Year of New Beer: Briney Melon Gose, Anderson Valley Brewing (CA)

Written By: Dion on 03/25/2016

I was apprehensive about trying this one, because I hate watermelon. Lucky for me, this seems to be less melon and more Gose. The nose leans toward salty sea air with only faint hints of watermelon and maybe some cantaloupe. The tongue continues the salty theme, as acidic citrus fruits offer some contrast over a bed of damp wheat. I think I like their Kimmie a little more, but this is still very solid for the style.
