WeldWerks Brewing Co. Double Passion Fruit Gose
What the brewers say
“We used more than double the amount of fruit compared to our other kettle sours, lending a ripe, almost funky passion-fruit flavor that is a perfect complement to the dry finish, acidity, and subtle salinity of the base beer.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Big passion-fruit aroma with some notes of pineapple and mango. Slight malt sweetness at the very back. Very juicy with notes of tropical fruit. A little lemon, slightly tart.”
Flavor: “Passion fruit dominates, but there are some mango notes. Saltiness comes through on the back, bringing together the fruit and adding complexity. Rather dry on the finish. Tartness is just light of making the mouth pucker. Finishes refreshing.”
Overall: “The passion fruit comes through, and there’s a decent malt backbone with moderate acidity and a light dusting of salt. Slight mango and malt sweetness provide some complexity. This has some bold flavors for a kettle sour with a more intense tartness. The sweetness helps to cut through, and this beer is refreshing. Good after a slow meandering bike ride.”
