Sudwerk Brewing Co. Farmer's Market Citrus Gose Lager
What the brewers say
“The Farmer’s Market Citrus Gose Lager is a little sweet, a little salty, and a ray of citrus sunshine; this gose-style lager is brewed with fresh navel oranges from Rainwater Ranch in Winters, California.”
What our panel thought
Aroma: “Medium lemon, tangerine, and orange aroma that is somewhat subtle. Slight acidity is noticeable as it warms. Touch of sweetness. Slight, almost passion fruit, juiciness is present.”
Flavor: “Bright orange and tangerine notes dominate up front with a touch of lime. An interesting but subtle saltiness appears in the middle but transitions into a somewhat bitter finish that lingers until the next sip. Bright acidity is present up front. Carbonation carries the beer well.”
Overall: “Big citrus beer with a light acidity and touch of salt. The beer itself was a bit sweeter than expected with not quite enough acidity to make it taste like a beermosa. Nice, light and refreshing—I would definitely drink this with breakfast on a lazy Sunday.”
