Supplier: Brewdog Dundee Bottledog
Another from To Øl, this is their sour Gose. Like all gose's this is made using salt, but it's also made using California oranges. This one is brewed and bottled at the De Proef Brouweru in Belgium. I served this chilled.

Appearance: Pale and slightly orange, and slightly opaque. The is also a thin but lasting pure white head.
Aroma: Orange and a little funky, maybe my imagination, but it smells a little like the sea.
Flavour: Sour on the front, with some saltiness, then some faint orange notes.
Body: Refreshing, but a little too fizzy.
Aftertaste: The orange notes turn to a more tropical notes, particularly passion fruit. After the sourness, it turns a lot juicier. However, the tropical notes start to fade with drinking
Overall: Therefore this gets a rating of 8, I love sour beers and this is a fine example, with lots of lovely tropical notes that give a sweetness to complement the salt and sour. Would have been a 9 if the tropical notes didn't fade.
Price Range: £3.71 (normally £3.90) for a 500ml can, a great price for a great beer.
Food Pairings: A nice light white risotto.
