In my grumpy rant against these fruit smoothie "beers" I asked myself why this? Well it's got a sweet fruit aroma with a lovely balance of sweet, tart & sour with a beery finish. Very lambic!

For me the exception to these bizarre fruit concoctions is a Ukrainian Tomato Gose - I had one at the Bruges beer festival called Traumato and it was delicious but tho tomatoey it still retained some beeriness!

01.12.2025 14:24 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Agreed! I am a keen home brewer and I do like using fruit as an adjunct. But for a beer I aim for a dry tart influence with fruit aroma. Not a sweet fruit smoothie.
01.12.2025 10:54 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I was grumpy yesterday but my view still stands. If you were ordering this in a juice/smoothie bar in California for breakfast then it would be interesting. If you actually want a decent Gose then it's awful. Every component is overdone and it's just no longer a beer.

I have "absolutely zero" expectations from the Newcastle V Man City game even if it is at home! I prefer my pessimism to be confounded rather than optimism disappointed. So many clear chances not taken so far.

We tasted it in Jacky Blot's house in Montlouis. Sadly he died in 2023.
22.11.2025 09:49 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0I bought this Montlouis Triple Zรฉro in 2013 with my Mum. Accidentally kept for far too long, on opening it was very slightly petillant (age + bottled at 3 atmospheres). The 2-3 yrs on lees has given it a lovely rich caramel dryness like a vintage Veuve so different from when young. Gorgeous mistake
22.11.2025 09:49 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Decent Gose. Ever so slightly salty moderating the bitterness, good fruit acidity with lovely raspberry flavour. Light bodied so really drinkable. Avoids the traps of being xs sour or banging in loads of oats and/or lactose to turn it into a pudding beer.

A pale ale with some gorgeous accents of verveine & camomile and pronounced peppery nose. Perfect dry bitter finish. Genius!
