Hoppin' Frog King Gose Home
Imperial Gose Ale
When the King was crowned, fans in his home town of Akron were excited and proud! But his departure left a sour taste in their mouths making Akron salty about losing their King, and wanting to forget. Now to honor his return and share these sour and salty feelings, we have brewed a beer to express these feelings in flavor, which was a nearly forgotten style itself! This rare Gose style beer is refreshingly sour and salty, and was nearly forgotten - now it’s making a come-back, and so is our King!

Slightly hazy, pale golden amber with a white head. Sweetish-sourish, spicy aroma of coriander, lemon and some rhubarb. Sourish, spicy taste of coriander, lemon and some rhubarb, followed by a short, slightly tart, spicy, minerally finish. Thin to medium body, smooth and slightly astringent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Okay, a bit too much of coriander.
Golden-wheat colored body, fast head. Aroma of lemonade and violets with a touch of cereal grain behind. Flavor is exactly how I wanted it to be: a grainy backbone, a tart lemon/yeast crescendo, and a finish that is dry, sour and a little salty. It was a combo that made my mouth water AFTER I took each sip. If you’re a fan of the style, this is really addictive. And IMO it would be perfectly suitable Spring, Summer, Winter or Fall. ~~~~ 22 oz. bomber, purchased at the brewery.
