First is another one of Daniel’s small batch kettle sours, Holy Gose. This one is a nice thirst quenching gose with fruit flavours such as apple, peach, and orange zest, with a light saltiness. The 5.4% ABV beer also has orange zest and sea salt that they describe as having moderate sourness, light salty and fruity character (apple, peach & orange zest) and finishing with a refreshing acidity.
The second sour is La Menta, meaning “mint” in Spanish. It was brewed with mint from Tim Fletcher, a local home brewer and beer judge. The beer has a similar idea as the Saison Froide that Daniel made a couple of years ago. The mint brings that unique “cold” or refreshing character to the beer. It is described as apple cider-like with lime and delicate mint flavor and finishes dry with a refreshing acidity at 5.2% ABV.
