Jetty Road Blueberry Gose

It would appear Jetty Road's head brewer Blake Bowden has deservedly developed some confidence in his brewing ability over his years of brewing both at home and commercially. This beer is proof of that: it was his first ever brew of a fruit sour and he went straight in with a 2,500 litre batch...

Add to the batch, in the fermenter, was 400kg of aseptic puréed blueberries which lend the beer it's clear blush appearance. There's some berry-tinged sweetness and a little sprightly zest on the nose, while the balance of sour and salt tips in favour of the former, with the blueberries contributing some gentle fruit flavours too. Wrapped up with a cleansing tang and just a faint lick of salt, it sits in territory marked brisk and refreshing.
