We’re thrilled to announce the third iteration of the Pastry Ale series is on its way!
WHAT’S A PASTRY ALE?
The beers in the Pastry Ale series are inspired by our Gose ale, a sour style beer. Our traditional Gose is tart and fruity with refreshing, bright flavors that compliment the sour kick you get with each sip. The tartness comes mostly from Sour Patch Kids (not really), but also from Sour Pitch, a lactic acid bacteria we add in the kettle, which brings characteristics not just of tartness, but also citrus and green apple.
We started fruiting our Gose during fermentation to highlight its tart and sometimes sweet fruit flavors. The Gose’s low pH creates a crisper, sharper flavor than other styles, which in combination with low bitterness and unique tartness, lend this style well to fruit additions.
Unlike previous iterations of the Pastry Ale series, we did not include lactose sugar in this recipe. Instead, we chose to let the 25 pounds per barrel of pineapple to speak for itself. There is a hint of vanilla to help tease out the pineapple flavors.
HAVEN’T I SEEN THIS BEFORE?
We released the Wildberry Milkshake Sour in February and the Mango Milkshake Sour in April with the same can design. We update the design colors with each new recipe so you can keep your Untappd checkins all sorted out.
OFFICIAL BEER DESCRIPTION:
Our tart Gose brewed with loads of sweet, fresh pineapples (25 lbs/bbl to be exact). It tastes like a slice of super-fresh pineapple upside down cake in the summer. 5.5% ABV // 20 IBUs
