Dogfish Head Super Eight Super Gose

Dogfish Head Super Eight Super Gose. 5.3 % ABV.
Dogfish Head Brewery, Milton, DE.

Slim white head, bright crimson color, slightly hazy.

In the nose: Bright, fresh, & fruity. Very berry. Which ones? Can't saw for sure. Rasp-, black-, straw-? Maybe Mango, guava, some super fruits, knowing these guys. I'm going to the rare thing, for me, and peek ahead.

Huh. I'm glad I read that. A collaboration with Kodak. SuperEIGHT, like the film. Wacky. With eight ingredients:  "prickly pear, mango, boysenberry, blackberry, raspberry, elderberry, kiwi juices, toasted quinoa and an ample addition of red Hawaiian sea salt! Okay, so technically that's nine, but it 'gose' without say that there's going to be salt. "

Okay, let's drink: Tart, salty, juicy, then dry, almost all at once. Quite an experience, this. Let's try it again. Lift glass to lip, then sip: There it is again, all those tasty fruits, the tartness, the salt and then ending dry. Light bodied, swift finish, and easy drinking.

Yeah, I like it. Good stuff, guys.

This sessionable super gose is brewed with eight heroic ingredients: prickly pear, mango, boysenberry, blackberry, raspberry, elderberry, kiwi juices, toasted quinoa and an ample addition of red Hawaiian sea salt! Okay, so technically that's nine, but it 'gose' without say that there's going to be salt. These unique ingredients give this beer a vibrant red color, with delicious flavors of berries and watermelon, along with a tart - yet refreshing - finish.

But that’s not all … it also effectively develops Kodak’s Super 8 film. From the can to the stop bath, there’s a whole lot of science and alternative processing that takes place to bring the imagery to life. And it’s so totally worth it.
