Eastlake Kirby Pucker #25 Paloma-style Salted Sour Ale w/ grapefruit & lime

 Eastlake Kirby Pucker #25 Paloma-style Salted Sour Ale w/ grapefruit & lime.

? ABV, 25 IBU, Eastlake Brewery, Minneapolis, MN.


Brightish, yellow color, slim, soon-gone head.

In the nose: Sour. Salt. Grapefruit. There it is.

In the mouth: there it is, the salt, the sour, the grapefruit. Not much else. If that’s all you need, go for it. What else? Lemon...salt (I said that)...Sour (I said that too)...what else do you want? Appare ntly there is more going on than I was initially aware of of, aging on mezcal-soaked ash wood? Didn’t make an impression....sorry...ho hum. 

A modern gose, infused with ruby red, lime and orange zest matured on mezcal-soaked white ash wood
