Overtone- Cran Razz, Raspberry & Cranberry Gose (5.5% ABV)

Hi there fellow beer lovers,

Welcome back to the Eternal Hoptimists.

As I have been dubbed the sour king of the Eternal Hoptimists, I was told that our “everything must Gose” section would be right up my street. I cant say I am familiar with the style, but I’m willing to try anything once.

  1. Name: Cran Raz
  2. Brewery: Overtone
  3. Hops: Ariana
  4. Aroma:  Raspberries and mixed red fruits, with a surprising sweetness behind it.
  5. Appearance: Iced Raspberry in colour, no head when poured.
  6. Body:  Full bodied, and with a pretty decent level of carbonation
  7. Taste: A wash of red fruits, with a wall hitting, mouth-watering sourness with a sea salt edge.

Certainly an oddity this one, but a pretty nice one. It reminded me more of a fruit smoothie than a beer, and the salt gave it an interesting and relatively unique flavour. The can does say it has coriander on it, but I must admit I couldn’t detect any.

Our overall rating: 3.5/ 5.0
