Left Handed Giant brewing – Forever Buzzing, Fruited Gose (5.5% ABV)

Welcome Back to the Eternal Hoptimist.

Today we are looking at our final beer of our Everything must Gose segment of 2023. We will of course be re-visiting the style throughout the year, but we will wait until the weather gets a smidge warmer!

1. Name : Forever Buzzing

2. Brewery: Left Handed Giant Brewing (Bristol)

3. Hops :  N/A

4. Grain :  Barley & Wheat

5. Aroma :  Strong aroma of sour blackberries and mixed autumnal fruits.

6. Appearance : Opaque strawberry Jam, with a tight pink head when poured.

7. Body : Full bodied almost Jam like, with ok carbonation but poor head retention.

8. Taste :  Slightly sour blackberry jam, with a hit of berry, which draws into a dry bitterness to finish.

This one was very pleasing, not too sour, but very moreish, and incredibly fruity. I was more akin to a blackberry smoothie than a beer but it lacked the thirst quenching finish. I can imagine this one would be cracking on a summers eve!

Our overall rating: 3.5/ 5.0
