Hibiscus Gose by Boulevard Brewing company
Hibiscus Gose by Boulevard Brewing company pours a deep cooper color with a subtle hint of pink blended in, most likely from fresh hibiscus flower which is perfectly edible and also makes a very nice tea that tastes a lot like a sweet tart candy. Nice mild head and mild aroma but hard to put my finger on the exact smell although it could be a hint of tartness with a mild saltiness. I was excited to try this as I am a big fan of the hibiscus flower and regularly drink teas with hibiscus in them but sadly this is a bit more of a slightly sour and tart beer with a hint of vinegar a lot like an off kombucha tea with a subtle hint of salt, not bad but far from what I was expecting. Hibiscus Gose by Boulevard Brewing company comes in at a modest 4.2% ABV Gose style and only 11 IBU it is a mild session beer for the Summer months for those who prefer a more sour/tart type of beverage but don’t mind the hint of vinegar.
