Passion Fruit Gose from the East Village’s Mission Brewery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

From the Beer Writer:\u00a0<\/strong>There are a number of fruits I have always thought to be perfectly suited\u00a0as flavor-enhancers for sour beers:\u00a0pineapple, apricot, Meyer lemon (a sweeter variety of this citrus fruit). But\u00a0my hands-down pick for the most pucker-ready produce is passion fruit. With sometimes bracing, citric tartness, just a touch of earthy sweetness and even a bit of natural funk, the flesh of the fruit tastes like a sour ale all on its own. In fact, I find myself describing a number of sours as tasting like passion fruit. It would seem the brew-crew at\u00a0Mission Brewery<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>agrees. Their current limited-edition seasonal release is\u00a0Mission Passion Fruit Gose<\/strong>, a salted, kettle-soured ale of Germanic descent given added fruitiness by passion fruit added during primary fermentation. The result is an intensely tropical beer that comes on strong with a burst of salinity that gives way to flavors of passion fruit with a touch of lemongrass and the aforementioned mild-funk in the finish. Logical\u00a0and lacking complication, it\u2019s a beer that tastes good and goes down easy in large quantities.<\/p>\n

From the Brewer: <\/strong>\u201cIn spring of 2016 we started brewing one-off kettle sours fairly frequently for the tasting room.\u00a0 In doing so, we experimented with a couple different fruit pur\u00e9es and really enjoyed how the subtle fruit character played off the \u2018sour\u2019 flavors we were getting from the lactobacillus. After finding a limited supply of passion fruit pur\u00e9e, we knew it would be a winner in one of these kettle sours. Passion fruit has a certain funk to its flavor-profile, and certainly meshed well in this beer.\u201d\u2014<\/em>John Egan, Head Brewer, Mission Brewery<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
