Hop BroToday’s topic is the guest pour at Taru Taru in Kawaramachi, Takamatsu: SETOUCHI MINT GOSE from SETOUCHI BEER.
MugiWait, mint in beer? Doesn’t that risk tasting like toothpaste? For a guest beer, that is wildly bold!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. It’s a contemporary gose, basically a modern take on a sour-and-salty classic style.
MugiGose already sounds like a magic spell. What does contemporary gose actually taste like?
Hop BroThink bright acidity, a savory touch of sea salt, and then a minty finish that slips through at the end. Total hot-weather beer.
MugiWhoa, sour and salty and cool at the same time? My brain is doing cartwheels. Calling it perfect for hot weather is unfairly persuasive!
Hop BroAnd the build is precise: the base uses Pilsner malt, with wheat added to make the mouthfeel smoother.
MugiHold on, Pilsner what now? If there’s wheat too, this is starting to sound like a liquid bakery.
Hop BroNot a bakery, just a clean malt backbone. Then the mint goes in during the boil and after fermentation, a two-stage mint addition with Kagawa salt for depth.
MugiWhat is that, mint playing both halves of the match? Finding that kind of Setouchi personality at Taru Taru is way too tempting!
Hop BroIt also sits at 5.0% ABV, so it’s not too heavy and works perfectly as an easy pint in Kawaramachi.
MugiThat settles it. Sour, salty, minty, and breezy, this super refreshing pint has both of us wanting one right now!
