Hop BroWay to go, MAHOWBREW in Okinawa! In the Untappd Community Awards, they took all three spots from first to third in the "Sour - Fruited Gose" category.
MugiWhat? Sweeping the Top 3? Was MAHOWBREW the only one there at the event venue?
Hop BroNo, these are ratings from users all over the world. Gold was "Juliet," Silver was "Ophelia," and Bronze was "Cordelia." Completing gold, silver, and bronze in the same category is seriously impressive.
MugiWow! Even the names sound literary and strong! So what does "Sour - Fruited Gose" actually taste like?
Hop BroGose is a sour style with a light salty note and acidity. Add fruit on top of that, and it becomes juicy with a crisp finish. When the acid profile is well designed, the aftertaste feels more layered.
MugiAcid profile!? Now it sounds like a science class! My tongue is not ready to feel layers yet!
Hop BroTo put it simply, it's not just "sour" - it means the brewery does a great job of creating a flow from fruity freshness to salt-driven crispness to "one more sip." The overall quality of the lineup is what got recognized.
MugiOhhh! And it's a brewery in Tsuboya, Naha, right? It feels connected to the local craft culture, which is kind of exciting...!
Hop BroExactly. MAHOWBREW is based in Tsuboya and obtained its production license on June 24, 2024. They've built things up with a focus on craftsmanship, and that led to this result.
MugiI want to drink them already! Ophelia and Juliet are available in stores and online, right? Tonight is officially an award-beer tasting party!
