Sobremesa - Gogol Hoppy Brett Ale
"This is a beer that is close to our hearts. A homage to the Belgian breweries that really shaped Sobremesa's focus down the path of brettanomyces and bitterness.
Brewed with 100% Australian grown grains from Voyager Craft Malt (NSW).This is a 60 | 40 blend of:
Stainless brett. saison (5 months old) - 60%
Brett. saison fermented in a puncheon (9 months old) - 40%
The goal with the blend was similar to a bière de coupage. We wanted freshness and vibrancy from the stainless saison and a light brett. derived funk from the puncheon. We transferred the blend to stainless & dry hopped w/ Challenger (UK) & Saaz (CZ) at the rate of 2.6g/L for 72 hours prior to packaging. Packaged on September 19th 2024 and naturally conditioned in can for 6 weeks.
Aromas of cantaloupe, orange peel & fresh oregano. The funk is leant towards the tropical range of the spectrum. On the palate there is lot's of peach & white flowers up front. This gives way to stewed fruits towards the back. Quite textural with a bitterness that is assertive but moreish.
An approachable brett. beer for the people." -Sobremesa
