4.9% abv – Salsus is our interpretation of a rustic Gose. It is triple decocted & brewed using wheat, spelt & barley malt. We use a touch of French Grey Sea Salt & spice it with coriander & pink peppercorns. Unboiled, the beer then sits in the coolship overnight. It is then layered in oak barrels for at least 3 months. No two blends will taste the same! It has been aruged that Gose was historically spontaneously fermented similar to the lambics of Belgium. Honoring this interpretation, we blend in some of our spontaneously fermented ale into Salsus. Once a blend is gone, it is gone forever.
