613. Kismetic Beer Company (Indianapolis, IN) - Watermelon Mint Gose

“Our take on a gose-style kettle sour, with additions of pink sea salt, and both cold and hot steepings of Nelson’s Tea Watermelon Mint rooibos blend. Notes of mint and tropical fruit on the nose, sour and herbal, salty and refreshing.”

Moderate flavor of herbal mint up front, with just a hint of watermelon, and a light sour taste. As the beer warms, the watermelon flavor becomes a little more pronounced and the mint gets a bit lighter. Sours are definitely one of Ryan’s strong suits, and this one might well be the best of the lot.
