This was a split batch. We created a five gallon batch. Then we put salt and coriander on half of it to create a Gose. We took the other half and put four pounds of raspberry puree on it to create a raspberry sour (see Blowing Raspberries).
This really isn’t our style. We created it for competition and to meet a new category requirement for the Master Homebrewer Program. The beer is drinkable, but it is pretty sour. I think it will get better with age.
Update: This brew took third place at the 2023 Boneyard Brew-off in Illinois. It took first place at the Alamo City Cerveza fest. It scored a 40 in both competitions.
