Пиво Meteoro Kyrö BA - Tanker, Totenhopfen Brauhaus

Imperial gose, brewed with rye, infusion of juniper branches and loads of fresh juniper berries in the mash. Beautiful rye gose as a base, fluffy and sweet feeling, estonian ryebread, tart but not acidic with enough of the salt to really give it a briny edge. The flavors here arent subtle at all, its intensely flavored. The juniper is strong and the salt dries it all up fast in the finish. Rye gives an nice sweetness. Just a little pucker at the end, a spruce and wood note from juniper branches. On top of it all, it is matured 1.5 years in the Kyrö gin barrels. Why Meteoro, rye and junipers? Because Saaremaa, Estonian biggest island is famous for Kaali kraater. Kaali is a group of nine meteorite craters in the village of Kaali in Saaremaa. Most estimates put its formation shortly after 1530-1450 BC. It was created by an impact event and it is on of the few inplct events that has ocurred in a populated area. In Saaremaa they make the best homemade sourdough ryebread, dark, with nice crust, malty and even bit sweet.
