Salty Melon Gose

The Gose beer has been around since 14th century. It originated in East Germany in the town of Goslar. Traditionally this slightly sour, slightly salty beer was brewed using salt, coriander seed and enjoyed with a fruit Schnapps. With this in mind our head brewer Joel Cook decided to take this ancient beer and put his own twist on it. Joel had the idea of adding fresh seasonal rockmelon to this beer post fermentation. Old Salty Rockmelon is the perfect summer beer. Balanced flavours of fruit and salt that finish dry,sour and crisp on the palate. Willie the Boatman’s Old Salty Rockmelon has very little bitterness at 10 IBUs and an ABV of 4.5%. 20 kilos of Rockmelon is added to the beer post fermentation in the conditioning tank just hours before the beer is kegged or bottled. This process ensures that the fresh flavours are saved for the drinker to savour.
