Alte Schule

Описание

Alte Schule is a traditional German gose brewed with my homebrewing friend and colleague Michel Herde, who just happens to be German. The beer was brewed with pilsner malt, German wheat malt and a touch of German beech-smoked malt, drawing on Michel’s experience with smoked malt in German beers such as Rauchbier. We chose a smoked malt to mimic the hint of smokiness that was likely imparted on old world beers by traditional wood-fired malt kilns. It was fermented with a mixed culture of German kolsch yeast and lactobacillus, finished with lemon zest and then keg conditioned. Alte Schule displays a bright and punchy acidity with layers of citrus and a savoury hint of wood fire and smoke. Prost!
