At first glance, pickles, coconut water, and lemon verbena appear to be a wild mix that doesn’t necessarily combine harmoniously. However, the skilled people in the Orca Brau brewhouse have combined this unlikely trio into an exceptionally drinkable Gose: Cucole. The inspiration for this exceptional beer is a spa weekend: relaxing sauna sessions with fragrant herbal essences, thirst-quenching coconut water, and an invigorating dip in an ice-cold lake. Verbena, coconut water, and pickle broth.
Orca’s wellness drink flows into the glass in a delicate, cloudy lemon yellow, adorned with a mountain of airy white foam. A salty-sour breeze of cucumber mingles with gentle herbal notes on the nose, piqued curiosity about the first sip. Cucole enchants with its feather-light body, a lean 4.5% ABV, and a soft malt base composed of barley and wheat malt. While the cucumber water provides elegant acidity and a hint of salt, the coconut adds a touch of holiday flair. Lemon verbena rounds out the aromatics with its unmistakable combination of fruity citrus freshness and playful herbaceousness. The brew is spicy, floral, herbal, sour, and surprising.
Orcas Cucole is a daring creation that will especially delight the adventurous beer connoisseurs among you.
