Dogfish Head SeaQuench Ale

Dogfish Head is one of those breweries that just can't get it wrong! I've had this sour mash-up a half dozen times on tap, but this is the first time I've been able to sit down & do a review.

SeaQuench is a combination of three ale styles: The lager-ale hybrid, Kölsch; Gose (both of which I've reviewed recently) and Berliner Weisse, a sour wheat beer that originated in Berlin. It's flavored with sea salt (as befits a gose), lime and black lime (dried lime). Two of the three components are sours, so SeaQuench is quite tart, but balanced by the smoothness of the Kölsch. In addition to the main flavors there's a hint of coriander and white pepper. If you're a sour beer fan, this is one that I'd recommend. 8.5/10 on the IGB Sour Scale.
