Devils Backbone Cran-Gose launches in cans

Devils Backbone Cran-Gose is the newest can in the brewery’s lineup.

Brewed with hundreds of pounds of pureed cranberry, Devils Backbone Cran-Gose is a tart cranberry ale that finishes at 4% alcohol by volume.

“A gose is an old Germanic style sour ale, lightly flavored with salt that creates a tart taste with subtle citrus notes and a slightly salty mouthfeel. It’s a really great base to build upon and for this beer, we added hundreds of pounds of pureed cranberry. The natural tartness of cranberry works well with the fruity character of the beer,” said Brewmaster Jason Oliver.

Devils Backbone Cran-Gose is a 12 ounce can offering, part of the brewery’s 2016 Daypack Series.

Style: Gose (w/ Cranberry)
