About Zenith Grapefruit Gose

Zenith Grapefruit Gose (pronounced Gose-uh) is a traditional German-style sour ale with a touch of coriander and salt.  Our interpretation of this style includes grapefruit, for a refreshing beer, perfect for springtime when the sun re-emerges above our celestial sphere.

About Deimos Imperial Red Ale

Deimos is the outer sibling of the other Martian moon, Phobos.  Brewed with Pale malt and four types of Crystal malts, Deimos Imperial Red Ale is rich with caramel malt flavor.  Simcoe, Nugget, and Columbus hops impart a bold hop flavor and aroma to this pleasingly dense ale.

            Gravity: 16.5°
