[Magic Rock Brewing's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magic-spoon-protein-oatmeal) Salty Kiss is a [gooseberry-infused gose beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/citrus-sea-ipa). The brewery is located in the heart of Huddersfield, West Yorkshire and is inspired by "local brewing traditions and the vibrant US craft beer scene."

Salty Kiss is a gose that was first brewed in partnership with Kissmeyer Beer and is known for its salty aftertaste. Because of this, the unique blend is easy to pair with a variety of savory dishes.

The German-inspired beer blend has a mildly sour flavor profile and is infused with fruit, sea buckthorn and [sea salt ingredients](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/monkey-47-distillers-cut-2025) that add to its signature taste. The beer boasts a 4.1% alcohol count and is a certified vegan product that is only sold in cans or kegs.
