Gose is a rarely brewed regional specialty beer from Northern Germany. A slightly sour ale, it is known for its use of coriander and a unique saltiness that is derived from the local water source. Our first batch of Gose was brewed on a 7 bbl system with our friends at Odell Brewing Company. The recipe is the same now as it was then: a high percentage of malted wheat, acidulated malt to lower pH and impart a subtle sour character, with fresh ground coriander and crystal salt to finish the boil. As a twist on the original German brews, whole limes were pureed and added to the beer after fermentation. The result is a delightfully tart and most refreshing tipple, a perfect beer for a Texas celebration. Thank you to our friends in Colorado for sharing in this creation; thank you to our friends here at home for enjoying it with us after 18 years.

Keg at Drink of Ages. It pours lightly hazy,y golden with a small white head. The aroma is fresh, soft sweetness, lemon - lime, toasted grain, bit of farmyard and a touch of smoked cheese. The taste is smooth, subdued tartness, lemony action, lime, lactic aspect, yoghurt, toasted grain, cereal and white grape with a dryish finish. Light body and low/soft carbonation. Was hoping for a bit more oomph... Not a whole lot going down.

Can in trade from blutt59, thanks for the opportunity! Slightly hazy deep yellow with a small bubbly white head that fades quickly. Smells like salty limeade. The flavor is lime and lemony with a hint of spice and lots of saline. I’m missing the lactic tartness that should be here. Decent tasting but not what I was expecting.

EXPLODED CAN!!! Hazy golden coloured body with a fast-dying white head, about a single centimetre tall. Aroma of yeast, sour grapes, light wheat, grass and a good deal of tart cherries - very nice. Light to Medium-bodied; Assertive tart and sour notes coupled with some smooth yeast and wheat, finishing with a little grass and herbal notes. Aftertaste shows a little sweetness, but a pure and smooth wheat flavour that goes down easy and has a good deal of tartness and a touch of saltiness. Overall, a nice gose with some good flavours, a nice profile and some smooth complexity at the end. Would have been even better had the can not exploded on me, but as I was moving some beers, I saw a can on top of this one that was askew, so I moved the other can, lifted this one up, and it exploded in my hand - luckily, no injury or shrapnel - just the top popped, scared me, but didn’t cut me even. I sampled this twelve ounce can purchased from Spec’s Liqour in Dallas, Texas on 01-September-2015 for US$8,41/six pack, sampled at home in Washington on 23-December-2015, less than four months after purchasing it and storing it at room temperature.

Sample at Ale Alpharetta, from Dave. Slightly hazy yellow, with no real head. Big nose of ginger, lemon juice, and salt. Mildly sweet, salty, and a little tart. Light, smooth, and a touch sticky. Very easy, smooth, and clean. Worth drinking lots of this!
