Originally brewed as a collaboration with Kissmeyer Beer, this is our take on a traditional German style Gose, flavoured with fruit, sea buckthorn and sea salt. Tart, lightly sour, fruity and refreshing with a defined saltiness makes this beer an excellent accompaniment to food.

Gose with gooseberries from this renowned American style English craft brewer, thanks Craftmember for sharing the can. Snow white, loose head quickly reduced to a moussy, thin ring over a hazy peach-hued orange blonde beer. Aroma of (strong) green gooseberries, sweet gherkins, fresh spring onions, lime juice, sorrel leaves, sourdough. Crisp onset, indeed a lot of gooseberry but again in a ‘green’, nearly unripe kind of way, tart and rhubarb- and sour apple-like, fizzy carb, supple sourdoughy and bit soapy (wheat!) malt basis. A salty edge appears somewhere in the middle but remains faint and short-lived; the gooseberry acidity and lactic tartness dominate and dry the finish, in a very refreshing, juicy way. I would not have minded one more pinch of salt personally, but this is in all respects a classy, well-made, crisp and quenching modern sour.

Pours very hszy orange golden, topped with very thin white head, very nonlasting. Some gentle sweet fruity nose covered by rubbery, algae presence, somewhat smelly. Gentle puckery sourness, very frush with a hint of bitterness. Gentler aftertaste that leaves very solid salty feel. Lighter and fresh body.

On tap at The Wolf, pours a cloudy yellowish blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out fresh citrus notes upfront, with light salt and plenty of lacto. Flavour is along the same lines, with bright citrus upfront, followed by a touch of salt and lots of lacto. Fresh and citrusy. Solid stuff.

Keg at Brewdog Reading. Opaque yellow with a wisp of white atop it. Lemon and sweet gooseberry pie with a light hint of salt. Not much tartness here, in fact it's got a very smooth mouthfeel. Unchallenging but easy-drinking and pleasant; a bit of an entry level gose. Which no doubt is what the brewer was going for, and why this beer had become relatively mass-market by the standards of the style.
