Schmetterling Gose is a modern interpretation of an ancient top fermented saline sour ale native to Saxony. Local Option Bierwerker took the task of reviving this unique style that disappeared during the early part of the 20th century. True to its antecedent, Schmetterling Gose is brewed with equal parts malted wheat and barley; seasoned with black lava salt, coriander, and hops; and fermented with yeast and lactobacillus. Light bodied, highly carbonated, pale in color, with a subtle aroma of spice and citrus and a dry, crisp, refreshing finish, Schmetterling Gose is ideal in summer months but appreciable year round.

Keg at Cask Pub & Kitchen. It pours clear gold with a medium white head. The nose is sweet lemon, biscuit, wheat, grain, herb and barnyard. The taste is biscuit, cheesecake, herbal, lemon peel, dough and just a touch of sourness with a dry finish. Light-medium body and fine carbonation. Not sour enough for a man like myself and bit too much cheesecake.

The Sampler, Brooklyn tap: Pours hazy, dirty yellow with a white head. Aroma is lemon, a bit of sourness, and a tad of the funk. Taste is slightly sour and a wee bit salty as would be expected. Small amount of funk that is just about right. This is a simple gose, but a good one.

(Draught at Söernes Ölbar, Copenhagen, 12 July 2013) Golden colour with frothy, white head. Fruity, sourish nose with notes of citrus, lemon peel, coriander and white bread. Fruity, slightly tart taste with citrus, bread, gooseberries, grass, coriander and a touch of salt emerging on the lips after a while. Medium body, with a touch of sweetness and hardly any bitterness. Different, but quite enjoyable.
