Our Leipzig-style Gose is pleasantly acidic with lime-like tartness and a little funk from our unique, indigenous mixed culture kettle souring process, all balanced by the spicy character of added coriander and a mineral-mouthfeel from the addition of hand-harvested French grey sea salt.

Can. Pours cloudy amber, small off white head, dissipates quickly, a bit of lacing. Aroma is lemon, wheat, coriander, floral. Flavor is light tart, lemony wheat, just a touch if coriander, some salt on the finish. Medium light body, prickly carbonation. Nice example of the style.

12oz can. Murky thick orange-tan body. Quick fading head, leaves some soda-like residues. Woah. Big tart lactic tones, probably the sourest Gose I have tried. Biting, a slow sipper like a sharp gueuze. The sour tones are nice, but a little unruly and over-the-top. There is no balance or delicate mouthfeel here, this is a real hardcore sour. The salt adds to the dryness. This is a surprisingly challenging beer. White wine vinegar notes. I find Destihls sours to generally be over-innoculated, and this is a prime example.

What the Funk, October 2014, Denver. Pours a hazy yellow appearance with a white head. The salt is nicely integrated without being overdone like some other Goses. Nice, twangy lemony yogurt flavor. Medium light body. Refreshing and tasty.

Sampled from the tap at the brewery. Pours a clear gold with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has notes of tropical fruit and yogurt with a bit of wheat underlying. Flavor is much more sour with some lemon, yogurt and an earthy wheat underlying.
