500 ml bottle into tulip glass, no bottle dating. Pours lightly hazy deep golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of tart lemon, lime, green apple, white grape, coriander, spruce, pepper, clove, sea salt, wheat, cracker, toasted bread, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/earthy/spicy yeast, salt/spice, and bready malt notes; with good strength. Taste of tart/tangy lemon, lime, green apple, white grape, coriander, spruce, pepper, clove, sea salt, wheat, cracker, toasted bread, grass, and herbal/yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal/piney bitterness and yeast spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of lemon, lime, green apple, white grape, coriander, spruce, pepper, clove, sea salt, cracker, toasted bread, and herbal/yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruity/earthy/spicy yeast, salt/spice, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/spice/tartness balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, dry, fairly sticky, and lightly saline/bready/acidic mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is very well hidden with zero warming present after the finish as expected of 5%. Overall this is a damn nice spruce spiced Gose style. All around great robustness, complexity, and balance of fruity/earthy/spicy yeast, salt/spice, and bready malt flavors; with a very smooth and crisp to drink with the very well balanced mouthfeel. A very enjoyable offering.

0.5 l bottle from Rudat as "Freigeist Geisterzug Spruced Traditional Gose" (the back label confusingly but probably mistakenly speaks of Geisterzug Quince, added with rhubarb!?). Hazy, apricot with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, white head. Faint, sourish-citrusy aroma of lemon peel, rhubarb and gooseberry with hints of coriander. Sourish, citrusy-yeasty taste of lemon peel, gooseberry, peach and notes of coriander, followed by a tart, yeasty and maybe minimally salty finish with notes of spruce tips. Medium body, slightly effervescent and light astringent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Nice Gose without unnecessary experiments. Actually not that easy to drink but quite refreshing. Okay.

Bottle, as Freigeist Spruced Gose. Pours slight hazy golden, large white head that dissipates slowly and leaves nice lacing. Aroma is wheat, coriander, pine. Flavor is light tart, light bitter, too much coriander, pine/spruce notes are a bit odd. Little salt apparent. Light body, Not terrible.
