Samuel Adams continues to expand their Small Batch Series in 2012. On the schedule is Verloren, and gose. There aren’t a lot of U.S. brewers making a gose, especially a brewery as large as Boston Beer. That’s probably why they dubbed it “Verloren” or “lost” beer . (It’s Dutch.) The style originated in Goselar, Germany in the 18th century. Gose became very popular the adjacent city of Leipzig, Germany due to a lot of local breweries brewing the style. Gose all but died out during WWII due to brewery closings. Expect this beer to have a touch of sourness, with notes of lemon & salt.

A link to the ales of Saxony that had all but vanished, Gose is a peculiar yet captivating brew. With a base of an unfiltered wheat ale, it’s vivid and refreshing yet also has a softness to it. The flavor is brought to life by an unexpected touch of salt for a mineral quality, and coriander for a peppery spice. The result is an unusual and delicate brew that’s full of flavors to discover. Batch #1

Bottle. Cloudy gold color with a medium head. Aroma is a touch of funk and not much else. Salty and slight sour almost lemony, not much spice though.

16.9 ounce bottle. Hazy copper color. Firm creamy beige head with nice clinging lace. Sweet malty nose has hints of coriander and white toast. Interesting subtle sweet malt flavor upfront. Notes of caramel, butter and coriander spice. Some saltiness and grassy hops in finish. Different.

On tap at Mellow Mushroom St. Mathews. Hazy golden with small white head. Aroma is light tart, medium body, low carbonation, and little lacing. Taste is mineral water and some tartness.

500ml fake me out bomber. Glowing orange body. Thick, steady off-white head. The aroma is nice and true to style, a hint of wheaty funk, salt, lemon. Seems like it is fighting a rugged battle with the Sam Adams base ingredients and wins, kudos to the brewer. Unique, querky. The salt is noticeable, drying out the still present banana wheat tones. Not quite crisp enough to be considered authentic, some medium malts hold it back from that. Enjoyable enough, but doesn’t have a crisp, sharp, clean bite like you might hope for.

Reviewed from notes.
The appearance had a cloudy golden color and gave a one finger white foamy head that dies fairly quickly to a half finger. Minimal lacing lasts for about ten seconds before sliding into the body. No carbonation is seen rising due to a cloudy body.
The smell had some coriander up front with some buttery malty/caramel thing going on, interesting.
The taste was sharp and salty bringing back the coriander and that buttery malty/caramel thing.
The palate sat about a medium to heavy with nothing sharp on the tongue.
Overall, since this is my first gose, I’m not quite sure what to say about how to compares to other \"goses,\" but this is at least do-able for me, average at best, and would probably only seek again on tap or growler just to get a fresher look at this one.

Draft at the Bier Baron in DC. Poured a slightly hazy orange color with a white head. Aroma was notes of light, watery malts, some salt, dishwater notes to it. Flavor was light water, touch of salt with some light bitter malts.
